Shinsaibashi PARCO Tour by HOUYHNHNM editorial staff!

Takeda:Actually, I was very interested in this store. They have shirts made by Lutès, a French company that has very few stores in Japan, and shirts made by Japanese bespoke makers. I thought it was a selection that could not be found anywhere else.

Shibayama:I see that there are a lot of secondhand clothes as well. I don't usually wear suits or jackets, so I am not familiar with such stores, but when I see them in a fashion building, I tend to visit them.

Shibayama:Bright colors suit you, don't they? The senior members of the editorial department wear black, gray, or navy, but Takeda-kun often wears a blue knit hat to add a splash of color. As one would expect from .......

Takeda:A little bit! You're messing with me (laughs). On the other hand, Shibayama-kun is usually casual, so I would like to see him wearing something crisp.

Takeda:There are really a lot of special order items.

Takeda:Both stores are so famous that no fashion lover in the Kansai region would be unfamiliar with them. But I am really glad I came. There was a lot of good stuff here. I would like you, our readers, to know about them!

Shibayama:You have long been favored by fashion lovers for your innovative designs and high functionality. The material production is particularly thorough, and I am personally impressed by the garment dye. Recently, the brand has become very popular among the street fashion crowd of our generation.

Takeda:I like Liam Gallagher, and he wears "Stone Island" a lot, so it is one of the brands I admire.

Shibayama:I think it looks cool when I see people wearing it, but the silhouette is tight, so I had avoided it because I thought it wouldn't look good on me, but today was the first time I tried it on.

Takeda:It looks really good on you. It's totally possible!

Shibayama:Really? (Teru).

Takeda:The Compass logo badge makes you want to show it off.

Shibayama:Takeda-kun is good too. He looks like a rapper.

Takeda:It looks great, but when you put it on, it is really easy to move around in, and the elastic drawcord on the edge of the hood and the flap pocket on the chest are also well thought out. And the garment dye works. They say it's hydrogen repellent material with this look.

Shibayama:In terms of fabric quality, I think they are really on the cutting edge. I feel that they are constantly evolving, which is why they have been able to gain support for so long. The brand image has always been cool.

Shibayama:Basically, I use a shoulder bag that is large enough to hold a PC. It doesn't get in the way when I get on the train, and it goes well with my everyday outfit.

Takeda:I carry a backpack on work days. I use a simple design that does not interfere with my coordination. On days off when I don't have much luggage, I often use a small shoulder bag.

Takeda:I think most of them are backpackers, but I also use a satchel when I go around exhibitions or have small meetings.

Shibayama:However, each of us has different tastes in the bags we use and the outfits we wear. There are people of various genres. There is no one who has the same character. There is no one who is a genre or a character.

Takeda:I carry my backpack with the backpack straps tightened so that they are close to my body. It doesn't get in the way when I am running quickly, and above all, it looks sloppy if the backpack straps are too long.

Shibayama:I think of bags as accessories. For example, if the outfit of the day is dark-toned, a colorful bag can add a splash of color. It is an item that broadens the range of my coordination.

Shibayama:It's like a place where beautiful adults go. I feel a little out of touch with myself.

Takeda:I have an image of a wide selection of diffusers and other fragrance-related items, as well as stylish household goods. There is a good selection of imported brands of clothing.

Takeda:It's a little presumptuous of me, but I did that kind of thing. I have always loved that kind of culture.

Takeda:I have always loved Doris. The clothes have power, so just by wearing one piece of clothing, I feel like I am enveloped by Doris as a whole.

Shibayama:That goes well with the monk.

Takeda:Isn't that right?

Shibayama:The slightly masculine look also suits me. The pockets are gusseted, so it looks like it can hold a lot of stuff.

Shibayama:I prefer the overall selection. Men's and women's. And it looks like a good place to choose gifts for women. There are a lot of thoughtful items, and I don't feel nervous at all about going to the women's zone alone with a man.

Takeda:Yes, indeed. And I like that the store is spacious so I can take my time to look at the products.

Takeda:MYKITA has a variety of eyewear designs, so I wanted to try out different styles.

Shibayama:They look unique at first glance, but when I put them on, I found that they fit me surprisingly easily. I don't usually wear eyewear, but I think they look surprisingly good on me.

Takeda:You look totally good! Both sunglasses and glasses look good on you.

Takeda:I'm not exaggerating, it's so light that I didn't even put it on.

Takeda:That kind of detailed work is just like in Germany.

Shibayama:A single eyewear can completely change the look of your face. It is also good for when you want a change of pace or a makeover. I think I'm going to be hooked on eyewear after seeing MYKITA!

Takeda:Even casual wear has a classy, clean image. Also, they have a good selection of suits. The quality of the originals is also high.

Shibayama:Yes, it seems to have everything from dress to casual. It's mature and urban. You can't go wrong if you go to Arrows. I have been shopping there since I was a student myself.

Shibayama:I knew you would try those on. I usually wear a high percentage of coveralls.

Takeda:It's my favorite. This one is also great with the white stitching. The width and length are ideal. When in doubt, I just go for coveralls.

Shibayama:I see it all the time, so it feels right, yes.

Takeda:Shibayama's pants look great on him. They look so good together that they look like they are his own.

Shibayama:I like synthetic fiber pants because they are comfortable. These, created by Mr. Ohana (*Daisuke Ohana, designer of N. Hollywood), are really nice, with a wide silhouette and stretch. When I try them on, they are even better.

Takeda:It's lighter than it looks.

Shibayama:I often go into "United Arrows" casually, but there is always something I want. The sense of stability is outstanding. At Shinsaibashi PARCO, too, I found what I wanted.

Takeda:Maybe I understand a little. It's like meeting someone you never expected to meet. They also keep up with trends, and that's what select stores are all about.

Shibayama:Unlike conventional "The North Face" stores, you have a wide variety of non-performance items. I got the impression that it was more focused on fashion and lifestyle.

Takeda:Indeed. For apparel, they have "The North Face Purple Label," while they also have "Unlimited. There's also a lot of other things to see and do, such as dealing in tableware and crafts.

Shibayama:Recently, the image of fashion has taken precedence because you often see people wearing them on the streets, but the performance line is also of high quality and great quality. Because of the solid background, there is a sense of security and persuasiveness to any line.

Takeda:Shibayama, you have usually preferred tech and outdoor apparel.

Shibayama:Yes, I do. I like to be physically active, and perhaps because I am used to wearing it, I feel most at home in it. It's also nice to be able to wear it without hesitation.

Shibayama:This vest is comfortable to wear. It is lightweight and warm. I thought I would wear it around town, but I would also like to wear it when running or going to the mountains.

Takeda:I used to only look at "The North Face Purple Label," but when I looked closely at the other lines, I realized that they are also very fashionable and can be used for street wear.

Takeda:I actually bought this [MacGregor] drizzler at "Q". The store's selection was really interesting, too, as it was perverse in a good way.

Shibayama:I saw these pants at "United Arrows". I was debating whether or not to buy them until the very end.

Takeda:Personally, I thought the "Stone Island" knitwear looked good on Shibayama. I saw a new side to him.

Shibayama:Takeda also liked the "Porter" mini-bag he saw at the "Porter Exchange.

Takeda:Yes, that one was good, too. Maybe I'll go buy some after this (laughs).
