For all those who couldn’t make it to last week’s popup, we’re offering 20% off EVERYTHING on our site - use code “POPUP20” at checkout. From the Middleman Personal Collection: Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme AW1990 Bullseye Jacket. This jacket ironically ascribes a chaotic quality to a bullseye — something by definition deathly still — by reconstructing it in an asymmetric pattern, and adding the evocative “Don’t Shoot Me” statement in a similarly hectic font. The jacket has the classic, unstructured silhouette that Yohji often utilized in the early ‘90s. Not for sale.

Releasing Friday: Jean Paul Gaultier SS1994 Graffiti Trucker Jacket. Throughout his career, Jean Paul Gaultier was always prescient in championing taboo and maligned parts of society. We can see it expressed in less drastic terms with his early adoptions of heavy metal imagery, during an era when public backlash against Marilyn Manson was reaching a fervor, and more powerfully with his statements on AIDS, (notably his famous Safe Sex Forever print) which claimed Gaultier’s longtime lover. It’s logical that he would have appreciated graffiti as an artistic medium long before the general public. While it was a key visual aesthetic of the ‘90s, both as a method of art and rebellion, it was often looked down upon by the art world and general public. Gaultier employed graffiti prints numerous times during his career, with this trucker jacket being one of the more notable offerings. It features some famous iconography, including the silhouetted sketch of Gaultier himself, reintroduced by Supreme in their recent collaboration with the label. Available Friday the 3rd, 12:00PM EST (-5 GMT), at Middlemanstore.com.

Releasing Friday: Jean Paul Gaultier SS2000 “Anarchism” Pants. JPG by Gaultier was a more youthful offshoot of the designer’s mainline, which symbiotically aimed to cater towards the young and fashion-forward market he drew so much inspiration from. It was prescient in its attitudes towards gender, as much of the line was intended to be unisex. Like much of his work, these pants reference a subculture that was largely thought of as taboo, with mohawk’d punks on display, and Gaultier's own “JPG” logo interspersed between. Available Friday the 26th, 12:00PM EST (-5 GMT), at Middlemanstore.com.
