When you're finished changing, you're finished. We'll miss... Number (N)ine－天下萬務都有定時，在馬路上玩樂也是

NUMBER (N)INE的官方宣佈該品牌要收掉的消息，今天馬上上網查新聞

沒錯!這一切都是真的

根據網路雜誌 Hint Fashion 表示他們收到官方聲明如下:
"When you're finished changing, you're finished." You guessed it: the Tokyo-based, Paris-showing men's label launched 12 years ago by Takahiro Miyashita is closing. The fall '09 collection—portentously called A Closed Feeling—was the last. Miyashita will exit the group, which has already begun disbanding, and "the brand as we know it will come to an end." The letter goes on to say "Over the last decade, Number (N)ine evolved, always forging ahead with a unique and potent vision, to emerge as one of the leading brands of Japan." We agree with the sentiment. Number (N)ine will be missed.

兩天後，該雜誌又補上來自該品牌的捕充說明
"Yes, it is true. The collection we just showed was the final. We will produce it and finish out the year with that beautiful stuff. Then at that point all stores will close. Takahiro is emotionally and physically exhausted. He is taking a break and will be back with something soon. For now we all have to stock up our favorites as they will be gone come December."

其實誠如他們所說的從09 A/W系列就可發現他們打算收掉，除了系列名叫"A Closed Feeling"
滿場MODEL以黑紗罩面更可嗅出端倪

據側面了解，設計師宮下貴裕(Takahiro Miyashita)最近受憂鬱症所苦故打算退出此團隊。
退出當然是可以找別人頂替，繼續帶領Number (N)ine走下去，但他本人似乎不願意於是演變成這樣子...
其實這樣也好，Number (N)ine就不致成為另一個走調的品牌吧~

設計師真的是個消耗量很大的產業，大家不要羨慕他們的光鮮，背後可是如黃鶯泣血
為了演奏出完美的樂音，所耗費的心力及精神真的不是常人能想像的呀

附上他在秀上所放送的音樂，為何在此放這個?畢竟這是後知後覺的我們揣測他現在心境唯一途徑啊!

Gold and silver is the autumn
Soft and tender are her skies
Yes and no are the answers
Written in my true love's eyes

Autumn's leaving and winter's coming
I think that I'll be moving along
I've got to leave her and find another
I've got to sing my heart's true song

Round and round the burning circle
All the seasons: one, two, and three
Autumn comes and then the winter
Spring is born and wanders free

Gold and silver burn my autumns
All too soon they'd fade and die
And then, oh there are no others
Milk and honey were their lies
