Although he only has one suitcase for this photo shoot, Mr. Yoshi says that he usually takes two suitcases with him when he goes abroad. He packs his clothes in one suitcase and his shoes in the other.
. "I don't like to wear the same clothes on business trips as much as possible. This is because during fashion week, I always meet with my business partners at shows and exhibitions. . I think it is polite to wear the brand's clothes. If I have an appointment on short notice, I may change clothes on the spot, so I bring extra clothes, and I also bring a second suitcase for the number of days I am there plus extra shoes to match the outfits. So before I knew it, two suitcases became second nature. When packing clothes, my rule is to use a compression bag for each item.
Recently, he has had many opportunities to visit Korea because of the brands he deals with and the many designers and friends he is close to. Last year, he went to Korea for three consecutive months in September, October, and November.
. I am amazed at the power of Korean fashionistas. The power and enthusiasm with which they leave images and videos of their own looks and styles to create buzz is on a different level from that of Japanese fashionistas. I think we need to learn from their creative attitude. Frankly speaking, in the Japanese market alone, it is becoming difficult to create a situation where something can create a buzz. Recently, based on my various experiences, I have realized that it is easier to create a buzz by importing back into Japan something that has already had a positive reaction overseas. I would like to maintain a creative attitude so that I can be stimulated by going abroad and successfully output the input I receive in Japan as well.
[99% IS-] sweatshirt set-up and mask
. "I wear this getup when I'm on the move. I usually wear sweats on my days off from work, but I don't want to let my guard down because I never know when or where I will meet someone. So, even when I go to the convenience store under my apartment...I change into a wrinkle-free sweatshirt (laughs). These pants have a flared silhouette, which is beautiful, and the front pockets are functional. It is also important to take care of myself, so I always carry a mask.
Sandals by adidas Yeezy
. when I go abroad, I wear them from home. I have been using these for about two years now. I have to take my shoes off even at security checkpoints at airports, and on long flights, I like to take them off. Anyway, they are comfortable and I don't have to tell you how comfortable they are. Sandals with thin soles sometimes don't go well with clothes, so on balance, this volume is just right. I like them so much that I have decided to use them as my slippers at home.
EASTPAK x ader error backpack
This item is a collaboration between the backpack brand "Eastpak" and the popular Korean brand "Ardor Error.
. "I check e-mail a lot in my job and carry a laptop, so I choose a backpack as my everyday bag. This bag is just right for carry-on baggage. There is a sleeve pocket on the inside for a PC, and a pouch that can be attached to the outside with a carabiner, so it's convenient to divide my luggage into smaller compartments. If only the bag stands out, it cannot be used in a dressy way, so what I look for in a backpack is lightness and functionality. I tend to use one brand of larger bags for a long time.
XLIM's mini shoulder bag
In contrast to the backpack for carry-on baggage, a compact bag is chosen for carrying around when you arrive at your business destination.
X-Rim" is a brand started by a friend of mine who used to be a stylist in Korea. Recently, there are not many bags in this size range.... Most bags are only big enough to hold a cell phone, but I want to carry my camera and passport, so this size is perfect for me. The lining is nylon and there is a pocket on the inside, so it is very functional.
Compact film camera from Olympus
. iPhone cameras have good image quality and can take beautiful pictures, but they are kind of tasteless. . But when I take pictures with a film camera, I get a completely different impression, which is interesting. I am not particularly particular about cameras, but I use this one because it is compact, easy to carry around, and was recommended to me by a friend. When I go to stores overseas, I enjoy taking pictures of my friends with this camera, or just taking rough shots of foreign landscapes.
Indispensable work tools
I always bring my MacBooks because I use them to read documents and check my e-mail. I'm a bit of a worrier, so I bring a charger, two AirPods, and a USB flash drive with my music on it. I have music on a USB flash drive. I have a USB flash drive with music on it. I don't carry a PC when I play, but with this USB stick, I can DJ anytime. Whenever I have an idea, I write it down in a notebook so I don't forget it and can keep the information organized, which is very useful.
