FÖTUS - FUTURE IS BRIGHT!

via Kerouac Magazine (circa 1997 - 2002)

Japanese cyberpunk brand FÖTUS (フェトウス) found its genesis in the 90’s rave scene. Immediately adored by DJ’s and musicians such as Miyavi, Pierrot, and DJ SiSeN, and their fans were quick to follow suit.

The brainchild of self-taught fashion designer Masahiro Saito in 1997, FÖTUS was less of a business venture than an artistic statement. Unsatisfied with the monotony of Japanese fashion trends, Saito strived to create something that stood out, and made people ask questions. “Not to get rich. I only wanted to make something special,” he claimed in an interview in 2003.

Saito made use of polyester, latex, colourful plastic and avant-garde accessories, often centred around neon colours and futuristic concepts. Utilizing unconventional designs and shapes, he transformed neo-futurism and cyberpunk elements into a new look, transmuting the wearer into something almost extra-terrestrial. The name “FÖTUS” is derived from the German word for fetus. As the name suggests, the brand celebrates the birth of something new; the emergence of expectations and hope for the future.

The brand stopped releasing and closed down sometimes after 2005, however, various pieces from the FÖTUS collection still exist. Due to the ephemerality of the brand, it is rare to find a piece in mint condition, and asking prices are extremely high.

Those who live by the sword will die by the sword.

And apparently, those who's political fortunes rise by Bill Clinton sex scandals will fall by Bill Clinton sex scandals.

”happy victims"

In 2008, Kyoichi Tsuzuki documented the fashion brand addiction of young japanese collectors. Through HAPPY VICTIMS, he gives us an insight into their collection, and interior. By putting an interview next to each photograph, he also brings us some explanations about their behavior.

"People find my photos of fashion victims interesting because such top-of-the-line items coexist with their less-than-fabulous everyday lifestyles, all very matter-of-factly. To see top people surrounded top goods by might make people jealous, while the lowest of the low scraping the very bottom of the barrel is merely painful to look at. But when things mix that normally don’t go belong together, now that’s the stuff of excitement and inspiration."

this series of photos were taken to warn people about over consumption, I see a lot of people glamorize these pictures or say they’re "goals" and it upsets me! ethical over consumption is still over consumption. That’s something I don’t think many j-fashioners realize :(
