Masatomo Spring 2010

Masatomo’s lat­est col­lec­tion is a light­hearted affair. Based around the idea “to enjoy one­self and have a good time”, the spring col­lec­tion is an escape from our every­day lives to enjoy the leisure of a south sea island. Cap­tur­ing the dream-​​like clouds and scenic views of this island, unique ink jet tech­nics were used to craft bold trousers and tops. Black silk flow­ers are skill­fully scat­tered across jack­ets and trousers to appear float­ing. A linen based mix is dou­ble weaved for the collection’s notice­able black and white striped gar­ments. Con­tin­u­ing the wist­ful retreat are effort­lessly chic sarouel pants – sev­eral cut from silk pat­terns rep­re­sent­ing the French flag and oth­ers from Africa. Adding to the collection’s mer­ri­ment and spon­tane­ity are polka dots play­fully scat­tered across suit­ing. Round­ing off the col­lec­tion are fine leather jack­ets, with just the right amount of glamor for the Masatomo man, but still light enough for a sum­mer evening. Alto­gether, the spring col­lec­tion is a won­der­ful way to end one book of a con­tin­u­ing series in prepa­ra­tion for a fresh begin­ning. Inspired by the Japan­ese tra­di­tion of chang­ing one’s name when you come to a cross­road, fall 2010 will see the relaunch of Masatomo as Rynshu.
