After leaving influential Japanese cult label Number (N)ine in 2009, designer Takahiro Miyashita wasted no time in founding his next venture, an eponymous label called TAKAHIROMIYASHITA The Soloist. As the name suggests, the brand’s output represents a completely unfettered execution of Miyashita’s personal style and creative vision.

The Soloist moniker proves to be an especially apt one, as the rock subculture influences of Miyashita’s previous work are infused with the sophistication of virtuoso tailoring, intricate attention to detail, and an innovative, progressive design sensibility.

For A/W 21 the enigmatic Takahiro Miyashita uses the combined inspiration of Cassavettes, Fight Club, James Ellroy’s Black Dahlia and the Beatles movie Help! for a collection that walks the line of prep and punk with a focus on accents like zippers and safety pins.
