Mr. Akira Akimoto, a model that makes use of its unwavering personality and makes it easy to wear items with edges. Now that you have gained attention from the world, what do you think about your commitment to fashion and your style that you have established? This time, we listened to the story at the select shop "k3", which deals with the brand "G.V.G.V." that Akimoto often wears for a long time.

“I like what Mug makes.”
The charm of the select brand "G.V.G.V."
"k3 (K3)" is a theme of street x mode x art, which selects up-and-coming independent brands with an exquisite atmosphere. The central brand is "G.V.G.V." that Akimoto has been using since he also served as "G.V." "G.V.G.V. loves the clothes that Mr. Mug makes and wears them well. I like to choose while chatting at exhibitions, and I often drop in the shop and shop. Now I'm no longer wearing it, but I have a lot of thoughts and my favorite items are kept at home in a safe place. I especially liked the insect series.”
Taking care of relationships with people,
Enjoying the change
"Like today, at first glance, it's completely black, but I've recently been worried about putting a color on the inner. I think that my taste and the clothes that Mr. Mag makes change year by year, but I still have many favorite items. It's really fun to choose clothes while saying it! This season, I'm looking at leather items, so I'm humming to shop today (laughs)," says Akimoto. In terms of change, the brand is the same. G.V.G.V. uses eco-leather instead of genuine leather this season, such as popular outerwear familiar and skirt worn by Akimoto. In addition, k3 has made environmentally friendly attempts such as producing paid shoppers.

This is the real pleasure of a select shop
A world that spreads from the brand you want
Akimoto is looking around the store where your favorite brands gather. I asked him again about the charm. "G.V.G.V. is attractive because there are unexpected items such as "I can punch there." Moreover, since k3 is a select shop, I like the new brand I know there, and when I go there, I feel that I have everything. It's nice to check out different brands from your own perspective."

Independent Brands
"FACETASM" women's items, which can only be handled at limited stores, select items that can be said to be the signature of the brand, which is a mix of neon kolor's sporty materials and classic materials. "Eytys" based in Stockholm is famous for its thick sneakers, but this season we will also pay attention to the model <FUGU>, which is attractive for its innovative modeling beauty. In addition, there are lineups with high sensitivity, such as "Carne Bollente" with a graphic on sexual themes and "SWEET SKTBS", a Swedish-born skate brand.

It was made with the image of a Japanese house
A calm space
I was absorbed in the products I care about one after another and forgot, but don't forget to stick to this interior. The interior of the restaurant is inspired by a sushi restaurant in Tokyo, and is made using only cypress and concrete. The atmosphere is warm, such as reusing the ranma received by the representative from a Japanese house quite a long time ago. Mr. Akimoto also seemed relaxed from beginning to end, and enjoyed watching the products slowly.
