UNDERCOVER Pre-Spring 2026 Plots a Refined Western Noir
ForPre-Fall 2025,Jun Takahashi'sUNDERCOVERproposed a revival of Mod style, evoking 90s rock subculture and British counterculture. This time, with a toned-down palette focused on grayscale and dry earth tones, the Japanese designer evokes a cinematic fusion of Western, grunge, and tailored sensibilities for its Pre-Spring 2026 collection. Departing from the neon-tinged hues, florals, and jeweled trims of UNDERCOVER's Fall 2025 line, Pre-Spring 2026 is a rather quiet statement. Sophisticated Montana-style hats are the binding thread, present through diverse looks combining tailored sets, vintage bohemian sensibilities, and contemporary streetwear staples, signature to the label. Like the Pre-Fall 2025 campaign, the looks begin with elevated styles, including a deconstructed black two-piece with an exposed white lining and a dark brown pinstriped camp shirt and shorts set. A particularly elegant moment arrives with a stark white suit in lightweight fabric and styled with a white pinstripe shirt. Later, a solid brown shirt jacket combines military and heritage influences with a chino-collar, Asian knot buttons, and utilitarian patch pockets. High-water trouser inseams and roomy continue as the looks become more casual and Jun Takahashi's edgy ethos comes to the fore. An indigo trucker jacket is emblazoned with various patches, a typographic motif reads 'I hear more than you can hear,' bold touches of primary red and deep purple add contemporaneity to the collection. A haphazardly written 'I am chaos' graphic is a recurring theme, embroidered on the toebox of flat-soled loafers and an oversized brown t-shirt. The lookbook closes with the boldest print of the collection — a modern gridded camouflage, applied to a liner jacket silhouette and shorts covered with cargo pockets. See the gallery above for a full look at UNDERCOVER's Pre-Spring 2026 Collection.

Latitude 66 preps for epic EU-funded, deep-rock critical minerals hunt
Latitude 66's KSB project in Finland is a key part of a wide-scale, €5 million (A$8.91M) European Union-funded, deep-rock geophysical and geological exploration and innovation program that will hunt for new critical mineral resources. The imminent UNDERCOVER project aims to increase raw materials production and will include Finland's Kuusamo Schist Belt, on which Latitude 66's flagship project sits. UNDERCOVER – an acronym for 'unified novel deep exploration for critical ore discovery' – is being funded through the European Union's Horizon Europe research and innovation program. UNDERCOVER aims to also develop new technologies to advance critical raw materials exploration to about 1000 metres vertical depth. The program will comprise extensive seismic and electromagnetic geophysical measurements across multiple Finnish municipalities located around Latitude 66's flagship grounds, including Kuusamo, Posio, Taivalkoski, Ranua, Salla, Kemijärvi, Rovaniemi and Pudasjärvi. The project's studies will extend beyond Finland to the Iberian Pyrite Belt in Portugal and the Kalahari Copper Belt in Namibia, where it will also develop and integrate new exploration technologies and targeting methodologies. 'It's exciting for the first work program of the UNDERCOVER project to commence… The work program covers Lat66's 100%-owned KSB project, where we recently completed a robust scoping study that demonstrates potential for a standalone gold-cobalt development with upside potential.'
