Watches are similar to art in some ways.
What kind of culture influences your own sense of fashion?
Target area:. I like clothes that are related to music and art. The sweatshirt I am wearing right now is from a farm owned by a New York artist named Dan Colen. . I also like band T-shirts because I want to wear T-shirts of my favorite bands.
I sympathize with artists and musicians. You express these feelings through fashion.
Target area:For me, I think the story is important, and the feeling of "I like" contains my own emotions. Such feelings are personal, and I incorporate them into my fashion as a way of self-expression.
Do you have any other influences besides fashion, such as art or music?
Target area:Yes, I do. I believe that art, in particular, has something in common with vintage clothing. It is not as if there is a price for art. The same is true of vintage clothing, and prices are constantly fluctuating. It is not expensive because it is old, nor is it expensive because it is intricate. In the end, it is the human being who determines the value, but I am attracted to pieces that have value other than just price.
. I believe that watches are similar to art, and that expensive is not necessarily better. It is not easy to find a watch that suits you, and I think that is why the story is so important.
Offshore opened in 2017. The store features brands such as Diaspora Skateboards, Wacomaria, Flagstaff, and Fingalin, as well as archival pieces from Martin Margiela's time at Hermès.
Do you usually wear a watch?
Target area:I'm talking like this, but the truth is I don't wear one (laughs). I don't think there is anything I like, and I think watches that cost hundreds of thousands or millions of yen are cool, but I don't think I am ready to wear them on my wrist.
I think that when you find a bottle that fits you, including these thoughts, a story will be told.
Target area:Yes . If I were to wear a watch on my wrist, I would prefer a simple watch. I don't wear watches because they are expensive. So when I tried on the TISSOT PRX Quartz, I thought it was a nice watch.
