MONTHLY JOURNAL June. vol.1 GIRLS ISSUE

That girl is a "HOUYHNHNM girl. What you don't know about Riko Narumi yet.

They are casual but sophisticated, and wear vintage clothes with elegance. But they don't look pretentious. On the other hand, I have recently been interested in girls who can talk about movies, music, sports, etc. until the wee hours of the morning. I decided to call them "HOUYHNHNM girls. Riko Narumi, an actor, fits this description perfectly. We knew that she was a music lover, but there were many aspects of her that we did not know. Let's follow a day in the life of Riko Narumi with the "HOUYHNHNM's" styling we envisioned.

VINTEGE SHOP I want to wear something universal for a long time while cherishing it.

An oversized jacket, vintage denim pants, and "Converse" All-Stars are a permanent look. The shirt adds a slight twist. Whether it is Princess Diana or the Winona Ryder of the past, this simple style suits women who have established themselves.

Hearing that Ms. Narumi likes vintage clothes, we visited a vintage store in Tokyo. The denim pants she is wearing are her personal vintage "Levi's" 606, an early model that was introduced for the fashion industry and is a rare pair with only a few pairs left. It seems that she likes vintage clothes more than we imagined.

I've loved vintage clothing since I was about 20 years old, and I wear it a lot. I found these pants about two years ago. I really like 606s because I feel like they fit my legs, and I like them so much that I have repaired them many times. My favorite style is to wear 606s with a T-shirt and loafers. I like to set my own standard, so I wear denim from Levi's, shoes from John Lobb, and T-shirts from Sunspel. People say, "You look like a boy. (Laughs.) But it's my own obsession.

It is precisely in items that can be considered staples that one should pursue one's own particular style. The best time to wear "Converse" All-Stars is when the canvas color has faded to a worn-out look.

Ms. Narumi wears vintage sneakers with elegance, but in her private life, she is an unrivaled John Lobb fanatic, owning six or seven pairs.

I think John Robb loafers are an indispensable item in my wardrobe," he says. I wear them even when I am on location for a shoot or deep in the mountains (laughs). (Laughs) I don't want to lose my routine or my style at any time.

He searches for My Standard and sticks to his routine no matter what the place or time. His rational attitude is somewhat reminiscent of Steve Jobs. He is a man who pursues what he loves to the end, and sometimes digs for T-shirts at thrift stores or on the Internet. This Woody Allen T-shirt is also part of Narumi's collection.

It's rare to see a T-shirt with the filmmaker himself printed on it," he said. I bought this one on impulse. I have quite a few other T-shirts, mostly band T-shirts. Recently, I have been looking for a TRF T-shirt because I am into Tetsuya Komuro and the TK sound again (laughs). But I can't seem to find any."

Then I fell in love at first sight with a "Lost in Translation" T-shirt I found at this thrift store. As soon as I tried it on, I had a big smile on my face and decided to buy it. and with a big smile on my face, I immediately decided to buy it. I have not the slightest hesitation in saying "I love it.

I like things that are neat and beautiful. In terms of materials, I like cashmere and silk. When I was younger, I might have worn what I wanted to wear at the time, but now I like universal clothes that have a beauty that will never change. I want to cherish such clothes and wear them for a long time. I would like to do the same with the T-shirts I mentioned earlier.
