[OPENING — the hook. Drop cap kicks it off. Land the thesis + "situation normal" fast.]

[Second paragraph of the cold open before the first image.]

01 The store before the runway

[Short history funnel — Nowhere/Nigo, Kawakubo → Paris, "Scab", the But Beautiful run. Every beat points at "T".]

02 The people in the room

[Collaborators → end on Kitamura (Hysteric Glamour) as the bridge into the collection.]

03 The label that never was

[The concept — Undercover Records, kosmische musik, the "musicians' own ethnic dress" idea, the screening. The Takahashi origin quote lands here.]

[Pull-quote — e.g. He chased the feeling of a band, then manufactured the evidence.]
