“I think there’s a space within
sacai that’s never been explored,” says
Hiroshi Fujiwara in our interview on
HYPEBEAST Radio. What started out as a small project between Hiroshi and
Chitose Abe has progressed to an exclusive collection of “official bootlegs” intended on exploring the idea of bootleg merch. Spanning various tees, coach jackets, sweatshirts and New Era hats, the collection pays tribute to a range of satirical graphics — for example, graphics such as “SACAI / (NOT sacai)” or “Approved Bootleg” are emblazoned throughout. Hidden plaid materials are tucked inside the coach jackets for bonus material, while subtle sacai and
fragment design branding show out at the front of the tees in typewriter typeface.
