A talented, up-and-coming designer
HIGASHI, a collection of creations

HIGASHI, a concept store that allows you to experience up-and-coming Asian brands with different identity, opened on the 3rd floor of Shibuya PARCO in September this year. "Soduk" designed by designer Tsukasa Kudo, "leinwände" established by Japanese designers living in London, "PERVERZE", "BIGOTRE", "UNTISHOLD", "Fauvirame", "HAENGNAE", "TELOPLAN", "Control FILTER", "COCHI", etc. fashion centered on Japanese brands.

The stimulation brought by new clothes.
It's also an opportunity to know my inner self.

Momoko Fukuchi wearing a "TELOPLAN" knit (Kenzie Knit) designed by designer Lin Li, who has completed bare skin as part of clothes and proposes a design that has been reconstructed so that it can be more adapted to women's bodies. The hand-knit made of recycled polyester mixed yarn is very warm and you can enjoy it alone without an outerwear.
"I was taught this HIGASHI, saying, 'I have a shirt that looks good for Mr. Fukuchi," and I have some soduk items. I don't have the opportunity to wear clothes with vivid colors like I'm wearing today, but while shooting, "I like green! It looks good!' And everyone told me, and I felt the power of clothes that naturally brighten the place. When you try new clothes, your mood changes rapidly, and you can know what you are interested in now, depending on what you pick up at the shop you visit. Above all, I think it's a pleasure to go to the city."

Traditional items that have been handed down
Change it to your own way of enjoying it

"I like clothes that are easy to move and work clothes. Mr. Fukuchi picked up the bluedenim 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 "HIGASHI" Shibuya PARCO store, following the popular brand trouser silhouette.
"I took over the clogs that my mother used, but my thong hurt and became loose. I changed my thong at a shop in Asakusa where geta craftsmen come. Then, strangely, you will fit your feet more and more. In autumn and winter, we wear colorful five-fined socks with clogs. It's sure to be cute when combined with this denim. It's very easy to use and I like it," says Fukuchi.

"For what I was interested in
First of all, I wanted to value "walking together."

In 2019, he also appeared on the long-awaited morning drama in the NHK serial TV novel "Natsuzora", played Yumiko with a relationship like a heroine and sister, and became 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. I think my mother felt unexpectedly when I told him about it for the first time. At that time, when I was interested in "want to know more," I have a strong desire to first value "walking forward." I wasn't interested in a wide range of things, so I tried to challenge the interests I met with with the idea of "don't miss." I remember my first job very well, and when I recall that time, I said, "I was working hard." Looking back, there are a lot of things, but rather than always setting goals for the future, I feel that I always face each work I have received. I want to look back 10 years later than 10 years later and work hard so that I don't regret."
