-I see that you are using the Arc'teryx ski pants for town use. The vivid colors look great.
Giesen: Arcteryx has a strong outdoor image, but I think they are also cute to wear around town. The color of these pants is flashy, so I tried to keep the rest of the outfit simple and calm, adding just a few accessories.
-What is your favorite point?
Giesen: Love the silhouette and coloring. The silhouette is straight, but I wear a men's size S, which is a little big. The other day, a handsome man complimented me, saying, "I like your jeans, they're from Arc Communications.
-Do you often do styling that plays with color?
Giesen: I like neutral colors, but I have quite a lot of colorful things in my closet. I probably don't wear all black all the time.
-Arc'teryx has many colorful items, so I think they will fit in with Ms. Giesen's style.
Giesen: That's right. I am half-Canadian and half-Japanese, and when I went back to Canada, I visited an Arc'teryx store, and it is true that they have a wide variety of colors, including many flashy colors. I also like to wear nylon material, hiking shoes, and other active outfits that make me feel as if I can go to the mountains without changing. This brand fits perfectly with that kind of style.
-I think Arc'teryx is a Canadian brand, so it must be widely known in the local market.
Giesen: I was impressed by the simple but unique outfits that everyone was wearing on the streets. I was particularly impressed by a person wearing a tight top with an Arc'teryx hair band. I have an orange knit hat myself, and seeing that made me want to get a hair band as well. I wanted to use accessories to accentuate simple outfits.
-By the way, Mr. Giesen, you climb mountains often, don't you? These ski pants are GORE-TEX, so they will work well for winter mountaineering.
Giesen: Just the other day, I went to the snowy mountains. I wore these ski pants on that trip, and it was a great decision. They kept out the wind and the snow from getting in through the hems, so I was able to spend a comfortable time. I was reminded once again that Arc'teryx is as good as it gets.
-When you wear it in town, of course, but also in the outdoors, you can feel its functionality even more.
Giesen: Nothing beats GORE-TEX (laughs). When you are climbing a mountain, it is cold before sunrise, but once you start climbing, you sweat even in winter, and it soon gets hot. GORE-TEX is very good for mountain climbing, where the environment can easily change. Moreover, Arc'teryx products look sophisticated and are reliable both in the mountains and in town.
