Make a Scenery with LUTECIA

Yuhi Ozaki's urban life and the Renault Lutecia.

The criteria for selecting a car vary from person to person, and there are many different criteria. The ideal car is one that fits the place where you live, the lifestyle you lead there, and your personal tastes and interests. So what exactly is a car that fits in the city? Yuhi Ozaki, a stylish man by nature, says, "I like compact and romantic cars. The Renault Lutecia, which he drove this time, is a car that is full of such appeal. We closely followed Ozaki's urban life as he drove the Lutecia, a car that has all three qualities: a gracefully curved exterior, a comfortable and high quality interior, and a powerful drive.

PROFILE

Yuhi Ozaki

Born in 1980 . Born in Aichi Prefecture. After working as a buyer at a major select store, he was involved in the launch of numerous brands. In 2012, he launched his own brand, "Sankakke," based on the concept of "making beautiful clothes with care," and since 2014, he has also been involved in "Young & Olsen the Dry Goods Store.

I like European rounded compact cars.

When we look at the culture of fashion from afar , we see a world that is like a wide and deep ocean.

Intersecting with different eras, different lifestyles, and different cultures, the context extends in all directions, and at the end of the extension, another branching off occurs. It is like a swamp, a world with no exit.

In the world of fashion, the man who sails with a firm vision in his heart is Yuhi Ozaki, who appears in this issue.

Mr. Ozaki has been involved in buying for select stores since he was a young man, and has traveled the world looking at all kinds of "things. He has used this experience to direct various brands, including his own brand, "Sankakke," and "Young & Olsen The Dry Goods Store.

Mr. Ozaki's day begins with a ride in his car. He wakes up in the morning, gets ready, gets in the car, and gets behind the wheel. While driving the distance from his home to the office, he organizes his schedule for the day, and while gazing at the changing scenery, he thinks absentmindedly to get his body and mind going.

. I have always loved cars. I saw Steve McQueen movies and 007, and I was fascinated by them, so I got my driver's license right after I turned 18. I'm from Aichi Prefecture, where the car society is very strong, and everyone buys a car right away. So I got an old car from a French car brand. I like rounded European compact cars, and there is something about them that really appeals to me.

I was seriously considering buying a Renault Cattle at the time," he said. In the end, the conditions were not right, and I ended up with another car, but I felt that the process of making such a car was clearly different, and the design was fascinating and romantic. Even now, I like small, rounded cars, and from the looks of it, the Lutecia seems to fit my tastes.
