SELECT EYEWEAR

FN-0246 col.638 ¥39,600

This model is a reinterpretation of the crown-pant eyewear popular in the 1950s by "FN" in a modern context. The two-tone black and clear color looks unique, but it blends in surprisingly well with the face and is useful when you want to add a point of interest.

The boslington shape has just emerged as a new trend in eyeglasses. It is between the rounded Boston shape and the inverted trapezoidal Wellington shape, and fits any face shape without any discomfort. To accentuate the classic impression, the outline of the frame is left blunt.

In just one year, the two have rapidly approached each other.

How did you two meet?

Amis:Catherine's previous pizza place was close by. Like a minute walk from my house. One time I went there twice in one day, and I tagged her on Instagram, even though I didn't know her, and she DM'd me. He said, "Isn't that the girl who came twice today?" And.

Catherine:That's right.

Amis:On the contrary, Catherine lived near where I was working at the time.

How long ago did you first meet?

Catherine:Like last year?

Amis:So we've only known each other for about a year.

And that's how you became friends.

Catherine:They came a little bit more than when I came twice a day.

Amis:After we became friends, I would only go there to disturb them (laughs). (Laughs.) I go there in my pajamas with no clothes on.

You two seem to be the type of people who get along easily?

Catherine:No, not at all. But Ami and I felt the same way.

Amis:Some of the senses are close, and some are completely different.

Catherine:The closest thing is that you are a bit of an innocent. Also, I have a clear idea of what I like and dislike.

Amis:Yes, I think so. I think we have similar ways of distancing ourselves from people. I don't contact people unless I have something to do with them, and my interactions are brief.

Catherine:(Laughter).

Amis:I get called dry, by my friends. Like, "Isn't your message too short? Like that (laughs).

Catherine:I don't like people who are capitulating.

Ami is eating "NY Crumb cake" (¥600) made at Katherine's store "Homecoming Vegan Baked Goods". Another is the "Sourdough Chocolate Pound Cake" (¥500), which is a rich chocolate cake. Both cakes are the same size as those sold in New York and are very satisfying.

Amis:Also, sometimes we are mistaken for sisters. Because we have similar hair styles.

Yes, that's true (laughs). When did you start wearing your hair that way?

Catherine:I guess I've been around for about 5 or 6 years now. It was a long time before that.

Amis:When I try to stretch it, it bounces outward in the middle.

Catherine:That's right. Also, the sameMr. TSUBASA.I have my hair cut by a hairdresser named located in Minami-Aoyama.REINCARNATIONThe ".

Amis:Yes, TSUBASA-kun had been on my mind for a long time, and when I found out that Catherine was having hers cut, I gathered up my courage and made an appointment for the first time. Since then, it has been Mr. TSUBASA.

Do you come to FUGLEN HANEGI KŌEN often?

Amis:I have been here only once.

Catherine:We came together, right?

Amis:That was the first and last time. I work in Yutenji, so I don't get to come this way very often.

Catherine:I come here several times a week, partly because I wholesale cakes from my own store. I also come here on a personal basis.

I would like to ask you about your fashion obsession.

Amis:I'm not picky. If I had to say, I would say that I don't wear anything in a size that fits me perfectly; T-shirts, sweatshirts, outerwear, and pants are not the sizes that girls choose. They are usually too big.

Catherine:It looks good on you, as it always does.

Where do you buy most of your products?

Amis:Basically, online. In a private store, not a clothing store, in a foreign country. Or bookstores. I sometimes get shocked when I go to the trouble of buying something from overseas, only to find that it is sold at a friend's store (laughs).

Do you always wear black?

Amis:That's not true either. Sometimes I wear pure white, and sometimes I wear colored clothes.

How about you, Catherine?

Catherine:I am not particular about what I wear, but I am the type of person who doesn't buy many clothes, so I wear the same things for years. I buy very few new things. So when I do buy, I only buy items that I know I can wear for a long time. The one I am wearing today, I have been wearing for 5 or 6 years. I also don't like prints or patterns. I also don't wear many colored items.
