Beauty:Beast 90s ‘Poem’ Denim Jacket
Japanese cult label Beauty:Beast was founded in 1990 by designer Takao Yamashita.
It’s popularity took off shortly after the first collection in 1991, propelled by the rise of Harajuku street fashion & urban culture.
The brand’s distinctive style stems from punk influences, however Yamashita explored these ideas under the light of themes such as fairytales and religion.
Printed on the chest of the jacket is Matthew 7:7-8, two verses from the King James Version of the Bible. It reads:
“Ask and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you;
for every one that asketh recieveth;
and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh
it shall be opened.”
These verses begin an important metaphor generally believed to be about prayer.
Other notable details of the jacket include it’s large buttons, and the red tag on the back of the jacket - an homage to Levi’s.
