Momoko Fukuchi x HIGASHI| My starting point for the future. Take care of the inner “awakening”

A talented, up-and-coming designer
"HIGASHI" where creations gather

HIGASHI, a concept store where you can experience up-and-coming Asian brands with different identities, opened on the 3rd floor of Shibuya PARCO in September this year. In addition to "soduk" designed by designer Tsukasa Kudo, "leinwände" established by Japanese designers living in London, "PERVERZE", "BIGOTRE", "UNTISHOLD", "Fauvirame", "HAENGNAE", "TELOPLAN", "CONTROL FILTER", and "COCHI", it is a fashion culture centered on Japan brands.

The stimulation that new clothes bring.
It is also an opportunity to know your inner self.

Momoko Fukuchi wearing a "TELOPLAN" knit (Kenzie Knit) designed by designer Lin Li, who completes the bare skin as part of the garment and proposes a design that has been reconstructed so that it fits more well with women's body. The hand-knitted knit of recycled polyester blend is very warm and you can enjoy even one piece without outerwear.
"Mr. Fukuchi has a shirt that looks good," I told HIGASHI here, and I have a few items such as soduk items. I don't often have the opportunity to wear the bright shades of clothes that I wear today, but while shooting, "Green is like!" It looks good!' And I had everyone tell me, and I felt the power of clothes that naturally brighten the place. When you try new clothes, your mood changes more and more, and you can learn what you are interested in now by what you have in the shop you visit. I think it will be fun to get out of town.”

Traditional items that are inherited
Change your own way of enjoying yourself.

“I like clothes that are easy to move and work clothes. Mr. Fukuchi picked up the blue denim of "TELOPLAN" while saying, "I wish I could meet the clothes that are comfortable and calm." This is a rare denim model created in commemoration of the opening of the Shibuya PARCO store in HIGASHI, following the popular brand trouser silhouette.
"I took over the clogs that my mother used, but my nose was hurt and it was loose. I changed my nose at a shop in Asakusa where a geta craftsman is present. Then you will get more and more to fit your feet. In autumn and winter, we wear colorful five-finger socks with clogs. It will be cute when paired with this denim. I like it very easy to use,” Mr. Fukuchi.

“For what you were interested.
First of all, I wanted to take care of them.”

In 2019, he also appeared in the long-awaited morning drama in the NHK serial TV novel "Natsuzora", and played Yumiko, who has a relationship like a heroine and sister, and became a person who has a hot gaze.
"The interest I met by chance has led to the current form of wanting to work on various works in the form of a play. When I first told him about it, my mother felt unexpectedly. At that time, when I was interested in "I want to know more", I have a strong desire to value "walking" first. I wasn't interested in a wide range of things, so I tried to challenge the interests I met with with the idea of "do not miss". I remember my first job very well, and when I recall the time, I said, "I was working hard." Looking back, there are many things, but rather than always setting goals for the future, I feel that I am always facing each job I have received. 10 years later, I want to look back and work hard without regrets.”
