What is your impression of the brand?

I really agree with the brand goal that "All Bars" has set for itself. I think that products made with a "zero carbon footprint" are really wonderful. . I am uncomfortable with the fact that "sustainable" has become a buzzword these days. I think that items from brands like Allbirds that are actually working on environmental issues are very persuasive. The brand's website has detailed descriptions of each item, and I learned a lot from them.

Please tell us what you think of the items when you actually wear them.

I was surprised that the knit was softer than I expected. Also, it's warm enough to keep me warm. The shoes are light and easy to wear , and I like the stalish design of this sole.

What are the key points of coordination?

In winter, the colors of clothes tend to be subdued, so when the outerwear is black, as it is today, I thought I would like to wear an item like this with color on the sleeves.

What is important to you when choosing clothes?

. It's all about how long you can continue to wear it. . It's not about what's in style, but whether or not I can wear it for a lifetime without getting tired of it. I often wear vintage clothes not only because I like the thrill of encountering them in the store, but also because I feel a sense of destiny when I come across clothes that have a history and have remained undiscarded, and I often buy them. . I wear my favorite outfits year after year.

You are the owner of "EF.", an Instagram page that shares your knowledge on environmental issues.

About six months ago, my good model friend SONYA and I started an Instagram "EF. . Through this account, we are sending out information on how to reduce plastic. Rather than saying, "Don't use plastic bottles," we are trying to make positive suggestions, such as, "In addition to plastic bottles, you have the option of carrying your own bottle.

Are there any activities that you do on a more routine basis?

I have changed what I have around me. For example, I use solid soap, and I wash my clothes with magnesium. There is a product called "Laundry Mag-chan," which is very useful because it removes dirt, washes the washing tub, and reduces the amount of plastic waste. I recommend it because it saves money.
