The first solo exhibition "Presence in Absence" of Taiga Takahashi, a designer and contemporary artist who passed away in April 2022, was held from December 3rd to 11th, 2022, at Ryosoku-in Temple, a sub-temple of Kennin-ji Temple in Kyoto. Takahashi, a designer and contemporary artist, passed away at the young age of 27. After studying art and fashion in the UK from the age of 15, he worked for a maison brand before launching his own brand in New York in 2017. He had just begun full-scale operations in Japan in the 2021 autumn/winter season. He described his own clothing creation as "similar to the work of an archaeologist," focusing on the artifacts of human clothing from ancient times to the present, unearthing what was lost and forgotten, and breathing life into them again. Takahashi's thoughts and aesthetic sense extended not only to clothing but also to architecture, sculpture, and art. This was embodied in the solo exhibition "Presence in Absence." In conjunction with this exhibition, the installation "Mirror Reflecting Time" was held at "T.T," a flagship gallery and comprehensive art space. Vintage archives of the brand's signature items, the coverall jacket and denim trousers, items that revived them in the present day, and past collection archives he had created were specially exhibited. Furthermore, "LOT.303 COVERALL JACKET “IN THE PRESENSE OF ABSENCE”" was available for pre-order in a limited edition of 30 pieces. This jacket was based on an American coverall from around 1910, excavated from a coal mine, and retained the characteristics of the era of mass production and mass consumption that began in America about 100 years ago, such as straight stitching and flat patterns, while revising the silhouette and details. Size is 38. The second button on the front is a special specification unique to this item, engraved with the dates of the exhibition. Measurements taken with the garment laid flat: Length (excluding collar): 65cm Width (underarm to underarm): 61cm Shoulder: 51cm Sleeve length (shoulder to cuff): 58cm Please note that there may be slight variations due to amateur measurements. The condition is, in my opinion, beautiful with no significant damage. taiga takahashi Taiga Takahashi LIMITED EDITION coverall jacket denim jacket Levi's Lee CIOTA OUR LEGACY kota gushiken visvim AURALEE COMOLI OUTIL AUBERGE
