shizukanaotoko · #1 23rd October 2009, 11:05 AM

i had heard that there was a MTRLG store in the 109 in shibuya so i tried to look it for the past summer and couldn't find it... did ayu cease production for her clothing brand? why? what happened?

If I remember correctly, it wasn't HER brand. She was just advertising for it.

oohh i know that brand...i think it already closed..
but .is that one of the expensive brand in 109?

I thought it was hers :S

she used it a lot during 2001~2003 I think.

No, MTRLG isn't Ayu's brand.
Ayu was just designing for the brand and had a few collections.

Ohh I see u.u I wished it was hers lol anyway, too bad if this brand is over(?) maybe they had to close a few places, but still running??

^ Probably the case...
But Ayu's done this many a time, like she's done it for Puma, MTRLG and now Team Message.

For the record: Puma FTW.

oh wow, i never knew it was a brand, i thought "Team Message" was like one of her slogans or something

ownsarai · #11 23rd October 2009, 11:48 PM

^Yea Team Message is a brand. Someone had posted their website on the forum not too long ago.

Yarumi · #12 23rd October 2009, 11:55 PM

so was MTRLG a section of some other brand? I remember when she started it... I loved the website! I always wanted some of the things.. They also had MTRLB on her website as well

AyUta · #13 24th October 2009, 05:14 AM

oh, i thought it was her brand all along.

Delirium-Zer0 · #14 24th October 2009, 06:45 AM

MTRLG got bought out by another company awhile back. I forget which one it was...

SunshineSlayer · #15 24th October 2009, 06:49 AM

Last time I went to Shibuya 109 it was still there though. Fourth or fifth floor. So if it closed, it would have been pretty recent. (sometime within the last 5 months or so)

asmAyumi1992 · #16 24th October 2009, 09:54 AM

I think MTRLG was changing into other name. But I don't remember the new name.

MTRLG is not Ayu's own.

**Calico** · #17 24th October 2009, 10:25 AM

I was in 109 just this past May and didn't see it...I would've totally freaked out. =P

Delirium-Zer0 · #18 24th October 2009, 10:39 PM

So it looks like it was HeavenarK who bought out Material Girl, but their website isn't working anymore right now so I don't have any other info on them (or if they're still around).

mimika · #19 25th October 2009, 08:36 AM

I went to 109 last summer as well and it was already gone

I don't think Heavenark is around anymore

Though I'm glad I went to Japan in 05 and got a MTRLG tank top! Just like the ones ayu used to wear all the time

SunshineSlayer · #20 25th October 2009, 08:41 AM

^ I could've sworn it was still there last time I went - or maybe it's that heavenark that is in its spot now?

I also luckily had already gotten a few MTRLG tops.
