Paris for the 10th time.

I am writing this manuscript in a hotel in Paris. I have traveled to France for every collection, and this was the 10th time. I would like to say that I am used to it by now, but there are always small problems. However, I have become good enough to be able to laugh them off.

agnès b.

Suede blouson by agnes b.

The dark blue color is also good.

There comes a time when I am regularly drawn to leather goods, and this season I loved this one by far. This suede blouson with cute buttons on the front is reminiscent of the classic "agnès b." cardigan passion. I think French fashion is diverse in a good sense, with different styles and styles coming to mind for different people, but this piece definitely has a rich French aroma. It would be a great feeling to walk around the cobblestone streets of Paris wearing this dress, I thought to myself as I was on my way to cover the Paris Collection. But unfortunately, this gem is not available in Japan. If you are interested in it, please contactBuy from an international storeThe following is a list of the products that can be purchased in Japan.

Loro Piana

Loro Piana cashmere scarf

Wearing the first class.

Last year in "AH.H.Article by Loro PianaI was given the opportunity to create a new product, and this is one of the items I obtained during that time. The name of "King of Cashmere" is not a mere expression, and it is a first-class product with a truly wonderful texture and feel. The brand calls it a scarf, but it is actually about the size of a scarf, and because the material is of the highest quality, even if you wrap it loosely and roughly, it will look elegant on its own. For a detailed explanation of the brand, please read "AH.H." I think it is a very good deal to be able to enjoy a brand that uses top of the line cashmere, baby cashmere, vicuna, wool, etc. at this price. We are also offering an embroidery service.

Sporty & Rich

Sporty and rich sweatshirt

Anyway, it is stylish.

Sporty and Rich is a brand that I was really into for a while. The sophisticated logo and typography were really cool, and the brand's visuals andInstallations as mood boardsIt was stylish in every way. After acquiring a few items, my own personal boom had settled down for a time, but my hands stopped when I saw this sweatshirt I discovered when I wandered into the Shibuya store of "Wism". It is a half-zip sweatshirt made of a rather sturdy American cotton, and has an extremely boxy form with a generous width and a rather short length. The one we chose this time was navy with an emblem, but there are other variations, so please check out the store.

cote & ciel

Côte-et-Ciel Bags

High-quality techie feel.

The distinctive backpacks of Côte-et-Ciel are also very attractive, but I believe that their ergonomic design philosophy is best utilized in small-sized bags such as this. The sling bag was inspired by the breastplate worn during traditional horseback archery. It is an item with a very strong character, and when worn on the body, even with very simple clothing, it becomes a fashionable item. Even during the fall and winter season, when most people tend to wear monotone, the bag's unique color will shine through.

Moriya Half Marathon

Come to think of it, I haven't run a half marathon for a long time. That's tough, isn't it? I just end up working too hard. We will all stay at my parents' house, and the next day, I will challenge the 21.0975-km race while battling a hangover. I don't know what will happen.

BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB x FIRST DOWN

Billionaire Boys Club x First Down Down Cap

Warm and graphical.

I wear a hat almost every day. I try to keep my appearance neat and tidy with a hat because it looks shabby with my long unkempt hair. I try to keep my appearance in order by wearing a hat. In addition, when it is this cold, warmth is also an important factor in choosing a hat. That's why I chose a down cap based on the "Bubble Down Jacket," a famous item from First Down. It uses 700 fill power down with excellent heat retention properties, and the outer fabric is made of Mycroft® with excellent waterproof and moisture permeability properties. It is wrinkle-resistant and compact, so it can be used on a daily basis as well as carried to the mountains. Incidentally, this is a collaboration version with "Billionaire Boys Club. The timeless graphics on this bag tickle my appetite.

Mountain Hardwear

Mountain Hardwear Air Mesh Hoodie

A winter intermediate garment with all three features.

When you run you sweat, but when you stop you are cold. Winter running is difficult to layer. What you want is something that allows you to smoothly regulate your body temperature without having to repeatedly take it off and put it back on. The Air Mesh Hoody from Mountain Hardwear is the perfect solution to this problem. It is made of lightweight, sweat-absorbent, quick-drying Teijin Octa and weighs only 83g (size M). Moreover, the air layer in the back of the hoody keeps you warm, and the ventilated mesh fabrication allows for excellent breathability. If you want, you can feel a little cool and ventilated. Furthermore, the cuffs have thumbholes to warmly cover the back of the hands. Warm, breathable, and extremely lightweight. This is truly a middle layer that is easy to use and has all the trifecta. It will be in heavy rotation until we feel the arrival of spring.

Calimar Cap

I like the way it looks and functions.

In cold winters, I often wear caps with ear pads. Not only is it warm, but it simply looks cute, doesn't it? Both when they are hanging down and when they are folded up and stored away. It's a kind of fashionable playfulness that is possible during the cold season. That's why I've been digging up things like the down caps I mentioned earlier. This winter cap from Karimar is one such item that I found. The outer fabric is made of windproof nylon and is treated to repel water, so it can withstand a little rain without difficulty. The earpieces are made of a medium-thick fleece that provides warmth, and the buckles included allow you to adjust the size and fix the earpieces in place. The simple design is also attractive, with features that can be used in the mountains but also fit in well on the street. What is troubling is that there are three color variations. Personally, I think I prefer beige.

TELIC

Terric quilted boots

Winter racing partner.

Basically, I wear sandals before and after the race. Sometimes they are simple flip-flops, sometimes they are so-called recovery sandals. They are an indispensable piece of gear to make traveling before and after the race comfortable. However, sandals are cold in the middle of winter during the road race season. You need something that is easy to put on and take off, gentle on your feet, and still warm. To meet this need, we introduce quilted boots by Terric, a company that offers recovery sandals arranged to fit Japanese people's feet. The sole is made of an original EVA blend for lightweight comfort with excellent cushioning. In addition to the rocking chair-like shape, the boots are equipped with a rubber outsole, which efficiently supports natural weight transfer while also providing a solid grip. What's more, the quilted interior is matched with a boa fabric, which is great for beating the cold. I would like to have a pair as a partner for winter races.

Yosuke Ishii

Overseas for a long time.

I was surprised at the size of Istanbul Airport when I visited there for transit. The duty-free store area, where many famous brands from various countries are lined up, was a highlight, and it was better stocked than most department stores. However, I ended up buying only a snow globe.... Well, that's just the way it is.

NEEDLES.

Needles Tracksuits

Wearing a star.

As usual, we start with a tracksuit from "Needles" at the beginning of the season. I have been buying a few of these suits each season, and they are a big staple for me. I chose the star pattern from the many colors and patterns shown here. I couldn't help but pick up this flashy piece that reminds me of the stars and stripes. This season's Needles collection is rich in items reminiscent of America and Elvis in the 1950s, and this pattern also projects the glamorous image of America's golden age. With the Fifties in mind, I think it would be better to match it with an open collar shirt or a Nassau jacket. On the other hand, I personally feel that it has a Peter Max-like nuance, so it might be good to incorporate it into a psychedelic look. I think it might be good to incorporate it into a psychedelic style. For its strong appearance, it seems to have a surprisingly wide range of possibilities.

EARLY WINTERS

Early Winters Photographer's Jacket

A gem for connoisseurs.

Last year, I heard the news that Early Winters, a company that produced high quality outdoor products from the 70s to the 80s, was to reissue its products under its own name. I wondered what they would release for the first time, thinking it would be a standard mountain parka, but it turned out to be the "Photographer's Jacket," a jacket in the tradition of the safari style popular in the 1980s and known as a hidden masterpiece even among vintage clothing enthusiasts. It features a film pocket on the chest and a tripod pocket on the back, and has detail work that is not found in the fishing and hunting category, which also offers pocketful clothing. Other interesting features include detachable arms. I like this kind of items and used to wear them a lot in the past, so I decided to feature them in this issue because of nostalgia and joy. It looks good as fishing clothes.

Turtlenecks on dresses

It's snooty and dusty. But that's good!

I have a tendency to repeat things that I like over and over again. I'm really into turtlenecks by Dresses.Previously introducedI'll skip the wonderfulness of the stripes, but I thought I'd add the border pattern you see here to my collection this season. The fine-pitched borders and color schemes that seem to be found in American store brands and mass-market casual brands are very nice and unselfish. When you look for a border like this, you really can't find it. I have recently been interested in earth colors and dusty tones, so it matched my own tension perfectly. It would be good to insert it as an inner layer of the photografer jacket or khaki hunting jacket I mentioned earlier. Just layer the earth colors on top, and with denim pants and work boots, a heavy-duty safari look is ready to go.

HOKA

Hoka's SPEEDGOAT 5 GTX

What else can replace Hoca?

In January, I visited Paris Fashion Week on my first overseas business trip since the Corona disaster. I used to wear them a little bit until about 4 or 5 years ago, but with the recent boom, I have honestly been hesitant to wear them recently. I have to admit that I hesitated to wear them recently because of the boom in the market. But when I looked at them again, I realized that they are really cool. The stylish design is not at all dowdy, even with thick soles, and the color palette is cool and urban. Needless to say, they are comfortable to wear, and no matter how many steps you take, they will never let you down. They are the perfect partner for a day of walking, and they offer unparalleled performance. The SPEEDGOAT 5 GTX, shown in the photo, has a GORE-TEX upper and Vibram sole, so it can handle rain and snow with ease. I'm reminded again that good things are good things. I've come full circle, and now I'm really interested in "Hoka" again.

Engine at full throttle.

The New Year vacations passed in the blink of an eye. Without time to bask in the afterglow of the holiday, I have been working at full throttle since the beginning of the year. Before I know it, it is already late January. I should value my time more.

LACOSTE

Lacoste Hoodie

Spring, come on.

The clothes I want right now are hoodies. Crew-neck sweatshirts are fine, but due to the cold weather, the area around the neck is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cold and not enough. On the other hand, a hoodie covers my head in case of emergency, so I don't have to worry (laughs). Compared to the past, I feel that hoodies themselves have become more commonplace, and people don't look at me strangely when I wear a hood on the street. This is just my personal opinion. This time, among the many hoodies available, I picked up a new one from Lacoste. As you can see, the three different patches on the left chest are extremely cute, don't you think? The retro design, which seems to have been inspired by the archives, is very stylish. The navy body makes it perfect for wearing with jeans or even casual slacks. Although the arrival of spring is still some time away, this is the perfect piece to be the star of the show from now on.

adidas Originals

Adidas Originals Sneakers

A masterpiece, again.

The sneakers I used to wear most often were Stan Smiths. Of course, I loved the standard color with the white upper, but I was especially fond of the all-black model that was available exclusively at ABC-MART. I think I mentioned them here on "Shopping Addict" about 7 or 8 years ago, so I googled them and found them.Here's the article (laughs). These memorable sneakers have now been joined by the new "Stan Smith Lux". The details and design remain the same, but the upper is made of a luxurious material. The soft lining is also a key point that makes them comfortable for your feet. Today, I am thinking of trying "Stan Smiths" for the first time in a while. This is the perfect footwear for early spring.

RIMOWA

Rimowa suitcases

Second time in the U.S.

In early February, I will be going to San Diego, U.S.A. for a photo shoot. This is the second time in my life that I have been to the United States. The first time was also for work, four years ago, in San Francisco and Yosemite. I was particularly impressed by the magnificent scenery in Yosemite, just as I had seen in Stephen Shore's photo book "Uncommon Places. The strong sunlight and cool air, which is different from Japan, added to the indescribable mood I was in. My fashion itself was strongly influenced by American culture from my late teens to my twenties, and even now, I have a tendency to look at clothing with favor just because it has "Made in the USA" on the tag (laughs). Just the thought of visiting such a place again is enough to make me excited, but preparation is important for this trip as well. One of the key points is the suitcase. In terms of luggage storage and ease of transport, Rimowa's lightest series "Essential Light" suitcases seem to be extremely easy to use. Among them, the new ivory color has no peculiarities and can be taken to any place. If I were to buy one, I think I would like the largest size, the "Check-in L".

PUEBCO

Puebco's "colocollo."

Ten years of commercialization conception.

An indispensable item for clothing lovers is the "corocoro." Do you know the official name for this? I thought about it for a while, but couldn't come up with anything, so I googled it and found the words "dust remover" and "clothes cleaner. Some of the products were named "Korokoro" as they are (laugh). I guess it is "Korokoro," after all. And this "Korokoro" from Puebco has a very modern design, don't you think? The steel handle is especially stylish and beautiful! And the stand type is designed to prevent the adhesive tape from sticking to the wall or floor when stored. In fact, it took about 10 years from conception to commercialization. The adhesive tape is held in from both sides and can be removed by pulling it outward, but it was very difficult to get the right balance of not too loose and not too hard. The appearance of the tape doesn't give the slightest hint of the hard work that went into it (laughs). The original adhesive tape is included. After using this tape, you can match it with other common materials, so don't worry.

Yusuke Suzuki

Last in the 30s.

I celebrated my birthday last week, and I would first like to thank my parents for bringing me up so healthy. Last year was a year in which quite a lot happened, so this year, my last year in my 30s, I want to spend it as leisurely and peaceful as possible.

CABARET POVAL

Cabaret POVAL crew neck sweatshirt

The mania of UK-loving skaters.

When I suddenly felt like wearing a plain crewneck sweatshirt, I flashed back to the memory of reading a notebook written by Yuya of "Cabaret POVAL" about a year ago. The crewneck sweatshirt that Yuya wrote about in detail in the note was a model released in the previous season named "Alpha", and this "Wardroom" is a derivative model of the "Alpha". The "Wardroom" is a derivative of the "Alpha". Gray? Beige? The back, shoulder, and sleeve cut-outs give it a military coat-like feel, and the width of the body, while not being too wide, makes me, as an older adult, very happy. Yuya's clothes have an authentic UK feel, of course, but they also have an Americanized UK look, a skater-like corner-picking, a "almost no one will notice that..." kind of craftsmanship, and a maniacal attention to detail. I personally really like the maniacal attention to detail and craftsmanship.

JEVA

Jeva's Salameh/Repetition 7inc EP

Celebrate! EP release & TV appearance.

I first became acquainted with rapper JEVA around 2017, when his album titled "Jun Ito," which is his real name, was released. I met him when I was allowed to visit Mie Prefecture for an interview for a magazine I was working on at the time. Personally, what I like most about JEVA is that he raps about his own life in his own words. I think it is important to rap about one's life in one's own words in any environment, whether it is saggy, flirtatious, or whatever, so I was particularly moved when I heard "RAP" from "Jun Ito" at a live performance. A 7-inch EP featuring "Sarameshi," a song synonymous with JEVA, and "Repetition," a new song, has been released. Last October, the real (?) When JEVA appeared on NHK's "Sarameshi," narrated by Nakai Kiichi, I was so happy that I immediately sent a line to him, and I think his appearance on "Sarameshi" is a form of HIP HOP dream, I hope that JEVA's rap music will reach more people.

172

172 knit hat

Nice to meet you from Instagram.

One Sunday night, I was sitting on the sofa browsing through Instagram when my hand stopped on a post by Shun, who works at "The Apartment" in Kichijoji, Tokyo. He was introducing a knitwear brand called "172," and all of their hats had a unique hand-knit feel to them, especially the one in the shape and color that Shun was wearing as a model. It said they would be available in the brand's online store in a few days, so I immediately set an alert for that date and time. I was able to successfully purchase it later that day. I have never met the owner of "172," but it seems that the brand is made by a woman who makes each and every item by herself. I hope to meet her someday and thank her for her kindness. Of course, brands and manufacturers with name value are great, but it would be tasteless to just wear all of them. If you throw away all the brand names, what's left for you? I remember Kendrick Lamar RAPing about this.

Stroll

Stroll napkins

Stash it in your right back pocket.

My mother was born and raised in Shinjuku City, so when I was a child, I used to go to Shinjuku Gyoen and Kanda River to see cherry blossoms in spring, Hanazono Shrine's night festival in summer, and Suwa Shrine, which we called "Suwa-sama" in the New Year, for the first time. Stroll, which opened on June 10, 2022, is a café located in Bunkyo-ku, adjacent to Shinjuku-ku. The peaceful atmosphere of the Kanda River flowing nearby is similar to the Shinjuku Ward I know. I ordered a delicious coffee, a hot dog, and a sandwich, and spent a leisurely time there. One of the pleasures of a store run by a private individual is the original merchandising items that seem to reflect the owner's tastes and interests. The Stroll napkins are made of linen, which dries quickly and is hygienic, and were commissioned from bag brand Tembea. The blue color, my personal favorite, is very impressive, and I use it as a handkerchief. I use it as a handkerchief, and it is always in its place in the right back pocket of my pants.
