Number (N)ine to Shut Down

February 22, 2009Uncategorizedby Staff1014 Views

number-nine-closing

According to Hint Magazine, Japanese brand label Number (N)ine by Takahiro Miyashita will be coming to an end.

“Today we received a letter (an actual letter, so you know it’s serious) from Number (N)ine. It started with this quote: “When you’re finished changing, you’re finished.” You guessed it: the Tokyo-based, Paris-showing men’s label launched 12 years ago by Takahiro Miyashita is closing. The fall ’09 collection—portentously called A Closed Feeling—was the last. The letter went on to say “Over the last decade, Number (N)ine evolved, always forging ahead with a unique and potent vision, to emerge as one of the leading brands of Japan.” We agree with the sentiment. Number (N)ine will be (m)issed.”

    I heard it’s because it is 2009, and in 2010 they will startup up as Number (T)en. They have always been about growth, and this fits in with their vision according to Mayasaki Magazine, the article will be published next month… So it is not truly a goodbye, but rather a see you in 2010 as a new leader.<< really?

    Good. One less Japanese brand biting US style and cashing in. Without New York and California, the Japanese would all be wearing Uniforms.

They have always been about growth, and this fits in with their vision according to Mayasaki Magazine, the article will be published next month… So it is not truly a goodbye, but rather a see you in 2010 as a new leader.
