Champion sweatshirts and six-party authentic.

Founded in 1919, athletic wear brand Champion has produced all kinds of masterpieces in its more than 100-year history, and it is no exaggeration to say that every fashion lover has worn their sleeves. Sweatshirts are particularly universal and cannot be left out of the discussion. Champion has continued to release many attractive items, such as the "TRUE TO ARCHIVES" line that faithfully reproduces rare archives of "Champion," the "MADE IN USA" series, and the "REVERSE WEAVE®" series that uses new materials and has been updated for the modern age. Champion continues to release many attractive items. The young, expressive people who are coloring the times wore these ever-evolving "Champion" items. What do the eyes of these three, who repeatedly input and output with a free sensibility, see in this royal brand?

STYLE 2 The coveted set-up is comfortable to wear.

The next outfit was a set-up. It's simple, but it has a very cozy look.

Really? I've been longing for a sweatshirt set-up for a while. I acted nonchalant during the shoot, but I actually wanted to try this kind of coordination!　I'm secretly happy about it (laughs). (laughing) But I think a sweatshirt set-up gives a completely different impression depending on the texture and silhouette. That's why I wanted to try out [Champion]. As I expected, it is comfortable to wear.

How about that all-important silhouette?

I was wondering about the size of the sweatpants.　I was worried that they would be too big, but they were just right. Nice silhouette, not too thin and not too thick.

The fabric is a 9 oz. terry fleece developed based on Champion's classic fleece that was popular in the 1990s.

It's really lightweight and comfortable. I prefer thicker fabrics for sweatshirts, but if I'm going to wear a set-up, it's for when I want to relax, so it's easier to move around in something as light as this. I don't think it would be stiff even with an outer layer. In winter, this set-up would be cute with a coat.

What situations would you like to wear the set-up in?

I still want to wear it in town as a matter of course. I think it can be worn fashionably depending on the bag, accessories, and makeup. Also, it's perfect for modeling jobs where you have to change clothes a lot.

You are a model, but you also work as an editor-in-chief and an actor. It is my own interpretation, but I thought that you might have something in common with "Champion," which has so many different looks that it is loved by people of all ages and styles. The body is solid, so any print will go well with it.

I am glad to hear you say so. Thank you!　But indeed, my sense of myself as a body, which has not fundamentally changed, and my sense of myself as changing with interests and experiences, is the print. I am convinced. Please leave that word as I said it (laughs).
