Aki ABE x EYETHINK / Lui's/EX/store / Kushikatsu Arata | At the beginning of a new season, find yourself in a borderless place

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

Lui's/EX/store is a select shop for adults who enjoy the moment freely. With the theme of "meeting place" where nature and people gather, the interior of the store is surrounded by sophisticated atmosphere with a circle-shaped monument that looks like an art work. In the spacious shop, the best brands in Japan and overseas are lined up alongside men's women. "In a good sense, it wasn't 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 I have a lot of thoughts. I think there are trends in the times, but it has become even simpler. Now that I was an adult, I thought I had everything that was easy to wear." On this day, he chose a simple blue shirt oversize. "I like long shirts a lot. This is a beautiful color, and it is a beautiful color.”

Wear what you like for a long time
Accessories that can be used as a substitute for amulet

Lui's is characterized by its rich assortment of accessories as well as clothes. What Mr. Abe picked up was a swamp-wide bucket hat. It is simple yet thick and slightly shiny, and it is attractive for a casual design that does not roll too much. Next, I stopped the corner of the accessory that has a strong presence. Lui's, where you can get high-quality items at affordable prices, including Silver 925, which is particular about cutting, is well-established as easy to try even people who can't usually wear accessories. "Anything is a type that wears everything, but only accessories are stubborn. Basically, you choose gold that suits your skin. The ring I wear has never changed. 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 lapis lazuli on the back, and the front is an eight-pointed star. It has a strong sense of protection.”

Shopping in a seamless space
What attracts women's fashion?

At the 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. "I'll look around the ladies in the shop, and if there's something I can wear, I'll buy it. This is especially the old clothes.” The thick bottom clocks that I was worried about during the shop cruise and tried on are also Women's's. I asked him who enjoys genderless fashion and how to dress her favorite woman. "Anything is fine if it suits you, but I hope you don't 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 at Lui's. Among them, FUMIE TANAKA's Katyusha is one of the popular items where you can enjoy the world view of the brand, with one piece and pants made of jacquard fabric made of the same material.

It penetrates the natural body while wearing a gorgeous color pattern
A comfortable gap that can be found in people

Mr. Abe wears a blue shirt he wears this time and even a colored pattern that attracts his eyes. Every kolor is stocked at home, from the bright red to the awakening royal blue, yellow and green. "You like color, right? When you wear a strong color, you don't have special emphasis, but the tension increases, after all." While wearing a vivid color, the behavior of standing still is natural. He says he's not good at decorating, and he's trying to be as plain as possible on stage. "It's a cool look, so if you're wearing just black, you'll see tough people, so maybe you're balancing your clothes. In that sense, I think it's a good gap with myself in front of the camera." There is no front and back, and it is not bound by the public image. Not soaked in any color, he enjoys his swing freely in fashion.
