autumn/winter 2014, layering, matohu, Mercedes Benz Fashion Week - Tokyo, soft colours, wearable
As I had anticipated, one of my absolute favourite
Japanese labels did not disappoint.
Domo arigatou, matohu!
…
matohu for a/w 2014
presented a collection, which hit all the right styling notes
sounding an harmonious chord of:
layering
soft / subdued coordinate colours
movement
varied textiles
ease
wearability
…
Launched in 2005, matohu is the brainchild of design duo
Makiko Sekiguchi and Hiroyuki Horihata

who are both graduates (1998) of the Men’s Design course
at the prestigious Bunka Fashion College, Tokyo.
Following graduation from Bunka, Sekiguchi and Horihata
were employed as pattern makers, respectively at
COMME des GARCONS and Yohji Yamamoto
(note the influences, which inform the matohu aesthetics)
