Boundary-Pushing Bold Menswear Lines

Midorikawa Challenges the Conventions of Traditional Menswear

Midorikawa – a contemporary fashion label that is based in Japan, is launching a bold menswear collection for the Spring/Summer 2020 season that openly challenges the conventions of the category. The color palette is predominantly beige, black, and even pink. In addition, Midorikawa also includes some playful patterns – from floral motifs to polka dots.

The bold menswear collection is said to have a “unique expression” and its true – from the beige hip-length lightweight outerwear that is complete with pockets and a massive hole in the back to playful and tailored polka dot pants.

In addition, the Spring/Summer 2020 bold menswear collection by Midorikawa is completed with a collaboration with Shin Murayama’s TWONESS NY project.
