Takashi Murakami and Yuta Hosokawa’s READYMADE have announced the release of a limited-edition batch of vintage jeans that combine the artist’s iconic smiling flower and skull graphics with the Japanese label’s expertise in handcrafted products and upcycled materials.
The jeans come in a light wash with an original red-ink Levi’s jacrons and a unique frayed finish. Multicolored Murakami flowers are embroidered in singles and pairs across the pant legs, waistband, and pockets, with silver flower-shaped button fly studs and skull-shaped rivets to finish the look.
The Takashi Murakami x READYMADE jeans will be available on the Tonari no Zingaro website on May 16 at 8 p.m. JST (7 a.m. EDT). An ultra-limited batch will be released and each pair is priced at ¥418,000 (approximately $3,230 USD).
