Style
M/M were initially influenced by post punk aesthetics as well as the strict Swiss school of graphic design and the more emotional and sensitive Polish school. Although highly visual, expressive and fashionable, they have an intellectual approach to design. M/M’s most well known designs are handdrawn; illustrative and expressive, often applied at, and integrated in, photographs (so called dessin dans l’image, or "drawings in the picture"); first introduced to the public in the Yohji Yamamoto Spring/Summer 1999 catalogue.

In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“I would observe to you that what is called style in writing or speaking is formed very early in life while the imagination is warm, and impressions are permanent.”
