Undercover Resort 2026 Collection
Graphic jolt apart, this was a collection of gentle deconstruction and thoughtful renovation from Jun Takahashi's Undercover. It saw the designer make delicate experiments with classic clothing recipes in order to hint at subtly fresh wearable flavors: fashion fusion cuisine.
The opening look mixed a workwear jacket and cuffed track pant in light white cotton, to which tweaks in placket, seaming, collar shape and fastening added a varietal uniqueness. A black dress pant came with a folded white T-shirt that hung from the waistline as a flounce. Suspender straps peeped from the waistline of a black skirt. Denim jackets and pants were constructed from an asymmetric patchwork collage of fabric whose attractively illogical fit made the outfit.
Some fun piano key stripes played out across a slashed back T-shirt layered over a silky blouse or paneled into the shoulders of a jersey cardigan. Hoodies and pants cut from striped shirting fabric and featuring shirt construction details in the yolk and hem were pleasantly contemporary alternatives for those inclined to pajama dressing. Mixed material hemming created a trompe l'oeil impression of layering on a denim shirt, while roughly cut raised inserts tracing the arms and hood of a hoodie subtly changed the signature of its silhouette. A brocade insert created mild surprise in an MA1, while the outline of a corseted LBD impressed within the facade of a maroon shirt was more directly arresting.
A horizontally conjoined T-shirt, faux fur fronted and jersey panel backed jacket, and viscose fronted pleat-inserted camp collar shirt eased into the final phase of the collection. This was defined by a mournful floral print spliced with some of the fragmented garment samples we had already seen Takahashi mix with. With a gently eroticized black suit, the season faded to black.

Kaviani Sisters Built Naked Wardrobe Into Global Celeb Fashion Empire
Kaviani Sisters Built Naked Wardrobe Into A Global Celebrity Empire In a world where the fashion industry remains heavily male-dominated, three Iranian-American sisters have carved out their own fashion empire from their parents' living room and called it Naked Wardrobe. Shirin, Shida, and Shideh Kaviani didn't just build a brand, but a movement that celebrates female empowerment, body confidence, and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood. Today, Naked Wardrobe graces the bodies of A-list celebrities like the Kardashians, Jennifer Lopez, and Carmen Electra, but the path to this glittering success was paved with failure, resilience, and an unwavering belief in their vision. The First Fall And Rise Of Naked Wardrobe Fifteen years ago, long before e-commerce became the norm, the Kaviani sisters had an idea before Naked Wardrobe took off. "Our first stab at fashion was 15 years ago, but we failed. We couldn't get our website off the ground and we had an excess of inventory as a result," recalls Shideh, the youngest sister who studied at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) and now serves as President. But failure didn't defeat them. Instead of giving up, they transformed their setback into an intimate shopping experience. They hung their inventory on racks in their parents' living room, baked fresh cookies, and invited their entire community in California to shop. It was guerrilla retail at its finest, born from necessity and sisterly determination. "We all took a step back because we were so disappointed and thought about venturing into our own lanes and respective careers," Shideh explains. But sometimes the universe has other plans. When one sister was laid off, it became the catalyst they needed to reunite their dreams. The $7,500 Gamble That Changed Naked Wardrobe Armed with just $7,500 and the hard-earned wisdom from their previous failure, the sisters decided to try again. This time, they were different: more organized, more focused, and crystal clear about their vision. "We learned from our first failures and we knew what we wanted," Shideh notes. The brand name itself tells a story of identity and intention. Initially considering "Kaviani LA" to honor their heritage, they ultimately chose something more profound. "We landed with Naked Wardrobe, because we want people to be comfortable in their own skin and we want our clothes to reflect that and to be the best version of yourself. The word naked seems so raw uncensored and minimalist," Shideh explains. As female entrepreneurs in fashion, the sisters were acutely aware of the gender imbalance in their industry. "The fashion industry was highly dominated by men. Over the years, we continued to utilize our platform and use our voices to shed light on this and encourage more women to chase their boldest dreams," Shirin reflects. How Naked Wardrobe Prioritizes Real Women What sets Naked Wardrobe apart isn't just their business acumen, but also their deep understanding of women's bodies and needs. Despite being sisters, Shirin, Shida, and Shideh each have different body shapes and types, which became their greatest asset in design. "It all became so natural and celebrating our bodies and the simplicity of the garment and making you feel this level of confidence that you didn't even know you had," says Shida. They revolutionized categories like bodysuits and jumpsuits, taking pieces from athletic wear and transforming them into ready-to-wear essentials. Their parents' emphasis on quality over quantity became their guiding principle, leading them to develop their own textiles and build a dedicated team. The signature bodysuit is a must-have in every woman's wardrobe. "For us it was as simple as us going the extra mile. As women what we wear dictates our move. For us it's how do we help our clients go down that journey. We want to be a lifestyle brand and be there for every moment," Shida adds. Naked Wardrobe Is Equipped To Change With Trends Since launching in 2012, the sisters have been trendsetters rather than followers. "We are in a monochromatic phase right now," notes Shirin, the eldest sister. "Colors like red rose tops and rose skirts are great for layering and bring the customer back to core pieces which they can build into a capsule wardrobe." Their intuition for trends has paid off—they're tracking 50% growth for the year, a testament to their ability to evolve with their customers' needs. While they initially operated in the fast fashion space, the sisters recognized the environmental and social costs of overproduction. "As a direct to consumer brand, we really value the quality and fit of our products. For us, getting an order is not enough but more important how to retain that client," Shideh emphasizes. The brand has expanded its offerings to outwear like this faux mink pelted jacket. Naked Wardrobe Proves Sisterhood Is An Asset Working with family could be a recipe for disaster, but the Kaviani sisters have turned it into their superpower. Each sister brings unique expertise: one handles product development and marketing, another manages human resources and brand sales, while the third oversees operations, tech, and design. Even their mother joined the team, officially becoming CFO four years ago. "We are a family business where each of us wears different hats and different expertises," they explain. Their parents instilled a foundation of equality that eliminated sibling rivalry and created a healthy professional dynamic. " Disagreements are normal, but because we have different skillsets, we lean on each other and the beauty of being family is having overlapping, yet different knowledge to elevate our brand," concludes Shida. On Global Expansion And Naked Wardrobe's Future Success hasn't made them complacent. Naked Wardrobe is strategically expanding its global footprint throughout Europe and the Middle East, with plans to launch in Flannels department stores across the United Kingdom in Q2 and expand throughout Canada. 'We have been deliberate in how we would like to scale Naked Wardrobe internationally. Expanding into international markets will allow our overseas clients to experience, feel, and try on our garments firsthand. This move will not only diversify our revenue model but also introduce Naked Wardrobe to a broader global audience, strengthening our brand presence worldwide,' they add. With customer service being their ultimate objective, the sisters strive to employ a hands-on approach to their business which celebrates femininity, confidence, and empowering women to feel confident in their own skin. Made for the modern woman who loves contemporary fashion that makes her feel confident, Naked ... More Wardrobe also includes a wide range of sizes.
