Achievement

Renowned as one of the original king’s of collaborators in streetwear, Masaaki Homma went full throttle with partnerships for his labels mastermind and mastermind WORLD in 2019. The past 12 months saw some very hard-to-ignore collaborations and it all started in January with iconic Japanese fashion label, BAPE. The momentum continued on for Homma as more products were released alongside fellow streetwear and high-fashion heavyweights like KITH, Timberland, Lavenham, Greg Lauren and Suicoke. Homma even released the label’s first eyewear range as well as a bottle of vitamin supplements for a more off-beat offering. Homma has long-been a key fixture in the world of Japanese fashion, and his dark and rebellious aesthetic mixed with his luxe sensibility will continue to endure the test of time for years to come.
