Moi-même-Moitié is the Gothic Lolita fashion label of Mana, the co-founder and former guitarist of the Visual Kei rock music band Malice Mizer and founder and lead guitarist of Moi Dix Mois. It was founded in 1999 and features the specific styles of Elegant Gothic Lolita, which blends the innocence and cuteness of the Lolita fashion with the darkness and mystery of Gothic fashion, and Elegant Gothic Aristocrat.
The label's name is a portmanteau of the French words "moi-même" (myself) and "moitié" (half), although the expression "moi-même-moitié" does not exist in French. It could also be interpreted as "my own part" or "my own space".
Moi-même-Moitié's clothing is characterised by the use of customised materials and couture-like construction. The brand's logo is a candlestick, which often appears as a design detail, for example as embroidery or on buttons, lace and jewellery. Other frequently used motifs are crosses, roses (with thorns), Gothic architecture and bat wings. The designs are most commonly black, white, grey and deep blue.Red and Gold is introduced in some designs. Lace is also sometimes used while jewelry prototypes are handmade in Moi-même-Moitié atelier.
Moi-même-Moitié has branches in Tokyo and Hiroshima and also offers online ordering for both domestic and international customers via CDJapan and since Autumn 2017 also, via Wunderwelt, after notifying customers regarding business transferring to Tanaqro.
