Mr. Nagao is attracting attention for his style with an edge and appears in various fashion media. When asked about the secrets of dressing, he replied unexpectedly, "I often move around at work, so I emphasize ease of movement." It is probably because of the polished sensibilities that you can stick to your own world view without being too strange. As the director of the select shop "Sister", she had a busy day trip around Shibuya PARCO like a holiday. What did you touch her heart with certain eyes?

It emphasizes not only design but also functionality. “A.P.C.” to bring out the individuality of the wearer
The first thing I visited was "A.P.C.", the first store in the Shibuya area. The interior of the store, which has a wide frontage and easy to enter, is a woody interior made of oak wood. It is warm and has a brand-like French chic espuri. "A.P.C." is popular with a wide range of generations, and Mr. Nagao is one of the fans. "I'm always wearing men's wear here. Actually, the black knit that I wore today is the same. It's very comfortable to wear because it's both made and functional."

The theme color is "black". Genderless jacket style
Nagao's eyes were men's black work jacket. The white stitches add contrast to the vintage-like denim fabric. "I'm attracted to the design that incorporates military elements such as large pockets. The size of XS is also exquisite." Both shoes and bags showed off their clothes with a unified core in black. At the store, we are also developing collaborative sandals with the footwear brand "Suicoke". Lightweight thick bottom soles provide comfortable comfort.
The charm of vintage denim that will be handed down.
A sustainable perspective is also a point.
The Shibuya PARCO store is also a target store for the Butler Program. If you bring your old A.P.C. Rohde Nim Jeans, you can exchange them for a new one at half price as long as they are judged to be in good color fading or condition. The lining of the collected jeans is marked with the initials of the previous owner and is sold again as "Batler Jeans". In addition to the unique charm of the expression that has been worn for years, it is also important to pay attention to the sustainable viewpoint that leads to reduction of waste.

Among them, the most popular is the "JOHN DERIAN" plate with motifs from vintage pictorial books and magazines. Mr. Nagao stopped the cushions and mascots of the NY embroidery brand "CORAL & TUSK". The animal motif with a surreal touch is lovely. You will also be fascinated by the pure white pottery of "ASTIER DE VILLATTE" from Paris.

A treasure trove of items that you want to present
"I often buy my friend's present here," says Nagao. One of them is the masterpiece of La Soufflerie, a glass studio in Paris, a flower vase with a face motif. Hand-blew glass, which is mainly recycled glass, does not have the same shape as one, and it is fun to choose. I asked Mr. Nagao, who likes to give gifts to others, how to choose gifts. "All, don't make it easy. I go to distant places and think carefully about their opponents and choose them."

"You don't have to scatter the ashes. I want it for my home!" 。 In addition, she likes tea and buys a blend tea of "BELLOCQ" from NY.
