Children of the Discordance Launches "Second Edition" Label

The extension of Hideaki Shikama’s brand offers pared-back essentials infused with his countercultural flair.

Since its founding, Hideaki Shikama has infused his taste for vintage and archival fashion into Children of the Discordance‘s collections. Now, the brand is getting its own sub-label called Second Edition, which will be available exclusively at Japanese retailer B’2nd. Children of the Discordance has unveiled the first images of its new sub-label, debuting a pared-back collection of versatile essentials.

Muted shades of grey, brown, and navy make up a solid range of outerwear, including a long parka with an extra-wide collar, a mock-neck fleece jacket with vaulted paneling, and a bomber jacket boasting open vents at the chest.

Standing out among the outerwear is a sleeveless puffer vest with a roomy hood, styled with washed-out carpenter pants. Elsewhere, a navy blue track pant features ornate taping along the side seam and trousers are constructed with deep pleats for a dressed-up look.

Beneath the strong outerwear silhouettes, shirting appears more expressively. A traditional plaid flannel cut with a camp collar is joined by a tan-hued button-up printed with a technicolor tribal design that dissolves into disparate shapes.

The first collection of Children of The Discordance’s Second Edition line will be available on November 2 at B’2nd‘s online store.
