-I have the impression that you usually enjoy various genres of fashion, but today's outfit has a strong street color. What did you consider when styling the "Insonia Projects" T-shirt?
The T-shirt has a wide silhouette and the graphics have a very 90's vibe, so I definitely wanted to wear extra-thick denim, so I went with oversized denim for the entire body. Moreover, the denim is not a normal blue, but an earthy, dirty color, which I chose.
-Are there some aspects that are a little bit Beastie Boys-oriented?
A little bit (laughs). But, of course, I knew the songs, but to be honest, I had never really listened to them. I think I actually know many of the songs because I used to listen to them naturally when I used to go to used clothing stores.
-Do you originally like 90's street style and vintage clothing?
I like it a lot and it is my mood these days. There are more and more reprints of 90s T-shirts like this one, and I was born in the same decade, so this tension is probably a good fit for me. I collect T-shirts with designs I wouldn't wear myself, and sometimes I buy T-shirts of bands I don't know well as if I were buying their jackets, and then research and listen to their music. Most of the clothes I'm wearing today are vintage.
-Not only is this an official reissue of the Beastie Boys, but the T-shirt has been made with a great deal of care, with the texture and details of vintage clothing in mind, and the body of the T-shirt is original.
It is quite amazing how the prints are expressed in a degraded way. As for the silhouette, I wear basic T-shirts that are wide or oversized, so I really like the loose silhouette of this one. I also like this silk-screened tag that doesn't tingle when worn.
What are your criteria or preferences when choosing a T-shirt?
As for T-shirts with graphics, if I like the graphics on first impression, I will buy it. As for the silhouette, the wider the body, the better. I may not wear tight T-shirts very often.
-You seem to have quite a collection of T-shirts.
I think I have quite a lot of T-shirts. T-shirts are the most affordable item to buy and collect, so in that sense, T-shirts are my favorite item.
