Q1: What is the point of today's coordination?
Otani: The jacket was designed by dismantling an American army sleeping bag. The shirt inside is a used "Pucci pattern" from a street brand. The base jacket, the materials, and the shirt inside are all from the 80's with respect to the Forum.
Q2. What is the appeal of vintage clothing? . Please also tell us about some vintage clothing that you have been interested in recently.
Otani: . is that you can find something interesting that you can't find in a new item. For example, the length of the garment is extremely short, or it has elaborate embroidery. I find myself thinking, "If this were made today, it would probably cost a pretty penny. Rather than looking for items that interest me, I go to my favorite vintage clothing store and enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime shopping experience of finding items that are in stock at that particular time.
Q3. How do you feel about wearing this work?
Otani: . Actually, I wore "Forum" when I was in high school. I was a big B-Boy at the time, so they were super loose (laughs). (Laughs.) The fresh white coloring and impactful, voluminous silhouette are still as cool as ever. Unlike when I was a high school student, I choose to wear just the right size for my current mood, but as you would expect from the Forum, it fits both styles of coordination.
Q4. How did you find this work with old clothes?
Otani: For example, I feel that so-called "royal road" vintage clothing fits best when worn with a big silhouette shirt or loose silhouette chino pants. . Yet, they also go well with today's clean styling, and are a convenient item that can be worn in many different ways.
