Abe Ken Arashi x EYETHINK/Lui's/EX/store/ Kushikatsu Arata | At the beginning of a new season, a new self to find in a borderless place

You can enjoy fashion without gender
A refinement spot like an art space

"Lui's/EX/store" is a select shop for adults who can enjoy the present freely. The interior of the store, which is based on the theme of "meeting halls" where nature and people gather, is surrounded by sophisticated air with circle-shaped monuments like artworks. In the spacious shop, the most seasonal brands from Japan and abroad are lined up together with men's women. "In a good sense, I didn't look like a clothes shop, or I got the impression that I came to the gallery. When I was a student, I used Shinjuku Station, so I stopped by Lui's in Shinjuku on my way home and had a lot of thoughts. I think there are trends in the times, but it has become even simpler. Now that I'm an adult, I thought there are things that are easy to wear." On this day, the costume he chose was a simple blue shirt with an oversized size. "I like long shirts very much. This is very beautiful in color, and the exquisite coloring is good."

I will wear what I like for a long time.
Accessories that can be used as a substitute for amulet

Lui's feature is that it has a rich selection of accessories as well as clothes. Mr. Abe picked up a bucket hat with a spread of camellia. It's simple yet thick and slightly glossy, and the design that doesn't fall too much casual. Next, I stopped at the corner of the accessory that has a presence. Lui's, which offers high-quality items at affordable prices, including silver 925, which focuses on cutting, has a reputation for being easy for people who can't usually wear accessories to try. "It's a type that wears everything evenly, but only accessories are stubborn. Basically, choose the gold that suits your skin. The ring on it doesn't change much. The place to attach is not meaningful, but it is also attached to the left ring finger as a fashion. I also like natural stones, and the necklace I wear today has a lapisrazuri on the back, and the front is an eight-pointed star. The talismans have a strong meaning."

Shopping in a seamless space
What are you attracted by women's fashion?

At Lui's Shibuya store, where genderless items are lined up, female customers often buy men's items, and vice versa. Mr. Abe himself seems to have many opportunities to wear women's clothes. "In the shop, I look around the ladies and buy something I can wear. This is especially true of old clothes." I was worried during the shop cruise and tried on the thick bottom clocks are also women's. I asked him, who enjoys genderless fashion, about how a woman likes. "You can do anything if it suits you, but I think it's better not to feel uncomfortable. I like the style that has a sense of unity and conveys the commitment of the person." Women's accessories are also popular in Lui's. Among them, FUMIE TANAKA's Katusha is one of the popular items where you can enjoy the world view of the brand, with one-piece dresses and pants made of jacquard fabric of the same material.

While wearing a gorgeous color pattern, go through the natural body
Comfortable gaps found in people

Abe wears a blue shirt he wore this time and even an eye-catching color pattern. The outerwear on hand is stocked at home in all colors, from bright red to awakening royal blue, yellow and green. "I like colored things. When you wear a strong color, you don't put special emphasis on it, but the tension goes up, after all." While wearing a vivid color, the behavior of standing is natural. He says he's not good at decorating, and says he tries to stay as bare as possible on stage. "Because it's a cool look, if you wear it in black, it will be seen by tough people, so you might be well balanced with clothes. In that sense, I think it's a good gap between myself and myself in front of the camera." There is no front and back, and I am not bound by the public image. Not dyed in any color, he enjoys his swing freely in fashion.
