Developed in the brand’s basement atelier in Jingumae, the brand’s headquarters, this piece was created with a focus on using domestic materials and domestic sewing, from fabric selection to design and sewing, and was born from the “voice of the fabric” as its starting point, resulting in experimental trousers that blend seamlessly into everyday life.

The hem features deep pleats in the opposite direction, creating a forced taper that gives the legs a sophisticated look. This further accentuates the three-dimensional nature of these trousers.

To integrate the flashy leopard print into the brand’s worldview, a laser was used to irradiate the pattern onto the finished product after sewing. This contrast, combined with sulfur dyes that fade easily, creates the pattern. After repeated testing, the garment was washed to the point where it looked like it had been worn from a distance, giving it a camouflage-like appearance. Combined with back satin fabric, it expresses a military feel that is characteristic of the brand.

This is due to the designer’s intention to intentionally leave imperfections to convey the warmth of a piece made by many artisans, one by one, and to express the “space” for enjoying fashion. These experimental cargo pants embody what the brand values most: that clothes are complete when the wearer enjoys them, rather than the brand imposing a certain way on them. The designer’s attention to detail is also showcased in a YouTube video The brand’s official YouTube channel is currently streaming a video in which designer Kimura talks about his thoughts on this piece. Along with footage of him wearing the pieces, you can also see the process of how the clothes are “created.” https://img.youtube.com/vi/NkYfUpBKwcU/sddefault.jpg

We carefully tailor high-quality clothing for everyday wear using domestic materials and domestic sewing. Designer Kimura has worked for over 20 years as a member of the product team of an international maison brand that combines high fashion and formal wear since the 1990s. In 2022, he launched his own brand, “LOOPE,” as a designer. Through his many years of experience, he has built strong connections with Japanese fabric stores and sewing factories. He specializes in imagining the changes that can occur through processing and washing, and developing and collaborating with them to create original fabrics. Under the motto “You can’t make good clothes by thinking about the clothes themselves,” we consistently create clothes that start from the fabric. He also has a wealth of knowledge about culture and vintage items. He modernizes the appeal of the
“irrationality” found in vintage clothing and approaches ruggedness through fabrics and threads, creating sophisticated high fashion and formal wear with each piece. mù_ comes from Kimura Ken’s nickname. The nickname had become a part of Kimura without him even realizing it. We chose the brand name to evoke the neutral image of “nothingness,” with the hope that this brand will become a part of your wardrobe, one that you will pick up without even realizing it. Designer Ken Kimura

I felt that clothes had a power to give me freedom and lift my spirits, and before I knew it, I was drawing illustrations of the clothes I wanted to wear. I was particular about the design and colors of the illustrations, but more than that, I had a lot of fun and found it exciting to draw while imagining the fabrics and shapes that you can’t actually see, and this has led to my current dedication to making clothes. While design is of course important, paying attention to the fabric not only improves comfort but also changes the silhouette and form of the finished garment, bringing it even closer to your ideal garment. I’ve tried countless fabrics to date, but the key to choosing one is whether I can imagine the design I want to create. Everything starts with the fabric. In addition, there are many skilled artisans in domestic production areas. However, in recent years, I felt that there were fewer opportunities to see brands that mastered these skills. So, I launched mù_ with the desire to create products that take advantage of the unique characteristics of each production area.
