Who is your favorite designers and why?
So many designers to choose from. Lately been obsessed with Givenchy for its bold prints and roomy fit; Tom Ford for not afraid to express your sexuality through clothing; Alexander McQueen for its sharp tailoring; and Prada for her intellectual sensibility through fashion.
What is your favorite piece of clothing in your closet?
I am obsessed with Uniqlo stretch denim legging. It's comfortable and flattering on the body. I own several pairs because it is easy to wear.
When did you start liking clothes?
I think I am aware of fashion when I am a small kid. My mother has a strong sense of fashion and it is a last fun watching what she's wearing. She wore tight faux leather legging in the 80s before it became fashionable.
What is on your wish list?
I want a Birkin Black 40 CM. That's all ...
Do you like shirt, jacket, pants or shoes more?
Shoes ... Last component to elevate your outfit ..
Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme
Shoe News: Paul Smith
When you see Paul Smith men's shoes, look at the details and you'll be impressed. Original, creative, impressive and very cool designs, traditional with a twist. You won't be bored with a pair of Paul Smith shoes.

Autumn, Time For Layering
Autumn, my favorite season, time to layer and layer. This is a great idea to do yourself if you like. Play with colors or even monotone colors, keep layering until you get the look you want.

I like Yosuke Aizawa of 'White Mountaineering'.He was one of the 4 original designers to create Junya Watanabe for Comme Des Garcons.His designs are simple yet very eccentric in textiles and fabric.He doesn't fit the mold, but recently I feel the mold is trying to fit him.
What is your favorite piece of clothing in your closet?
Hmm, thats a hard one.I have an off yellow Dries Van Noten Summer trench thats really interesting.The back drapes in a very interesting way.
When did you start liking clothes?
Probably during the early eighties,when my older brother turned me on to New Wave and skate punk style and music.
What is on your wish list?
A pair of semi recent Kris Van Aschee tennis shoes, Bernhard Willhelm sandals and a 3 year old White Mountaineering back pack designed by Porter.The back pack is the priority of the three..
Do you like shirt, jacket, pants or shoes more?
Shoes, but only when it can relate to the rest of the pieces well. Its like the icing on the cake.

All of my TOKIO KUMAGAI pieces (shoes and cloths). Now some of them don’t suit me but some day I can merge myself in TOKIO’s style. This is why I continue collecting his works.
When did you start liking clothes?
Since high-school. I’m 4th and last kid in my family, so that I had put my brothers’ clothes on in my childhood. It was the moment that I could choose cloths by myself. I adored ‘digging’ at closeout sale in Hankyu department store of Osaka city (one of the coolest department stores in Japan) : there I found Issey, Y’s, zucca and so on.

I don’t know when I’d be able to get, but a simple and beautiful uni-sex style bag without brand tag, of exotic leather as snake, lizard or crocodile ! Maybe tote or shoulder bag.

Shoes, of course.

Who is your favorite designers and why?
Favorite designer?!.....Hummm it may change over the seasons..Yet, when I pick up a new item or I say I like a certain piece of clothing it always has something in common and that is a Yohji Yamamoto detail... So I definitely say I really Like the real Yohji Yamamoto style. The reason: While you look at a certain piece of clothing you dont see it but look carefully and you will see the YY detail that makes all the difference. That being said I also like very much Biyan from Indonesia and DVN.
