19SO's 24AW season also had a lot of clothes that are perfect for daily wear. What made you decide to start your own brand in the first place?
Suzuki: At the time, there were no pants that I wanted to wear, so I went to an alteration shop to modify the silhouette to my liking. For example, I would take a pair of slacks the size of a clay pipe and make the waist smaller and the hems wider so that the pants would taper. When I wore such pants, they were well received by stylists and acquaintances in the fashion industry. The reactions of the people around me made me think, "If I keep in mind the clothes I want to wear, but make them with more attention to detail, maybe they will be good. I decided to start my own brand.
I didn't realize that pants were the catalyst for the launch of your brand. By the way, how did you feel when you tried on today's "Tech Shield Tapered Pants" from Mizuno?
Suzuki: The silhouette is moderately tapered, so it goes well with a variety of shoes. If you wear leather shoes like today's on your feet, they will come in handy in rough business situations.

Do you always travel for work by car?
Suzuki: It's basically a train ride, including commuting to the office. Today, I had to carry brand samples, so I drove. The advantage of Land Rover's Velar is that despite its large capacity, the width of the car is less than 2 meters, so it can easily navigate narrow roads. I think it is a very Tokyo-like car in this respect.
I see that the interior of the car is spacious.
Suzuki: I chose this car not only for work like today, but also for my family, so my first priority was to make it easy for my wife and children to ride in the car. My wife gets carsick easily. But when she test-drove this car, she said, "Maybe I won't get sick in this car! (laughs). Apparently, Land Rover cars are designed with a high back seat so that non-drivers can also ride comfortably.
