Malice Mizer Is Coming Soon!

June 16, 2005

Since mid-2004 people have been requesting that we make this coat from the music video "Beast of Blood" by the Jrock band, "Malice Mizer". At first, we didn't know if it was worth pursuing, there were only a few people requesting it, the band itself was no more, and we already had a lot of projects ahead of it. However, the fans were persistent, they contacted other Malice Mizer fans and the demand increased. Perhaps there was some merit to this design.

Still, we weren't ready to commit. Rather than make promises before we were ready, we decided to tease everyone mercilessly that we weren't going to make it! ^_^ Regular readers may recall the joke article, What's a Malice Mizer? that we ran in August 2004. For a while, it looked like we might never make this design. In April 2005, we announced that it was going to be one of the next upcoming designs to become a "Coming Soon" product. This confirmed everyone's suspicions that all our teasing was just for fun.

The time to make the AbbyShot Malice Mizer an official "Coming Soon" product is now! In fact, we've been secretly working on it for a little while. We have some preliminary work done on the pattern and we've acquired a medium-weight suiting fabric that we feel will make a perfect Malice Mizer coat! Our next step is to make the first prototype and see if the fabric works for this design. At this stage, we don't have a release date. Of course, as we continue to develop this product we will be revising any estimates and reporting on all design developments as this new project progresses towards completion!
