Product Overview A quintessential archive piece from Takahiro Miyashita's early era at Number (N)ine. Originally featured on the Spring/Summer 2002 runway, this cardigan perfectly embodies the brand's signature grunge-infused, deconstructed aesthetic. It is a foundational piece of early 2000s Japanese avant-garde menswear.
Key Design Elements
Heavy Distressing: Features intentional, meticulous distressing throughout the garment. This includes dropped stitches, laddering, small holes, and frayed hems, giving it an authentic, lived-in punk look.
Lightweight Open Knit: Crafted from a highly breathable, semi-sheer knit fabric. The delicate, spiderweb-like texture makes it an excellent, atmospheric layering piece.
Subtle Graphic Details: The semi-sheer front reveals the brand's signature diagonal stripe motif printed on the interior/back, a hallmark of Miyashita's hidden, detail-oriented design language.
Classic Silhouette: Maintains a traditional V-neck cardigan shape with a simple button front, contrasting the chaotic distressing with a classic structural foundation.
