This is the time of year when fall/winter starts up and sales are mixed, and it is necessary to have an eye for what you "really want". Shop according to your reasons and your style. For example, the HOUYHNHNM editorial team would look like this.
I have inhaled more than enough of next season's mood by seeing various shows and exhibitions in the sweltering heat of Paris. It is not all bright news, but I would like to capture fashion in a positive mood.
Since I have been going to the Paris Collection for the past two seasons, I have had many more opportunities to come into contact with brands that are leading the current scene. It is of course fun to discuss these brands from a bird's eye view and journalistically, but what is even more fun is to talk about "I want that one! I love to talk about it. . In that sense, "Our Legacy" is often on my wish list. The brand is characterized by its sophisticated, fashionable look, yet it is somehow pop and easy to get to know. The western motif shirts released this season are a favorite of ours, and as you can see, there is nothing earthy about these shirts, but rather, as you can see, they have a funky finish. What is noteworthy is the openness of the collar. It is neither too open nor too closed, but rather a perfect compromise, don't you think? Personally, I'm interested in brands that hover between luxury and casual, and Hour Legacy has jumped onto the right wing of that spectrum.

Why is it that paranoid creativity is so fascinating? We are talking about the 3rd collection of bag brand "Wacko Wacko," which dismantled and reconstructed trench coats (mainly made in England, with only the old tags of the home country's specifications) of a famous brand that everyone knows. As you can see, the color blurring is due to the different ages and manufacturing plants. The material is waterproof gabardine, which is perfect for bags. I bit my lip and wondered why I had never heard of this interesting brand before, but they have just started a unisex line this season. The huge bag on the left is a special order from "International Gallery Beams," and the bag on the right can hold a 12-inch record. It is always refreshing to see products that vividly convey the creator's paranoid love. By the way, products using this fabric are only available this season. The brand promises to make bags using a different material next season. If you are interested in this product, be sure to buy it as soon as possible.

I will be moving to a new house in the fall or so. I have never had a room fragrance in my house before, but I am thinking it is time to have one. I have been searching for a variety of room fragrances, and I have found one that has the perfect combination of smell, design, and background. This room fragrance is made in a remote mountain village in the south of France by Mads et Ren. Each fragrance is made using an old-fashioned process where the fragrance is distilled from flowers, trees, and stems, and then infused by hand. The products are created in a style that is in harmony with the natural world, without using any artificial ingredients, and there are quite a few variations with different materials and fragrances. The one shown in the photo is a potpourri type, made of natural resin amber coated with a fragrance to enjoy the scent. The scent is stronger when soaked in the included recharge oil. The classic and shabby look that would be perfect if it were in an antique furniture shop is also attractive.

Have you ever heard of "in-season items"? As the name suggests, these are spot items that are released in the transitional period between seasons, and I personally always pay attention to them because they are often quite interesting. This summer, my favorite brand "Tapia Los Angeles" will be releasing a new line. This T-shirt is hand-printed with a phrase inspired by the Vietnam War. Tapia L.A., which usually does not produce logos or prints, but instead focuses on simple collections, releases message T-shirts like this one, which makes me happy as if I can hear the designer's passionate heartbeat. It makes me feel closer to the designer. The body is made of a slightly thicker "Pro Club" material. I feel like wearing a large size with a big bang.

Eldresso does not neglect functionality, nor does it neglect design. Eldresso" may be a bit radical, but it is a brand that reminds us of the power of design in running wear. The shorts, with their high-impact patterned body, are made of water-absorbent, quick-drying, breathable, and cool material, and the side pockets have coil fasteners for design. They are packaged with a good balance of function and design, with a convenient back pocket for storing gels and other items. With such playfulness in the design, we feel that it will encourage people to try running a little.

While checking the material, size, and color of the T-shirts I ordered for the team uniform and the rain jacket for trekking, I looked around the store and spotted this apron. . It is a product under the name "Patagonia Provisions," which is a food category of Patagonia. Moreover, I was told that it was a collaboration with "Mafia Bags," a bag brand that reuses materials from marine sports. It is a very tempting item. The bag is based on a used sail, has shoulder straps made from climbing rope found in Yosemite, and the pockets are made from some of Patagonia's salvaged shells. 100% recycled materials, eco-friendly, versatile, and extremely durable. I can't cook at all, but I want to stock up for when I become a man who can.

When you are in an industry like this, being asked, "Where's that?" is a compliment. It is a real thrill to be the first to dig up something that others don't know about and wear it. Even for sports sandals, which have become a summer staple, we want to choose something different. This is where Echo, a Danish manufacturer of comfort shoes, comes in. The characteristics of these shoes are comfort and the quality of the leather, which is supplied to leading maisons. In fact, the "INTRINSIC MENS SANDAL" also uses a combination of elastic straps and leather upper. . sporty , but elegant and refined.

Panama hats or can-can hats have been the order of the day in the summer for the past few years. Of course, this year too! But after a long time, my desire for a cap has been rekindled. I fell in love with these four at first sight.
BILLBOARD," a line just launched this spring/summer, focuses on the handwritten designs of NUTS ART WORKS, Tokyo's world-class sign painter. The bodies are daringly selected from those in general circulation, according to the mood of the moment. The idea is to create a line like the artists' souvenirs often sold at galleries, and I thought it was cool that the handwritten designs matched with a certain level of unrefined style. Incidentally, the words "BLACK EYE SPECIALIST" on the cap are said to be a slang phrase for a delinquent that used to be painted on the windows of old tattoo parlors. The body used this time is a COOPERSTOWN BALL CAP, and everything about it is perfect.

Palaka" is a checked woven cotton fabric that has been handed down from generation to generation in Hawaii. The shirts made from this fabric are said to have originated as jackets for European sailors, and are so familiar to Hawaiians that they became the prototype for the later aloha shirt, which is exactly like denim. Porter Classic" is an original producer and distributor of such palakas. The brand is known for its indigo-dyed kendo suits, and the palaka is no exception. The classic series has been produced since the brand's establishment. This cap is the newest addition to the series. Since there is no core in the brim, it can be easily washed in the washing machine even in this season when sweat is a concern, and if you roll it up, it can easily fit in your pocket. It would be great if a girl would wear it. I'm sure she'd be very attracted to it.

Neat" became a popular pants brand as soon as the brand was launched. The well-tapered silhouette that has become synonymous with the brand is still alive and well in the 2018 AW collection. Designer Mr. Nishino, who loves preppy items, turned his attention to a material called "Swiss denim. The light green color with luster and bounce is elegant, and it gave me an image of a classy holiday outfit for an army officer. It is full of a mysterious charm that seems to go well with anything, including jackets, high necks, and white T-shirts tucked in. Perhaps the best time to enjoy "NEAT" pants, which create "new staples" by crossing classic detail work throughout with modern tapered styles, is this fall/winter season, when you can play with the materials.

It is in the uncontrollable heat of summer that functional items really come into their own. The North Face's ripstop nylon fabric pants are lightweight, stretchy, and have sweatbanding throughout and at the sweat-ribbed waist to reduce the sticky, sweaty feeling. I'm not a fan of "the ribbed pants" design, but I welcome ribbed pants that can be used for everyday wear, as the ribbed hems are not too tight and the width is short enough to fit easily. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a comfortable yet decent looking pair for everyday wear.

The smell is not strong, so there is no need to worry about applying too much.

Cold Spring Apothecary was born in 2010 in the Hudson Valley. Cold Spring is a beautiful resort town in the Hudson Valley of upstate New York, and "apothecary" means a dispensary. The brand name evokes the image of dispensers in their immaculate white coats making these candles. The brand's scented candles are 100% soy wax, which burns slowly at low temperatures, smells gently, and does not produce soot or black stains. . In addition, soy wax has air freshening properties. If you smell it, you are absorbing its ingredients into your body through your nose, so it is safer to use organic materials. In this summer, when the intense heat can be mentally overwhelming, just cooking an aroma candle after a cold shower can make you feel very elegant, so please give it a try. The left photo shows a slightly sweet combination of the sweet, rich aroma of peony and rosemary , while the right photo shows a masculine, deep tobacco (non-toxic) and black pepper combination. The recommended drink to match each fragrance is also a smart brand with the ultimate in elegance.

My hometown of Hiratsuka was not a rather elegant town, and the so-called "yankee" people formed the mainstream. And they were the ones with the "kotte-kotte" look. The kind with dogs embroidered on them . In reaction to that, I had a tendency to avoid the "delinquent look," but for some reason, in my late 20s, I've turned it into an "aha" thing, or rather, I'd like to wear it. The rayon shirt by Vans and Braindead is a piece of clothing that has a hint of Yankee-ism, but is nicely balanced by the catchy, carefree illustrations.

I look for just the right pants all year round. The "just right" pants depend on the season, the case, and my mood, but right now, I am looking for pants that (1) They are tough and don't poke pills right away. (2) Not too hot. (3) A price that allows me to wear it without hesitation. Eric Hunter's twill pants do not pass these three criteria, but rather meet them in full swing. In addition to the surprisingly low price of about 5,000 yen including tax, the wide silhouette, easy waist, length that is not too long, rough twill texture, and the fact that they are made in America make them perfect. The twill fabric is the only one currently available in the store, but from this fall/winter, the corduroy one on the left and the new slacks-like polyester one in the center will also be available. The price and quality of the new items are higher because they are made in Japan, but even so, they are inexpensive. There is a wide variety of colors and shorts are also available.

At the same time, an exhibition of Rams' work was being held at the Fuchu Art Museum in Tokyo, and I remember going there with a friend. Rams's works range from electrical appliances to daily necessities. Even today, it is easy to find his reprinted works, so I tend to check them out on the Internet.

Lately, low-cut sneakers have been the norm, but when I picked these up at the exhibition, I thought that high-cut sneakers would be nice for the first time in a while.

There are many clothes with bandana patterns, but not many that are made from bandanas themselves. This cardigan by Bonham, a master remake maker, is made from five bandanas that have been skillfully laid out and joined together to form a beautifully crafted garment. There is no fabric cutting or special pattern, so it gives a rough impression, but I think this oafish look is conversely summery and good. When you try it on, it has a loose silhouette that relaxes your shoulders and creates a unique drape that is interesting. Of course, because it is a bandana, it absorbs sweat well and dries quickly, making it comfortable to wear even in midsummer. The hippie-feeling that it exudes will help you get into rock festivals as well. Personally, I think I'd like to wear it with flared pants and beesants and pretend to be in the Summer of Love.

Summer means summer festivals! This year, too, I am planning to go to as many as I can, starting with the summer party in my neighborhood, the Awaodori dance in Koenji, the Sumida River fireworks display, and others. This is an annual event that my daughter and I look forward to every year. Hearing the festival music naturally lifts my spirits, and the lively atmosphere is always exciting. Drinking beer and eating food from all the food stalls, such a self-indulgent way of spending time is the best way to feel good, isn't it? Of course, I always wear snow shoes when I go to festivals, so I'm thinking of getting a new pair this year as well. The pair in the photo is from "Blue Blue Japan" and has a cloisonne pattern with an indigo dyeing process. The Hanao pattern makes a good point when I wear them. For the pants to match, I chose half-length wide pants. The material is a blend of hemp and Japanese paper, so they promise cool and comfortable wear even on hot and humid days. The indigo color of the geta is also a good unifying factor. If you want to spend the Japanese summer in style, Japan blue = indigo.

Sunglasses are a must-have item in summer, but as someone with low vision, I have to change my lenses to those with prescription lenses, and the extra cost is a little too much for me to afford. So every year, I have been bothered by the "summer sun problem," but thanks to a service offered by Ponmegane, a select store of glasses for people in the know, I think I can finally solve that problem. Take a look at the photo. This is a service that allows you to have a pair of clip-on sunglasses made to order to match the glasses you have on hand. You can choose from 21 lens colors and 4 metal colors for a total of 84 color variations. Furthermore, the flip-up type is functional, and the double bridge gives the glasses a strong visual impact. The easy setup instantly transforms your ordinary spectacles into a pair of powerful sunglasses. Of course, the fact that they are fully custom-made and unique to you is also very important. I think I'll make all of them to match the glasses I already have! And the price is cheap, too.

Last month, I went to Paris on a business trip for the first time in my life. During my stay, I spent from morning till night visiting collections and exhibitions to check out all the fashion trends for the 2018 SS. Of course, I didn't do any sightseeing because of work (I did see the Eiffel Tower from a distance), but there was one place I really wanted to visit: Shakespeare & Company, a long-established bookstore founded in 1919. It is a bookstore loved by great writers such as Hemingway and Fitzgerald, as well as beat writers such as Ginsberg and Burroughs, and is the center of American literature in Paris. When I took a peek in between visits, I was surprised to find a space far beyond my imagination. The number of books in the collection that filled the ceiling was overwhelming, and the atmosphere of the store was intoxicating. I rushed around the store, thinking about the great writers of the past. Next time, I would like to spend more time in the store. On the way home, I picked up a shopping bag, a staple souvenir. The bag has long handles so it can be worn over the shoulder, and it has a wide gusset, so it seems to be easy to use. I guess it's for around the neighborhood.
