matplotlib 2.2.3 and menpo are conflicting

conda create -n test menpo matplotlib=2.2.3
Solving environment: ...working... failed

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
  - matplotlib=2.2.3
  - menpo
Use "conda info <package>" to see the dependencies for each package.

The conflict comes from pillow 5. Matplotlib 2.2.3 because of using freetype 2.9 forces pillow 5 to be installed but menpo needs pillow < 5?
