doublet and WISM Deliver Trompe-l’œil "Tuxedo Balloon" Tees
Accompanied by visuals that nod to Netflix’s ‘Human Vapor’ live-action.
Summary
doublet reconnects with WISM for an exclusive Tuxedo Balloon T-Shirt.
The piece maps a flat trompe-l’œil tuxedo print onto a specialized, inflated 3D pattern, creating an illusion of a puffed-up silhouette.
Releasing on July 11, the tee is offered in two colorways.
Japanese imprint doublet is reconnecting with WISM to release an exclusive Tuxedo Balloon T-Shirt, transforming a simple tuxedo print into a playful optical illusion. Instead of a flat graphic, the design is cut to mimic the contours of an inflated, balloon‑like body, giving the impression that the wearer has puffed up inside formal attire. The exaggerated outline swells outward as if filled with air, while the actual body remains neatly contained within the garment.
The release features a clever marketing campaign that serves as a visual nod to the aesthetic of Netflix’s live-action Japanese series, Human Vapor. The drop’s creative visuals mirror the eerie, supernatural themes of the series, showing ghostly, semi-translucent smoke and gas-like silhouettes. Offered in both versatile white and black colorways, the tees are priced at ¥25,300 JPY (approx. $158 USD) and will be available starting July 11, 2026, through WISM’s Shibuya and Horie storefronts, alongside their online e-commerce platform via Baycrew’s Store.
