A new world that Ayumu Hirano encounters.
Vol.3 Coffee and Clothes.

. perhaps it is time for Mr. Hirano to make a change in his clothing these days.

. "My taste in the balance between pants and tops and size may have changed a little recently. . I get tired of wearing the same clothes all the time. During photo shoots like this, it's nice to be able to try on new clothes that are different from the patterns I tend to choose. There are a lot of things I can feel there."

For example, the knitwear of the day is one such item.

I usually don't wear knitwear very often, but I have always been curious about this item. . When I actually try it on, I feel warm and protected by its warmth, as if I should wear it in winter. The color of the item is elegant and has a slightly mature atmosphere, and when I actually wear it, I would like to adjust the size and the color to my own taste.

For Hirano, who pays attention to color in styling, the coloring was also impressive this time.

. "I think the coloring fits very well with what I do ... snowboarding. The pants are a little bit dark brown, with a strong brown, beige, and down color that is closer to the mountains. I used to wear this kind of color a lot in the past, so it brings back some nostalgia, and I think it's a great color. The coloring gave me a sense of calm coolness.

. Even when it comes to styling, she seems to be able to read a lot of things with her rich sensitivity. We had heard that Ms. Hirano was particular about her clothes, but it seems that her particularity went beyond our imagination....

He says, "I have a personality that cares about little things, and I try on all the clothes I bring to an expedition by myself once and choose them until I am satisfied with them. What I care about the most when I wear clothes is the right size, such as the right width. There have been times when I have cut a piece of clothing because I was not satisfied with it. Also, when I don't want to look like everyone else, I sometimes add my own touches, such as painting. . I guess that kind of obsession comes out a little in my snowboarding and skateboarding practice. It's like I keep at it until I'm satisfied."

It is Hirano's nature, not only in competitions, but also in his personal life, that once he gets involved in something, he cannot help but be obsessed with it. It will be interesting to see if ramen noodles, vinyl records, and coffee, which he visited during this interview, will become the subject of his future work, and how they will color his life.
