Spot On : Julius

Menswear label Julius by Japanese designer Tatsuro Horikawa is in a league on its own. It may have started in 2001, but the label is relatively young and is slowly seeing expansion over the past few years.

Julius has an avant garde, futuristic aesthetic. It started as a black-on-black collection but in the newer collections, colours (however minimal) are starting to surface. I think it's most notable for it's severe deconstructed look. The oversized hoodies and the drapey, flowy cardigans which are so heavy that they can be used as winter outerwear.

This is one of the labels to watch and be fascinated by.

These unaffordable pieces (the cardigan costs more than 1000USD) are merely inspirational.
