The CIVILIZED Fall/Winter 2014 collection catalog is a dark and modern take on utilitarianism. The menswear collection features [minimal and elegant tailoring](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/galilee-by-sea) that is juxtaposed with a range of [apocalyptic face mask accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shapes-we-take).

Designer Satoshi Okugawa presents his latest showing in a dark and monochromatic catalog that features raw and high contrast portraits. These portraits reveal intricate tailoring, [weather-proof fabrics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cp-company-2) and wearable cuts that are signature to the Japanese menswear label.

Whether shining a light on fabric-made face masks or face-covering hoods with open eye holes, the CIVILIZED Fall/Winter 2014 lookbook is the opposite of expected. The label's wearable and practical pieces are enhanced with a range of dark accessories that are reminiscent of apocalyptic sci-fi imagery.
