Clothing in a different context. A breakthrough in fashion through decendents.

It's kind of fun to wear culture-derived clothes in my own way. Keiji Kaneko, who has always loved classic, utilitarian clothing, talks about his recent mood. The brand that inspired him is "DESCENDANT" by Toru Nishiyama. Kaneko-san and Nishiyama-san are an unexpected pairing, but being from Tokyo and the same age, they have a lot in common. Looking back on each other's fashion history and talking about what they think about fashion now, the conversation took an unexpected turn. And it seems that they have something planned. Let's hear what they have in mind.

New fashion fun where different contexts intersect.

I would like to know more about Nishiyama-san's feelings about Kaneko-san's proposal. I imagine that because the two of you are unexpected, you must have had unusual feelings.

Nishiyama: I had no hesitation at all. When the staff heard what Mr. Kaneko had to say, I thought it would be possible to create something very well-balanced. Therefore, I would rather have you do it.

Kaneko: I was very anxious (laughs).

Nishiyama: Since the clothes are casual to begin with, I thought it would be good to be as generous as this. I knew that the addition of a core direction would make it completely different from the usual "descendant. So it was a lot of fun.

Kaneko: I don't know much about "Dissident" yet, and there are new things I understand now that I've heard about it, so it was tough to work with it in that state. However, one of my strengths was that I enjoyed wearing chinos, and the key was how to interpret that.

This time, it will be available only at "BOUTIQUE" in Gaienmae, right?

Kaneko: That's right. For those who have always liked "Dissident," those who have been curious about it, and "BOUTIQUE" customers. I hope to propose to these people a new kind of fashion enjoyment in which different contexts intersect. I hope this project will be meaningful.

Nishiyama: This is an unknown experience for me as well, so I am very much looking forward to it. You mentioned the position of the waist, and I know that people who think about how to wear clothes look at that very carefully. It was fun to play with clothes with such people, and it was a great opportunity for me to grow as well. Thank you very much.

Kaneko: Thank you very much. I had a lot of fun, and I am looking forward to the future.
