Takashi Kumagai and Hisaya Kanno. What kind of events do these two men, who hit it off over vintage clothing, hold?

THRIFT WEAR MARKET & FLEAMARKET TOUrr, a pop-up event started by Hisaya Kanno, formerly of YSTRDY'S TMRRW. Centering on the sale of secondhand clothing, which he loves, the event also features delicious food stalls and workshops for children. At this event to be held in June in Nakameguro, the stylist Takashi Kumagai will be the guest and will be releasing a large quantity of vintage clothing that he has collected over the past 20 years. So this time, Mr. Kanno, the host of the event, and Mr. Kumagai, the guest, will have a conversation. We will find out what is going on in their minds as to what this event will be like.

I would like to see how you would coordinate what you had with what you had.

How many items will there be at this event?

Kumagaya:There are thousands of items in all, but not more than a thousand if they are seasonal?

Kanno:Probably about 700 points.

Kumagai-san, are there items that you don't want to sell?

Kumagaya:. yes, there is. To be honest, I should have kept "Naomi" from " Stussy" as well.

Kanno:Please don't look at it again. I don't want to change my mind and say, "I don't want to sell" (laughs).

Are you planning to do it again in the fall and winter?

Kanno:. that's the plan. . we have a lot of outerwear and such, and it would be a shame to end it with a single shot. It's always a fun event, but this time I'm with Mr. Kumagai, so I'm really looking forward to it myself. I can't imagine myself as a high school student (laughs). (Laughs.) I wish I could tell the boy Kanno back then, "You're going to work with the stylist of the magazine you're looking at now.

Do you serve customers as well?

Kumagaya:That's the plan. I'm keeping my schedule open.

Kanno:. we are also looking forward to having Mr. Kumagai's fans come. At a previous event, Mr. Kumagai promoted the event on his Instagram. Many fashionable people came to the event.

Kumagaya:I'm glad to see that the fans of Grand Canyon still love the show. I think that kind of audience will come to the show.

Kanno:I know you will also have sample sources for the brands you have been working with, right, Mr. Kumagai?

Kumagaya:That's right. Grand Canyon is one of them, and Nessence is influenced by European vintage clothing, so of course we have items like that as well.

Kumagai-san is known for his Indian jewelry, but do you have a full line of accessories as well?

Kumagaya:. because I'm going to put that on myself. It's something you wear when you get old. . But there are concho belts and so on. And western boots. I hear that such items are popular among young people, so I would like people in their 20s to come here. We have Justin and Tony Lama, so I'd like to see people in their 20s come here.

. Finally, what are you both looking forward to this time?

Kanno:As I mentioned earlier, I look forward to meeting Mr. Kumagai's clients. Also, stylists are particular about how they look, aren't they? Working with someone like that, I feel pressure in a good way. I have three other staff members besides myself, so I have to make sure they don't get mad at me for not showing them the right way (laughs). (Laughs) . There are three other staff members besides myself, so we will do our best while working hand in hand.

Kumagaya:I'd like to see people styling the items they bought at this event and uploading them on Instagram or something. I would like to see how everyone coordinates their own items. . There are also a lot of really interesting items, so I hope we can all have a good time together. I hope it will be a fun event.

Kanno:Yes, I am. I am really looking forward to it. Best regards!
