Undercover Menswear Autumn 2026

Ever the rebel, Jun Takahashi chose “We Make Noise Not Clothes” as one of his seasonal slogans. Still, it’s clothes and not noise that keeps the lights on, and so his pre-fall collections provide a decidedly quieter vector for the brand’s nonconformist streak, distilling the spirit of his runways into something easier to buy into. According to the notes from the Tokyo studio, this outing was focused on “contemporary interpretations of classical basic items”; and so it appeared, with a roster of T-shirts, sweaters, button-up shirts, bomber jackets, and tailoring with subtle twists that were uniformly easy on the eyes. The collection was rendered almost entirely in black—all the better for the variegated anatomical hearts embroidered onto the elbows of some jackets to stand out.
