■PEEL&LIFT_2-row pudding belt■

This work is based on a belt with flat conical studs (commonly known as pudding studs), which is estimated to have been worn by Sid Vicious around 1977〜1978.
The motif of this work is based on photographs and videos of Sid after he joined the Sex Pistols, but the shapes and details of the work strongly reflect the aesthetic sense and improvisational sense of editing around Malcolm McLaren, the center of punk fashion formation in London at the time. The two sizes of pudding tacks, large and small, are used to create the punk fashion of the time.
The stud arrangement of alternating large and small pudding studs, the excessively chunky square buckles, the addition of kamaboko studs that have no intrinsic functionality, and the studded sarukan (belt loop) are all editorial techniques that prioritize visual noise and discomfort over practicality, and are considered to have been developed in the style of the punk fashion of 1977. The addition of pudding studs and buckles are consistent with the characteristics of the period.
The pudding studs and buckles are original in both sizes, based on verification of the shape and fixing structure of the vintage studs used at the time. The fact that the two-pin studs are made of a pressed type, rather than the commonly used bottom studs for bags, is also a decision made with an awareness of both the roughness and strength seen in the trinkets of the time.
This work is a product that reconstructs, from a documentary point of view, the London punk trinket culture of
1977–78, which existed between the improvisational nature of personal items and the editorial and dramatic sensibilities shared by McLaren and his colleagues.
