From the chorus of cicadas to the solo singing of bell bugs. The sound coming from outside the window reminds me of the end of summer today. We are just about to finish Unplugged (it will be on sale on September 24!). We would like to introduce some items that will be a guide to the next season from the editorial department of Huinamu.
I have resolved many times to dress appropriately for my age, but each time I have somewhat toned it down. But this time, I'm serious. I want to look classy no matter what my style is.
Daiki Suzuki, Mark McNairy, and Shinsuke Kojima. If you know what this lineup means, you are a fashion lover in good taste. The line directed by Mr. Kojima, called "Gray Label," which will be launched in the 16th AW, is simply amazing. Woolrich" was originally a fashion giant that had a great influence on American clothing culture. This time, Mr. Kojima has reconstructed that great legacy with his own lighthearted stance. The production was done at a trusted factory in Japan, and the exquisite modernity of the garments is evident in the thorough attention to detail that was paid to the fabric.

When I hear the word "German trainer," I unconditionally wag my tail. At one time, many well-known designers were reproducing German trainers, but it is this "Reproduction of Found" brand that has taken this trend into full swing, or rather, made it into a brand. The Slovakian factory that produced many military shoes from the 1950s to the 1970s was contracted to produce these shoes. In other words, they are the "real thing. There are various types of military shoes, but this time I chose these two pairs. On the left are British trainers, and on the right are Italian trainers. The shape is the same, but the colors are exquisite.

I am happy to report that it made me happy, too. Dovelet, which we have been secretly promoting for some time, decorated the show window of "Colette" in Paris during the recent Paris Men's Fashion Week. This is the time of the year when it is most visible to the public. Incidentally, Vetements was displayed in the previous season. This shows how high Sarah's expectations were. Anyway, the creations of "Doublet" for 16AW are outstanding and cool, no questions asked. They are already showing a lot of movement in stores. While there are many edgy designs, it was this simple tailored one that I wanted to wear. However, the lining pops as you can see. The buttons are badges. It has a lot of oomph, seriously.

Many of you may be thinking that it is difficult to find a good brand of bags, isn't it? No, of course, there are some so-called "well-established" or "standard" brands that everyone is familiar with. However, for alternative brands that are not in that position, Izaricy is a step or two ahead of the rest with its outstanding quality and noble design. I know some of you may be tired of hearing about this brand since I've pushed it so many times in this column, but good things are really good. In the case of this "massive" backpack, the sense of placement of the materials, the design of the little accessories, and the atmosphere that surrounds the product are, in a word, superb. Expensive? No, no, no, it's cheap.

but sunk into a swim in the ocean. I retired in no time. Oh well, swimming in the ocean is tough. However, I will have to take revenge sooner or later.... I want to run in the mountains.
I am always looking for sunglasses that can be used for running. This is because, surprisingly, when it comes to sunglasses that can be used both in town and on the run, the market is usually set on a certain brand and a certain model. Thanks to this, it is not unusual for me to end up wearing the same pair of sunglasses on the field. In order to avoid such a situation, it is important to choose eyewear with originality. That is where "T19" comes in. T19 has invited California-based sunglass brand "Glassy" to be its partner, and has added mirrored lenses to the fresh blue frames that are typical of "T19. The temples open more than 90 degrees for a great fit. With these sunglasses, there should be no problem even if you are gawking at a cute girl while running.

South2West8 has a lineup that seems to have abandoned being a fashion brand, and at the same time, as someone who is fascinated by running and trail running, I feel a strong sense of empathy with the brand. Among them, this season's most eye-catching item is this fish print T-shirt. The colorful patterns on the T-shirt reproduce the beautiful patterns of fish, and the quick-drying polyurethane body is also a must-see. The names of the fish, "rainbow trout," "amemasu trout," "landlocked salmon," and "itou," are also very charming.

adidas is serious about the outdoors. Slowly but surely, the company is expanding its product lineup and branching out into every category, from hiking to trail running and even climbing. The collection, which incorporates plenty of cutting-edge technology that only a major sports manufacturer can offer, is packaged in a design that differs from that of traditional outdoor manufacturers, and it looks stylish in every way. The shoes you see here also look as good as they would on the street, but they are equipped with Gore-Tex® and feature Continental rubber for superior grip. They are a stiff gem that can be used for fast hikes as well as trail runs.

I don't often look at photo books on a daily basis. It is true that as an editor I am ill-informed, but a photo book is not something that you just browse through. In my case, the meaning of viewing a book exists only when I have the intention to pick it up and spend time with it. However, of course, there are some hit-or-miss moments. Matsuo's photo collection "Heavy Metal" is, needless to say, the latter. It is the third volume of the publishing project "Sasebo Project" and a masterpiece. The realistic work styles of the men working in the shipyard remind us how much we have been dealing with clichéd workwear. Please open the heavy door and feel the strength and coolness of the workers through the profound portraits. It will make you moan.

The item name is "THE SHOEMAKER". This is a collaborative work with stylist Yuta Kaji, who is a close friend of the designer, Mr. Kawaguchi. As the name of the item indicates, the writing is a letter of the name of a long-established shoe brand that you are all familiar with. It all started when Mr. Kaji tweeted, "Metaphor's collection lacks an element of shoes! Mr. Kaji tweeted, "The Metaphor collection lacks shoe elements! Hats off to Mr. Kawaguchi who actually commercialized the idea instead of just making a joke out of it. You never know where an idea might lie. I was surprised that such an interesting item could be born from an accident. Although it is not a celebration plate, I would like to display it alongside the trophy case at my parents' house. It would make a great gift for a friend!

Richardson was founded by Andrew Richardson with the theme of sex. I have been collecting the magazine since its first issue in 1998, not only for its shocking visuals, but also for its interesting content that captures social phenomena and counterculture. In the magazine's latest issue, "A8," Kim Kardashian's brother, Rob's boyfriendblack Chinaappeared on the cover. The sweatshirt on the left is the full-length spread of the magazine. The T-shirt on the right, on the other hand, is from the globally popular websiteWORLDSTARHIPHOP (WSHH)This is a collaboration between the "WSHH" and the "WSHH. WSHH" is a treasure trove of hip-hop related videos uploaded on a daily basis, and I personally check it every day.

A few issues ago, the theme of this project became only "what the editorial staff is interested in". Until then, there were some kind of restrictions, such as high functionality or gifts, so selecting items was easier than it is now. Now that we are free to choose, the hurdle has become higher, and unless I have a firm axis in mind, my selections often become scattered. The concept of the up-and-coming brand "untitled club" is no different. K27T (KENT), who directs the brand, has set the ultimate goal of "untitled. In other words, it is free and up to the individual's sense of style. Born and raised in downtown Tokyo, he is an old friend and a very nice guy. I think he is the only one who can mix music, movies, youth culture, and subculture in a good balance in his designs. I'm rooting for him!

Zik 3, the latest noise-canceling headphones from the French-born brand Parrot. The designer is Philippe Starck. He is an architect and interior designer who once worked on the interior of the French president's official residence. The main feature is that the entire surface of the right housing is a touch panel. For example, moving a finger vertically adjusts the volume, swiping horizontally moves to the next song, and tapping pauses the playback. There is also a sensor that detects when headphones are removed from the head and pauses the music. A dedicated application can also be used to reproduce the acoustics of a concert hall or club, or to intuitively adjust the sound to your liking. Jazz music played with your eyes closed is a tearjerker.

After all this time, I now want to learn about photography properly. I wonder if I was subconsciously inspired by the fall of art, but what I want to photograph is the passing summer.
BkT by BROOKLYN TAILORS" is a brand that has "tailor" in its name, so it has taken a rather formal line and steered it in a slightly more casual direction. While at first glance, the clothes may look pretty, the details are full of "casual. For example, the denim pants on the right have slit pockets on the front for formal wear or double-folded pockets like a suit, while the denim fabric and side tapes show the breadth of the design. I guess it is a sense of style to be able to put this swing together without breaking the bank. For this kind of denim, I would like to enjoy wearing it with a corduroy jacket and vest for a heavy-duty look.

I am sure that I am going to make your ears ring with laughter, but the magazine edition of "Finum Unplugged," which is currently being finalized, is a special issue on sports. I have been following sports from various angles, and I have opened my eyes to the fun of sports items as fashion. Yes, it is simple. I was particularly interested in soccer shirts and jerseys, but I had always thought that jerseys were tacky. But this item made me realize that it was just an assumption. The use of tags on the sleeves of the tops, the treatment of the hems, the luster of the pants, the use of zips on the pockets, and so on, are all things that make this item more than just a jersey. By the way, I'm calling them jerseys, but their official name is track jackets and pants.

To put it bluntly, I really like the appearance of NANAMICA's sweatshirts. I think it comes from their pursuit of ease of movement and functionality, with raglan sleeves on the front and no seams on the back, for example. This "Sukipur shirt" can be worn high necked with the zip closed as shown in the photo, or unzipped like a classic sports shirt. The exquisite taste, which is both nostalgic and fresh, is hard to find. We will continue to be indebted to "NANAMICA" for updating the details without changing the essence of the shirt.

If we are not careful, we tend to stick to the basics, and our wardrobes tend to be full of navy, white, and black items. Looking at the colorful uniforms and shoes worn by the Olympic athletes at the recent Olympics, I feel that it would be boring to have only items that are described as "calm," "elegant," or "chic. I feel that it would be boring to only have items that are described as "calm," "classy," or "chic. However, I also don't have the courage to wear a lot of primary colors. These sneakers seem to be in between the two. The orange is a nice accent amidst the somewhat melancholy colors such as dark red and light blue. Combined with the modern seamless design, it's like a perfect baseball hit that falls between the infield and outfield.

Half looking forward to it, half dreading it. This is how I feel at the beginning of the fall and winter season. You are waiting with baited breath for when your order will arrive, and then suddenly the cash on delivery arrives, and it is quite a shock.
I was first introduced to the appeal of this knitwear when I was interviewed for a special issue of "Finam Unplugged" featuring the United States, and coincidentally, I placed an order for this damaged knitwear from "Palm Angels" at an exhibition that was held right after that issue. I have often seen plain knits with damage processing, but the use of a cable knit as a base was unusual, and I was attracted by the sense of discomfort, which I could not understand whether it was classy or not. I have ordered a variety of items this season, but I am actually looking forward to receiving this one the most. Most people won't understand it when they try it on, and I'm sure I'll get a lot of flack everywhere I go, but it's so full of charm that I don't care about that.

One of the most successful purchases of the 16SS season was a pair of denim pants from . In the pastshopping addictIn addition to the black introduced in the previous section, I later purchased the blue of the same model. I really recommend the unique silhouette of the tapered, extra-thick, and short length, and I like it so much that I still spend most of the week in rotation between those two pairs. And here they are in their fall/winter edition. The red pants may sound like a rather harsh line, but the warmth and depth of the thick-ribbed corduroy gives them a classic, soft impression. If you wear them with a plain sweatshirt or knit top, you should be able to wear them without any discomfort at all.

Except for outerwear, I have always been uncomfortable with open-fronted clothes like cardigans and zip-up hoodies, and I rarely even wear shirts in my life. I feel uncomfortable when the front is open, and it's easier to just throw on a cool pullover and call it a day.... For me, the pullover shirt released by Arledge this season is an ideal piece. The silver half-zip makes a strong statement in a subtle way, and the wool fabric, which is somewhere between a shirt and a blouson, gives it a unique volume. In the look, a red knit was worn as an inner layer, and it is so impressive that we would like to copy it as it is.

Last year, he wrote, "The Broken ArmWhen I discovered a pair of sneakers at the "Salomon" store in Tokyo, they completely overturned my image of "Salomon" until then. They were a fashion-focused collection called "BLACK LAB LIMITED EDITION," which arrived in Japan shortly after. I missed out on purchasing a pair at the time after much deliberation, but I have just received good news that a new version is being released. This time, I'm going to get the "SPEEDCROSS" model for trail runners. However, I just bought a pair of black AIR MAX on impulse the other day, and the SAMBA from "adidas Consortium" is also black, so I'm a little fed up with myself.

The hot summer is over and winter is glimpsed beyond the short autumn. As Ichiko Aoba sings in her song "Haru-natsu aki fuyu," I would like to capture the four seasons in a fresh and fresh way. I also feel this way about clothes.
Token Surfboards is a surf brand from Brooklyn. The brand's designs are clearly unorthodox in the surf fashion world, where nature and the tropics are the norm. The graphics, which even have a cold, urban feel, have a mood sympathetic to the sci-fi movies of the 80s and 90s. The phrase "TOTAL LOVE" has a literary depth. I was attracted by the nostalgic and dark sci-fi flavor, reminiscent of the APPLE commercial "1984" directed by Ridley Scott. Speaking of science fiction, the sequel to "Blade Runner" will be released, and while I'm looking forward to it, I'm also a little nervous about it, but I'm sure I'll still watch it.

I have wanted this for a long time." The feeling of "I've wanted this for a long time" is precious. With the development of the Internet and other infrastructures, the hurdles to distribution have dropped dramatically, and there are few things that cannot be found. That is why I feel the romance of "exquisite unobtainability. The bags from "Tseptepi" are rare gems that tickle men's fancy. As you can imagine, delivery is guerrilla-style, as the bags are made by the company itself. This is a special order item for M.I.U. in Nakameguro. It is made of cuben fiber and polyester, a cuben hybrid material, and is tougher and thicker than the inline version. The stock seems to be running out now, but there are plans to restock the item on an irregular basis. Keep checking Instagram. I want to use it and make it wrinkled and crumpled. I really like the way this looks on my back.

For those of us who only pick up gray, navy, black, brown, and other less saturated clothing, it's time to choose orange. We understand the feeling of being intimidated by brightness. However, it goes surprisingly well with the orthodox colors mentioned above, and most importantly, doesn't it make you feel like a good guy wearing it? Don't you think Gen Hoshino would wear this? People who wear beautiful knitwear from Auralee are free from littering, envy, jealousy, lies, and calculations. They say that your personality comes out in your face, but I am sure that the way you dress reflects your thoughts more. You can't choose your face, but you can choose your clothes. So, paradoxically, why not start being a good person with your clothes? I don't have to tell you how good the colors are and how pleasant they feel on the skin. Not surprisingly, the words "orange" and "good person" remind me of the national group, but anyway, let's go with "Be a Good Man" this fall and winter.

The Vans' Mountain Edition sneakers, with a pale pink logo on pale gray suede. Tokyo's leading brand "Komori" and Tokyo's leading store "Wism" have teamed up to release this season's hottest collaboration sneaker. The three-way collaboration has a chic, street-style flavor with a finish that only a three-way collaboration can deliver. While there is nothing wrong with building the sneaker itself in a decorative manner, this pair, which was created by working backwards from the style, is truly sophisticated.

It is already September. My mood is shifting to autumn. I am repeatedly simulating in my mind what kind of fashion I will enjoy this year. Here are some items that are currently on my mind.
Exhibition to be held at Matsuzakaya Museum of Art in Nagoya from September 11, after traveling to Kyoto and Tokyo.Paul Smith Exhibition HELLO, MY NAME IS PAUL SMITHAs introduced in Huinamu, there is a renewed interest in "Paul Smith". As introduced in Kyoto in the Huinamu, attention to Paul Smith is now renewed, and the 2016-'17 fall/winter men's collection is a return to the brand's roots, with a focus on stripes, prints, and tailoring. The focus of the collection was on stripes, prints, and tailoring. One of the pieces that caught our attention was a single, big silhouette coat with split buttons. At first glance, it appears to be a basic design, but the lining is made of a shiny orange material. The bright orange color that can be seen from the front of the coat as you walk is striking. The casual humor typical of Paul Smith is hidden in the details. The outer fabric is smooth cashmere. This is a recommended piece to be the star of this winter.

The color, inspired by military wear, is fresh and goes well with thick chinos and jeans. It is also recommended as an inner layer for jackets and outerwear, making it a piece that can be used throughout the season. Other new colors in the lineup include grayish sand and F. green.

They feature thick belt loops and a button to hook suspenders on the inside, as well as a cinch back on the back of the trousers.

The "Chambord" is a model representing the French shoe manufacturer "Paraboot. This manufacturer itself is characterized by a rugged form that retains traces of its origins in work shoes. Because the leather soaked in oil sufficiently is combined with the rubber sole manufactured in-house, there is no problem at all if it rains a little, and it is possible to wear it regardless of the season. We recommend wearing them with a dressy jacket style as well as a rough outfit with old chinos. The nice thing is that as you wear them, they adapt to the shape of your feet. They are a little pricey, but they are a good pair to have in your shoe closet.
