I would like to ask you from what point of view you select your clothes and accessories. I have the impression that you are good at mode styling.
Yes, I wear a lot of fashionable clothes, and I also wear tight-fitting clothes such as dresses. However, I thought denim would go better with this bag, so I decided to go with a casual style today.
How do you choose the items that are staples for you?
I am gradually collecting items from brands that I have admired for a long time. For example, a smoking jacket from "Saint Laurent" or a suit from "Chanel. I am particularly attracted to brands with a long history and brands that have completely changed the way women dress. I often find myself thinking, "These classic items are good, after all.
What is the key to incorporating leather items into your collection?
Leather has a crisp look, but I like to dare to wear it with rough items. For example, when paired with gray knitwear and lace items like today's, the leather tightens the style and balances it out. Surprisingly, it also goes well with sweeter styles, making it easy for women to wear.
This bag is made with an emphasis on durability, and is made to last a long time. In particular, the corners are reinforced, so you can enjoy the change in expression as you use it, and this look is also interesting when the edges are folded.
That kind of attention to detail is good. I enjoy taking care of good items and using them in my daily life to bring out their flavor, as I do with jackets and the like. I prefer to use them roughly rather than using them too neatly. I feel that this bag can be handled in that way. I like the fact that it has a solid design, which gives it a sophisticated impression.
Some people say that even if the clothes are not so great, it is a good idea to have proper shoes and bags.
Yes, I think so. But I still think that is a young person's idea. From my experience of wearing many different kinds of clothes over the years, I would buy a jacket that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then try my best to wear it. And when I try it on, I still feel its value. And because of my job, I know how much time the designers put into making this one item, so I have to respect them. Stylists are not able to create items by themselves, but rather choose from what is available, so I think it is cool that people are particular about what they create.
I see from your experience that you are willing to pay for high quality products.
Yes, I do. As I have gotten older, my desire to choose well-made, good quality products with solid value has become stronger.
