An Experimental Collection Questioning "What is the Expression of Clothing?"

In a previous interview, Yui Mochizuki commented, "Based on the rock spirit I feel, I want to explore what realistically emerges when I translate fashion, with which I've been involved as a stylist and brand director, along with art, culture, and music that have inspired me, into clothing."

For the Autumn/Winter 2012-13 collection, the brand expresses two polar styles, "PUNK" and "NARD," by using the same items and adding coordination and details. Each item, endowed with rich expressive power, becomes a means of expression and individuality for the wearer.

Additionally, this collection features a new denim line named "Denims by HOWL," as well as items that broaden the scope of styling expression, such as hats created in collaboration with the hat brand "CA4LA."
