Kohito Nishi (INI)×AMBUSH® WORKSHOP 2| Beginning of the originality of oneself

A rebellious spirit that resides in a limited personality
AMBUSH® 23AW inspired by uniforms

The AMBUSH® 2023 AW collection focuses on “uniform style” that symbolizes both orthodox and anti-skeletal spirit in any era. Inspired by students coming and going through the city of Shibuya, the home of the brand, and by Kinji Fukasaku's movie Battle Royale (published in 2000), designer YOON set up characters to go to private schools after the late-night rave party recreated last season. In the traditional monochrome color palette of a uniform with blue and navy, genderless details such as straps and harnesses—it brings individuality to the single, “limited personality” of uniforms, embodies AMBUSH®.

With AMBUSH®,
Know the free expression of oneself

Koto Nishi wears an oversize coat that looks like a harness attached to a school-style sleeveless hoodie that claims to be "AMBUSH ACADEMY", and wears a heavy-handed rave boots that can be said to be a symbol of the brand. At first glance, it looks like a school uniform, 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. It has always been a brand I admire for, so I was very happy to be able to actually wear it this way today. It seems like you have become something different.…It was very fun. I met 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.”

An accessory with a strong and unbeatable aesthetic
He wears the character of himself.

"I think fashion is my own. You can express what you like directly. I really like to expand my imagination through clothes, saying, 'He's probably this kind of character' or 'He likes this kind of thing.' My own private clothes are quite elaborate accessories (laughs). I don't know why, but…This style has become my STANCE. The chain necklace I found today symbolizes what I feel right now,” says Nishi. "PAVE HEART PADLOCK CHAIN NECKLACE" made of silver 925 with Swarovski on heart padlock charm is a Shibuya PARCO exclusive item commemorating the 3rd anniversary. A unique and bold playful spirit that tells the big original chain. It has a strong and unbeatable AMBUSH® aesthetic that boosts even the personality of the wearer.

"What you like is good."
When you say that to your heart, you can return to your heart.

AMBUSH® is the driving force behind the trend in a unique Barak lava, such as a fluffy rabbit ear and a teddy bear-like design. On this day, Mr. Nishi took on the challenge of Barak Raba for the first time in his life. "I wanted to put out a mysterious aura this fall and winter (laughs), so Barak Lava, who almost hides my face, was an item I wanted to try. You can feel rape!”

There is a side that I don't usually show. When you face your heart, what words do you say?

"I put the words in my forehead and displayed them in my parents' house. That's always the right thing for me. But recently, I have valued the word "I like you should be good at things." In other words, what you can't do is that you don't like that much. Then you don't have to do it.…I think. When you get rid of it, you say, “Is this what you really like?” I think about it. Then you can go back to the beginning and say, "No, but you may like it." You will be able to do it without hesitation.”
