Nishi Kohito (INI) × AMBUSH®WORKSHOP 2 | The beginning of the originality of personality

A rebellious spirit that dwells in a limited personality
AMBUSH®23AW was inspired by uniforms.

The AMBUSH® 2023 AW collection focuses on "uniform style" that symbolizes both orthodox and antibone spirit in any era. Inspired by students traveling around the city of Shibuya, the home of the brand, and by Kinji Fukasaku's movie "Battle Royal" (released in 2000), designer YOON set a character that will allow students to go to a private school after the late-night rave party recreated last season. The traditional monochrome color palettes unique to uniforms with blue and navy scattered details, such as straps and harnesses, bring individuality to the single and "restricted personality" of uniforms, embodying the uniqueness of AMBUSH®.

AMBUSH® is a longing for me.
Know the free expression of personality

Koto Nishi wears a school-style sleeveless hoodie that claims to be "AMBUSH ACADEMY" with an oversized coat like a harness attached to a school-style sleeveless hoodie, and wears a solid rave boots that can be said to be a symbol of the brand. It looks like a school uniform at first glance, but it is also a self-expression that takes off the uniform and pursues pure selfishness freely.

"I've been to the AMBUSH® shop with Taji (Shogo Tajima) before. I've always been a favorite brand for me, so I was very happy to be able to actually wear it like this today. I think I could have become a different person.…It was really fun. I met Mr. VERVAL once at a party through an acquaintance and exchanged contact information. The clothes I wore today were so cool that I wanted to buy AMBUSH® clothes as a reward for me."

Accessories with strong and invincible aesthetics
The character of "self"

"I think fashion is my own personality. Those who can express what they like directly. I really like to expand my imagination through clothes, saying, "I guess that person has such a character," or "I guess this person likes this." My own private clothes are quite a lot of stuffy accessories (laughs). I don't know why.…That kind of dress has become my stance. The heart chain necklace I found today symbolizes my mood now," says Nishi. "PAVE HEART PADLOCK CHAIN NECKLACE" made of silver 925 with Swarovski heart padlock charm is Shibuya PARCO limited to the 3rd anniversary. Unique and bold playfulness with a large original chain. It has a strong and unbeatable AMBUSH®-like aesthetic that boosts the personality of the wearer.

"I like you are good at things,"
If you recite the words in your heart, you can return to the beginning.

AMBUSH® is the leading trend in Barak Raba, with its fluffy touch rabbit ears and teddy bear-like ears. On this day, Nishi took on the challenge of Barak Raba for the first time in his life. "I wanted to create a mysterious aura this fall and winter (laughs), so Barak Raba, who almost hides my face, was an item I wanted to try. It's nice to have a rave feeling!"

There are some aspects that I don't usually show. What kind of words do you think when you face your heart?

"I used to decorate my parents' house with the word "I will do my best to wait for my life" in my forehead. That's the right inscription for me all the time. But recently, I have valued the word "I like you are good at things." On the other hand, you don't like anything that you can't master. Then I don't have to do it.…I think so. When you stumble or worry, "Is this something you really like?" Let's think about it. Then I can return to my beginnings and understand my heart, "No, but I still like it." I can do my best without wonder."
