UNDERCOVER FALL/WINTER 2023 COLLECTION IS PAYING HOMAGE TO TERRY HALL AND MANUEL GÖTTSCHING 

“As the song “Enjoy Yourself” by the Specials says, life is over in a flash, so with my collection, I wanted to convey that if that be the case, let’s live what little life we have to the fullest. Life will present us with hills and valleys to cross. I want to remember the positive attitude I had when I was young. The Specials and Manuel Göttsching created some of the most meaningful music to my life. Thus, I included The Specials’ symbolic ska two-tone, three-button suits and rude boy style, as well as the graphic image of ska, black and white checkers, in this collection. I also included ambient music pioneer Manuel Göttsching’s masterpiece E2-E4 album cover’s off-white and brown checkers. As I was deciding the themes of this collection, both The Special’s lead vocalists, Terry Hall and Manuel Göttsching, passed away. I don’t know what that means, but I wanted this collection to pay homage to these incredible two artists.”
