Summary

EVISU, FAF and BEAMS T have joined forces for the first time on a five-piece collection built from EVISU’s 1990s denim archive

FAF reinterprets archival EVISU cuts and motifs through its design focus on clothing that moves between urban and outdoor life

Japanese rapper MIKADO produced an original track for the launch and will perform it live at a party in Harajuku

EVISU, FAF and BEAMS T have unveiled their first joint collection, a tight five-piece lineup that pulls EVISU’s archival denim into the present with updated cuts and reworked graphic details. FAF leads the design side, revisiting silhouettes and decorations from EVISU’s 1990s heritage and adapting them for wearers who split their time between the city and the outdoors. The result is a capsule spanning denim, fleece and accessories, all anchored in the craftsmanship that built EVISU’s reputation.

The denim jacket and jeans form the backbone of the collection, each refitted with cuts drawn from reinterpreted archival patterns rather than lifted wholesale from the vault. EVISU’s signature seagull logo makes its return here too, now rendered in sequins for a glinting take on one of Japanese denim’s most recognizable marks. Together, the pieces read as a faithful nod to the label’s early output, sharpened with proportions that suit a contemporary wardrobe.

Moving beyond denim, the zip-up hoodie carries EVISU’s original “Ishigaki Camouflage” pattern, giving an in-house print a fresh canvas outside the brand’s usual five-pocket territory. The graphic sweatshirt takes a more playful route, merging EVISU and FAF iconography and characters into a single design that makes the partnership visible at a glance. Both pieces lean into the collaborative premise, pairing one label’s archive with the other’s graphic sensibility.

The shoulder bag is the collection’s most literal homage, shaped as a trompe l’oeil of EVISU’s denim back pockets. By turning the brand’s most identifiable denim detail into a standalone accessory, FAF lets the archive function as both reference point and object. It rounds out a capsule where every piece traces directly back to a specific EVISU signature.

Music forms the final layer of the project. MIKADO produced an original track for the occasion and will perform it at the launch party at BEAMS T Harajuku on November 20 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. JST, with DJ sets from Tokyo-based VLOT and other local acts filling out the bill.

The EVISU x FAF x BEAMS T collection arrives on November 20 at EVISU Japan and BEAMS stores. Online, it drops at 12:30 p.m. JST via EVISU JP, BEAMS and ZOZOTOWN, and at 6:30 p.m. JST via EVISU US. A wider rollout follows on November 21, when the collection lands in-store and online in Taiwan, Hong Kong and the US.
