The HIBU Fall/Winter 2014 collection was presented during the shows at PortugalFashion. Inspired by the culture and imagery of witchcraft, the runway show mixed draped constructions with oversized silhouettes.
The mysterious menswear line was presented in a palette of mostly black tones along with one white ensemble that evoked an ethereal quality. In addition to it's witchcraft inspired garments, the HIBU Fall/Winter 2014 collection featured the return of ultra-thick eyebrow looks that resembled those seen in Japanese anime cartoons.
The runway show featured a mix of hard and structured fabrics that were juxtaposed with light and flowing ones. The result was a series of draped and dramatic pieces ranging from long tees and androgynous tunics to boxy coats and collared shirts that appeared more masculine.
