Nude:mm Homme Spring/Summer 2014

Nude:mm is a line out of Japan. What I enjoy about the design and pieces is the easiness of it all: it's simplistic, natural, yet modern and edgy. Actually, I think another thing going for Nude's S/S 2014 collection is a balance between light and darkness; it's something to accomplish an airy AND deep quality to a piece, and that feat has been met here by designer Masahiko Maruyama.

NudeMM Fall/Winter 2013

Masahiko Maruyama's NudeMM Fall/Winter 2013 collection offers a great array of shapes and volume, and also a little bit of texture. There is something about the way these pieces rest that help give a sense of character to what might otherwise be dull pieces--but these pieces are not dull at all; there's something hidden in the lines, something understated, yet pretty deep. I get a touch of the nomad, with a touch of the philosopher, and a hint of the Middle East. See for yourself HERE on ThisHeartsOnFire.
