Effortless style proposed by Yuta Kaji. VOL.2 YU (I Don't Like Mondays.)

HAWKINS, named after its founder George Thomas Hawkins, was born in London in the 19th century. With its roots in the manufacture of military and work boots, Hawkins is widely known around the world for its durable and practical footwear. After the explosive popularity of the "Traveler Series" in Japan in the 1990s, the brand is now once again attracting attention amid a trend of reissue and reevaluation. The new "Liam Series" is a modern update of the spirit of such a brand. Combining the presence of classic work boots with functionality such as waterproofing and cushioning, it has emerged as a new standard that accompanies you in your daily life. So, for this issue, stylist Yuta Kaji, who proposes fashion with an effortless sense of style, expressed the appeal of these boots through his own filter. The guest model for the second issue is YU from the rock band "I Don't Like Mondays.

Style 04. the coexistence of rock-inspired leather gloss and ruggedness.

The leather jacket with pants in the same color as the jacket is a very convincing style. People tend to think that leather pants are a bit difficult to wear, but if you use the right silhouette and color, it is surprisingly easy to incorporate them into your everyday styling.

The last coordinate is a style that reflects the urban, glossy atmosphere of YU, the vocalist of "I Don't Like Mondays. It has a rock-star look that is both glossy and rugged.

For the feet, we selected the trendy "Liam Moc" from the "Liam Series. The rounded upper adds an accent to the sharply coordinated look.

Leather pants and long sleeve shirts tend to give a sharp impression, so I dared to match rounded liam mocs on the feet. I thought this coordination would definitely suit YU, but it actually exceeded my imagination. It is a look that fits perfectly with my current mood, so I would like to encourage both men and women to give it a try.
