Tadadshi Mochizuki's Throwbacks

In today’s world of oh-so-current pop culture references and off-the-cuff fashion collaborations, high quality apparel with a minimalist style comes as a breath of fresh air. Tokyo-born stylist Tadadshi Mochizuki must have felt the same when he developed his RICO clothing line in 2002; his latest release takes inspiration from the 1965 Dylan classic “Subterranean Homesick Blues” and its accompanying video shot in an alley behind London’s Savoy Hotel during Dylan’s Don’t Look Back tour. Mochizuki plucked key words from the cue cards Dylan holds up during the video and incorporated them into his latest release of men’s t-shirts. The shirts have a casual yet sophisticated style and the nearly abstract design will appeal to the most discriminating tastes – including Dylan fans. The RICO tees are available exclusively at Gamma Player, one of Chicago’s freshest boutiques.
