--You used to be an apparel model for narifuri, but what is your brand image again?

I think that many of the clothes are not too stoic, but are appropriately relaxed in a good sense. I like the basic designs that are functional for riding a bicycle, but can also be worn casually in everyday life. There is a wide range of colors to choose from.

--What were your impressions of the new Multi-Waffle Series?

It feels good against the skin and has plenty of width for easy movement. Waffle fabric is often worn with so-called “underwear,” but this is a thicker fabric, so I wondered if wearing it alone would be a problem. You can wear it like a sweatshirt.

--The half-zip sweatshirt was also a good fit.

Thank you very much. I also work in the field, so I tend to choose what I call “work” or “military” gear. Thumb holes and side pockets are very useful.

--Last but not least, what would you like to do in the spring?

I am excited now because I will soon start planting potatoes. Also, a friend gave me a bicycle, so I would like to visit public bathhouses in the neighborhood.

＜ Tote bag from THE UNION ＞

This bags is from “THE UNION,” the brand of Kohei Makita, my sento (public bathhouse) master. I love the rugged look of the fabric used in MA-1s and other products.

＜ SEIKO watch ＞

It is a diver's watch, but it is small and easy to use. It is also used in the field, so it has some scratches on it, but I guess that is just part of its charm (laughs).

＜ KEIMEN key chain ＞

A key holder made in collaboration with “MAG REEL”. It is an indispensable tool for daily life with keys for cars and bicycles.

--What is the point of today's coordinate?

Since I wore a gray hoodie, I chose darker bottoms as well. To keep it from becoming too simple, I added some personality with damaged denim.

--Have you tried wearing waffle fabric items and how did you like them?

I've never had a waffle fabric garment in my personal collection, but it's soft and comfortable. It is lightweight and I discovered that “I can wear it smoothly!” I also discovered that it is lightweight and can be worn smoothly. The hoodie I wore today also comes in a variety of colors, and there are many colors that women would like!

--I heard that you like to be active and go out, but what do you usually do on your off days?

I go to cafes with friends for chats, and when I have time, I also go on trips. This year I went on a solo trip to Sendai. The beef tongue was delicious!　Recently I have been into ethnic food restaurants, and I am addicted to a Thai restaurant called “Chao Bamboo” in Harajuku.

＜ UNIQLO shorts ＞

These shorts come in handy when you want a rough styling. They are comfortable and cosy, and are useful from spring to summer.

＜ Sunglasses by TEMU ＞

I recently purchased this item from the online store. It is an oval type and will help accentuate a simple coordinate like today. I am surprised that it costs less than 1,000 yen!

＜ ETCE cap ＞

It's from a Korean brand, and I love the slightly damaged and faded camouflage pattern. I also like the form itself, with its clean silhouette and shallow fit.

Shohei Matsubara

ÉDIFICE WEB visual coordinator
After working as a sales representative at the popular select store “ÉDIFICE”, he moved to his current position. She manages the brand's SNS and YouTube. In her free time, she enjoys cycling on her newly purchased bicycle and taking pictures of scenery and friends with her film camera.

--First of all, what is the brand image of narifuri?

Like the waffle sweatshirt I wore today, I imagine there are many garments that fit easily into everyday styling. And there are also some thoughtful gimmicks scattered throughout, such as pockets and stretch fabrics that allow for easy movement, which is nice.

--What is the point of today's coordinate?

Since I wore a white waffle sweatshirt, I also unified the entire outfit with light colors. However, I also adjusted the colors with the waist pouch and suspenders so that it would not be too flimsy.

--I heard that you recently bought a bicycle, have you gone out anywhere?

I don't travel far, but I often go to Shibuya and Shinjuku. I have recently become addicted to cameras, so I often take pictures of cityscapes and people.

＜ Various waist pouches ＞

A waist pouch is essential when going out, as putting your phone, wallet, keys, etc. in your pockets will ruin the silhouette of your pants. Most brands are from outdoor brands such as “Patagonia” and “MEI”.

＜ CONTAX film camera ＞

I like cameras and have several, but I recently purchased a CONTAX film SLR. I like the texture of the photos and the unique sound of the shutter, which is different from that of digital cameras.

＜ SURLY bicycle ＞

I always wanted a bicycle when I moved to the city, and I came across this one when I was doing some research. I've had it customized in places, and it comes in handy when I'm getting around town.
