Q1: What is the point of today's coordination?
Araya: . I chose a full-zip jacket with an "adidas" logo to go with my "Top Ten. I got it several years ago when I was in Canada on a working holiday, and it is a memorable item given to me by a friend who runs a snowboard rental equipment store. . When it comes to the clothes I wear, design is important, but I often choose clothes that are comfortable and functional.
Q2. What is the appeal of vintage clothing?
Araya: . being able to imagine the history and story of just that piece of clothing. . It is fun to imagine what kind of person the previous owner was, such as "Did someone who lived in Vancouver wear it?" . Perhaps one of the charms of old clothes inherited from someone else is that you can add a new history to them by modifying them. This denim was purchased at a Canadian vintage clothing measuring store and had a floral pattern printed on it by a friend's brand. I like the pop and escapist feel of the pattern.
Q3. How do you feel about wearing this work?
Araya: I used to play soccer, so I have a lot of "adidas" shoes, but this is the first time I've worn "Top Ten" shoes. I like the retro design and rounded shape reminiscent of the 1980s. Many of the clothes in my closet are casual and rough, so they seem to go well with them.
Q4. How did you find this work with old clothes?
Araya: . I think it goes great with old clothes. Since the jacket I wore this time was an oversized jacket, it would inevitably become unbalanced if there was no center of gravity underneath. . Because of the volume of the "Top Ten," I was able to wear it in a well-balanced way. The yellow line at the cuff of the shoes is also a cute accent. . Today, the floral pattern on the pants picks up the yellow color.
