FN / FOUR NINES FOR YOUTH

Glasses, Tokyo, 6 styles and FN.

The Japanese brand "FOUR NINES (999.9)" has been producing high-quality eyewear since its establishment in 1995. In 2023, FN (FOUR NINES) was born as a new line that develops with free ideas in accordance with current trends. The line encompasses various fashions and cultures while maintaining the technology and quality that the brand has cultivated up to now. How does such a full-bodied collection look in the eyes of Tokyo's young people with style? We visited them in their fields and took some snapshots. The comfort and looks seem to be very good.

Please tell us about your daily fashion.

Kawachi:I keep work and private life separate, but in my private life I wear mostly vintage clothes. In my private life, I wear mostly vintage clothes, like sweatshirts and denim. I have a friend's vintage clothing shop in Sangenjaya calledPer-aah (per-aah)There is a "I'll buy it there" and I often buy it there.

How many pairs of eyewear do you own?

Kawachi:I have four of the more expensive ones, and if you include the toys that cost about 300 yen, I have a lot of them.

What is your passion for eyewear?

Kawachi:I often wear flashy clothes, so I like something with a quirk to match. I also go fishing, so I have polarized lenses for that. Also, my face is not that dark, so I rely on glasses a lot (laughs). Just one pair of glasses makes a big impact on my face.

What is your impression of FN?

Kawachi:They are authentic and easy to match with any fashion, but I have the impression that many of them are very particular about details, such as the slightly raised bridge, like the one you are wearing right now, which gives them a unique look.

Why did you choose this model?

Kawachi:High bridges are in fashion now, but many of them are too classic. But FN's model is exquisite. The height is just right and the roundness is good. Moreover, they are extremely lightweight and fit well, as you would expect from a Japanese brand.

I heard that this is your favorite restaurant.
