HIKKI PUNKS EXIT SOCIETY
HIKKI PUNKS EXIT SOCIETY is a streetwear capsule collection by Remilia Corporation, announced on March 13, 2026, and released beginning March 30 of that year.[1] Designed at Remilia's Seoul studio, it is Remilia's first dedicated streetwear line, distinct from its Remilia Atelier fashion collaboration with Elena Velez. The lookbook for the collection was photographed by Shoichi Aoki, founder of FRUiTS Magazine, in Seoul's Eul-jiro neighborhood.
Design
The collection centers on heavyweight cotton hoodies, distressed shirting, tartan wools, and leather and metal accessories, with construction details including chain stitching at the shoulders and neckline, pigment surface treatments, and hand-finished sprayed and splattered paint.[1] Spray-painted slogans reading "EXIT SOCIETY 100% NEET GOD" and "HIKKIKIMORI CONDITION" appear across garments, framing the collection's central tension: hyper-visibility and withdrawal coexisting within the same silhouette.
Remilia positioned the collection as intended for what it terms a "network aristocracy": artists, coders, traders, and digitally native individuals whose cultural identity rejects traditional institutions in favor of decentralized, informal scenes.[1] In a statement accompanying the announcement, Charlotte Fang described the lifestyle brand as "the last form of subcultural signaling available in the database era where all cultural access has flattened," characterizing the collection's target wearer as the "princely NEET" — a figure Fang likened to a contemporary desert monk who protests society through deliberate withdrawal rather than rejection by it.
Launch and lookbook
The collection launched exclusively through remilia.com across six biweekly drops beginning March 30, 2026.[1] Campaign photography by Shoichi Aoki, shot in the condemned Eul-jiro district of Seoul, was compiled into a 60-page lookbook-artbook, with print editions included with initial direct-to-consumer and select retail orders.
Aoki's involvement connects HIKKI PUNKS EXIT SOCIETY to the lineage of Japanese street style documentation for which he is known through FRUiTS Magazine, which he founded to chronicle Harajuku youth fashion beginning in 1997. This continues a broader Remilia–Aoki collaboration that has included FRUiTS x Remilia Tokyo 2026 and other events.
