Spring 2010 Preview | Man of Moods

“Humor & Flexible” — MofM Fall 2009

Japan­ese label Man of Moods’ upcom­ing fall col­lec­tion is an exten­sion of inno­cent explo­ration and dis­cov­ery. Inspired by that mode of thought, Man of Moods’ cre­ative direc­tor Hukuyama Masakazu finds the free­dom and flex­i­bil­ity to play with the struc­ture of his col­lec­tion intro­duc­ing detailed geo­met­ric pat­terns in a pre­cise man­ner. Masakazu is suc­cess­ful in cre­at­ing a col­lec­tion that achieves Man of Moods’ sig­na­ture use of color as well as demon­strat­ing a grounded util­i­tar­ian nature.

“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.

MofM (Man of Moods) Fall 2008

Man of Moods is a pop­u­lar japan­ese label founded in 2003 by designer Yuya Noguchi and direc­tor Masakazu Fukuyama. Man of Moods is known for their slim sil­hou­ettes and fre­quent use of color.  This season’s col­lec­tion, titled “Morans” is all about col­ors that pop and the infil­tra­tion of “M” emblems.
