NEXUSVII

http://www.nexusvii.jp/about

NEXUSVII believes that wearing the clothes which combine the value of both the practicality and the artistry under the cultural backgrounds would be the ideal daily lifestyle. We have been reiterating the trials and the errors to create modern clothing’s which could correspond to the various situations by adopting "the multifaceted elements", understanding "the wisdoms of forerunners", and using "the craftsmen's skills" being inherited from those pioneers for over 10 years. This is the concept of NEXUSVII, "MULTIPLE MANIAXX & TECHNIXX", and we will keep producing the practical and artistry clothes that reflects all of these elements so they fit to people's lifestyle and could be worn for a long time.

FROM MICHAEL KOPELMAN

“I met Dick in the 80’s. He was friends with Mark and James Lebon . They were making a film called Headcases and they wanted to film in the garage below my flat. I began to notice Dick’s work after that. Mark and James had some of Dicks prints and I bought his book Found Photos and his print The Marilyn Myth.

I worked with Nobu Kitamura of Hysteric Glamour and Dick on the book he made for them of the same name.

I am a fan of Dicks work and films to this day.

My hope is that Dick will have an exhibition in Japan in 2022 and that I will be there.”
