* FRAME *

The AUTUMN WINTER 2009 collection’s theme is “FRAME.” We present a collection inspired from two elements, namely “frame for shape” and “frame for movement.”
“Frame for shape” is expressed with clothes having many layers of linear, geometric designs and square patterns that represent building structures. “Frame for movement” is expressed with clothes that use the energy of human body rationally, like a movement performed by karate masters who adopt poses that can optimize the human body’s flow.
We focus on the beauty inherent in these “frames,” and pursue the relationship between body and clothes to make new suggestions which combine function and beauty.

* KABUKI-MONO *

The AUTUMN WINTER 2009 collection’s theme chosen by matohu is “kabuki-mono.”
The collection is based on the idea that “’kabuku (inclined)’ is an unrestricted way of life that breaks the stereotype common sense. It represents the courage not to be afraid of having a style different from others, and the preparedness to stake one’s life on every moment one spends.”
The true value of “kabuki-mono” is to enjoy the unexpected turn of events. That is why this collection betrays the conventional association of “kabuki-mono = vivid and flashy image,” and intentionally expresses a stoic “kabuki-mono” using for all its clothes the black color, with some dark blue added, as base tone. The courage to dare having a life different from others, the strong emotion, and the sense of breathtaking speed of people who are referred to as “kabuki-mono,” are expressed in this varied palette of black colors.
