“Geometrical” — Man of Moods Spring 2009

Titled “Geo­met­ri­cal”, one would assume that the lat­est col­lec­tion from pop­u­lar Japan­ese label Man of Moods would embrace shapes of all sizes and col­ors, but that is not the case. Last season’s “Morans” col­lec­tion was all about bright col­ors and “M” emblems. This sea­son, how­ever, takes a step back with a color palette that is gen­er­ally sub­dued. Clean space is cre­ated by bas­ing the col­lec­tion on ground­ing col­ors black and gray. Estab­lish­ing a slim sil­hou­ette and fine tun­ing the finer details like but­ton place­ment, color is slowly brought in sub­tly with the pre­dom­i­nant use of pur­ple. When not play­ing with color, spon­tane­ity is intro­duced to the col­lec­tion in the form of sheer and metal­lic ele­ments. The cur­rent sea­son is spring, but this col­lec­tion offers an excel­lent exam­ple of how to uti­lize color for the upcom­ing gloomy fall season.
