ABOUT THIS PIECE
A ceremonial RELiCS piece that reinterprets the presence of the Japanese festival garment known as happi through an oversized silhouette.
At the lower back, the SHIBI signature “SHB” is set in an original typeface inspired by traditional seals. At the center of the back, the character 痲 is constructed from individually dismantled panels of the Adidas Buazuca football—an icon of the FIFA WOrld Cup 2014 stage—then rebuilt by hand.
Japanese tradition, the memory of football, and street sensibility converge in this one-of-one piece.
An art piece that leaves the time of the game and the atmosphere of festival on the back of its wearer.
