Undercover, the brand run by Jun Takahashi, has officially announced on social media that it will cease its womenswear runway shows for the time being in order to concentrate on menswear.

On March 2, Undercover announced that it will stop putting on women’s runway shows after having presented its autumn/ winter 2018 collection, “We are infinite”.

Jun Takahashi said on Undercover social media: “Jun here. The show of our women’s latest collection, “we are infinite” is done. A big decision was made and it will be the last one before focusing on men’s runway shows for upcoming seasons for a while. (Of course, I will keep making womenswear collections and presenting it in a unique but different way). I am very much looking forward to it! Hope you feel the same way."

From June, the brand will showcase its latest menswear collections on the catwalks during Paris Men’s Fashion Week.

In January this year, Undercover marked its return to menswear in a joint show with Takahiro Miyashita the Soloist in Florence,  almost ten years after the label's first men's show.
