This April, a new sunglass brand "JINS&SUN" debuted from "JINS". Their goal is to democratize sunglasses. The brand has appointed NIGO®, one of Japan's leading designers, as its creative director, and proposes sunglasses that suit each individual's lifestyle. We asked 10 people active in various fields to try on a wide variety of sunglasses. We will introduce you to the charm of "GINS & SUN" along with samples of styles that are full of individuality.

What do you usually look for in a pair of sunglasses?

When I put on a pair of sunglasses, it depends on whether they fit my face or not. I actually tried on many pairs of Zins and Sun sunglasses, and I chose the ones I thought "This is it! I chose the ones that I thought "This is it!

What is your favorite style of fashion?

I like clothes that are easy to move in. I also have in mind that I want to wear clothes of people I like. I often wear items from brands that I am related to or have a connection with.

Please tell us what makes you unique.

I have nothing but my individuality (laughs). I am a public figure, so I don't want to look or dress normal.

How did you feel about the sunglasses you wore today?

Otsu:I like the dandy look. It looks very mature when I put it on.

Awaji:They are well made and have a luxurious feel. And yet it was sold at such an affordable price, as one would expect from Jin's and Sun!

What are your favorite fashion tastes?

Otsu:Recently, I like items that are simple but made of high quality materials. I am conscious of dressing in a way that looks decent.

Awaji:I like vintage clothes. I like the feeling that I am the only one wearing these clothes in this day and age. I often buy from secondhand clothing stores.

Do you have any good things to say about your love of fashion?

Otsu:Is it when you become more aware of the details? As I became more particular about the way I looked, I became more conscious about my life, and perhaps because of this, I became more meticulous than before. I feel that this has had a positive effect on me.

Awaji:I had a coronary disaster that reduced my outings and made me look and dress appropriately. Then, everything in my daily life became sloppy. At that time, I realized how important it is to be stylish.

What does eyewear mean to you?

For me, it is now part of my face (laughs). (Laughs) It is such an indispensable item for my fashion.

What is your usual style?

I believe that there is always an original source for things, like sampling in music, and I value such basic and cool things. That is why I like items that are not affected by trends, even in fashion.

What are your favorite fashion tastes?

I often wear clothes of core brands because I don't want to wear the same clothes as others. Corona DisasterI used to travel around the country for live performances, and I would look for my own unique piece of clothing by digging through records and vintage clothing wherever I went.

How did you feel about the sunglasses you wore this time?

Since it is a sports model, it seemed to me that it excelled in functionality, such as lightness and comfort of wear. The styling was quite mode, but it matched it well and looked cool.

What do you look for when choosing sunglasses?

I simply choose shapes, colors, and designs that I don't currently own. As with fashion, I always want to challenge new styles! I have a strong desire to always try new styles.

What does fashion mean to you?

They are a source of spiritual support. Clothing has a great impact on my inner as well as outer appearance. It makes me feel more positive, so it always helps me.

What did you think of the Zins and Son sunglasses?

With such a wide variety of sunglasses, I think it would be easy to match them to any person and any styling. Today's sunglasses were also easy to wear, perhaps because they were similar in shape to the ones I usually use!

Do you have a favorite taste in fashion?

I don't have anything in particular, but since I was originally in a band, music is probably the base. It was music that made me fall in love with fashion, and I wanted to be close to the musicians I admired, so I started to imitate their clothes and appearance first.

What are your current interests?

Since graduating from [Alexandros], I have been interested in many different things. I would like to work on everything from music to producing and working in the fashion industry, which I love! The name "All Things Shop" is an expression of my desire to do so.

Do you usually wear sunglasses?

I probably wear it almost every day for UV protection. I like it as a fashion item, so I think I have more than I can count (laughs). It is an important piece that is indispensable to the end of my styling.

Please tell us about your favorite fashions.

I tend to change depending on my mood at the time, and right now I'm into military-type items. I am especially fond of a pair of vintage pants I recently bought from the 1970s! They were worn by the U.S. military during training.

Do you have any challenges you would like to try in the future?

I have always been interested in a variety of things, including creative writing. Among them, I am currently writing a light novel and hope to publish it somewhere someday.

Do you usually wear sunglasses?

I have many opportunities to wear them on a daily basis because my job, as well as my private life, involves constant exposure to the sun. I always carry several of them with me.

What did you think of the Zins and Son sunglasses?

The look and design of the products are very pop. There were many sunglasses that could be used as fashion items.

Are there any fashions that have caught your attention recently?

I find it interesting that today's young people are adding new elements to items from their own era, such as the 1990s. I think the fun of fashion is that each person has a different way of interpreting it, creating a variety of individuality. This has never changed.

I am interested in summery colored lenses. Since my face will be hidden by a mask, I thought a brighter color would look more refreshing.
