[Claire] Champion.T1011 T-shirt yellow ¥6,490 (wearing size L)
Next, you wore a T1011 T-shirt. This T-shirt is also from the "Made in the USA" series, which focuses on American-made materials, from the thread to the sewing process. The styling of this T-shirt also shows off Nishino-san's style to the fullest.
. I have my own rule when I wear a T-shirt. This time I wore slacks, but when I wear a T-shirt, I always tuck it in. T-shirts are casual items, so tucking them in makes them look more mature.
T1011 features a heavy body and binder neck, but is there a reason you chose the color yellow? The rubber print on the chest with UC Berkeley's nickname "CAL" over the bear's handprint is also eye catching.
. I think the most important thing is the coloring. Actually, I don't often choose white T-shirts. I feel that a white T-shirt is too ordinary when I wear it with ....... . Therefore, I tend to choose T-shirts with color or black. I think this T1011 is also a University of California college T-shirt, but I chose yellow because the color gives it an American feel.
I chose purple for the cap because I wanted to match the yellow of the T-shirt with the Lakers' colors.
Did you notice that (laughs)? Yes, I did. California means L.A., and L.A. means the Lakers. Speaking of Los Angeles, our generation cannot miss the Lakers. . I think it is important to keep that in mind as the underlying theme of the project.
For your information, what was the first item you purchased from "Champion"?
I think it was probably a marbled Reverse Weave® sweatshirt with a college print. Probably when I was in the seventh grade. I was in the first grade when I got into fashion. At that time, I was going to local stores and reading fashion magazines. I was also influenced by the fashion of my seniors and got information from them. ...... At that time, the Internet was not as widespread as it is now, so the only options were to ask acquaintances, look things up on my own, or go to .......
I see! But didn't you get into fashion in the first year of junior high school, or was that pretty early for you?
. yes, that's right. I think it was a very early awakening for me. At the time, there was only one select store on Awaji Island, my hometown. It was an American-style store, so naturally, I was familiar with the existence of high street brands such as "Champion. At that time, most of the current products were made in the U.S., so looking back on it now, I felt that I was experiencing "made in the U.S.A." in my daily life.
A. What does "Made in the USA" mean to you, Mr. Nishino?
. after all, it is an eternal longing. Not so now, but to be honest, the quality of American-made goods in the past was not so good. . The sewing was not perfect, the sizes were not even, etc. It was so noticeable that I asked my seniors at the time, "Isn't this a B product? It was so noticeable that I asked my senpai, "Isn't this a B product? But he said, "What are you talking about? You should enjoy the aji!" So I naturally came to feel that kind of aji is cool (laughs). Because of that imprint, even now, if a product has a "made in USA" tag on it, I unconditionally think it is cool.
