Undercover’s Spring/Summer 2001 collection sees a dynamic three-way collaboration between Undercover, Kaws, and WTAPS. The result was a vibrant collection filled with bright, fluorescent garments.

Models donned clothing that appeared multilayered but was actually a single garment, utilizing trompe-l’œil to recreate three-dimensional space on a flat surface. Printed collars, belt loops, and pockets created an illusion of depth.

Staying true to his love for utilitarian and punk-sque garments, we get the very first iteration of the 6 pouch utility belt. Which quickly gained a cult following and reappeared in collaborations with brands like Full-BK and Supreme.

We also witness a return of the politically charged slogan “Generation Fuck You” on this bandolier. A statement that reflects the youth’s frustration with an increasingly competitive decade and limited economic opportunities.
