All costumes are "PUBLIC TOKYO." Long coat ¥46,200, neck knit ¥12,100, long skirt ¥20,900, boots ¥19,800

The first thing I visited was PUBLIC TOKYO, a wear brand that pursues urban standards based on traditional Japanese technology. We propose a high-quality casual style that wears a slight item through original items that are particular about Japan maid. "It's a brand that I sometimes look into in my private life. The costumes prepared for today are also nice! ", says Kojirin.

Wool velour stand collar coat ¥38,500 with impressive stand collar. "There is a Christmas feeling and it's perfect for this season," she smiled.

I'm looking for a long coat these days. This item has a cute sense of volume around the neck." Try on the wool coat. While filling my face in a large stand collar, "I want to wear this way."……"he said with an annoying expression.

The fluffy feeling and gradation color of the mohair is eye-catching.

Kojiri-san wears a fluffy mohair cardigan and looks innocently into her face from the fitting room, saying, "How about?" "The gradation color is very beautiful. It has a unique atmosphere, but it seems to be easy to match because it has black. I'm worried about the warm knit in winter."

The waist hook and knee slit design create an edgy atmosphere. Hook waist slit pants ¥26,400. "I really like a design with a habit."

―What kind of fashion do you like?

 

Kojima: "My longing is a cool and elegant woman image. It is often unified with whole body monotone so that it can be as close as possible to that image. This year, I was aiming for color accessories that could be an accent to my outfit, and the last colorful stole I tried on was perfect for my current mood. The bottoms are standard pants or long skirts."

 

―Do you have anything to keep in mind when coordinating?

 

Kojima: "Because the shoulder width is wide and the skeleton is firm, I try to choose items with an inconspicuous bone shape. If you wear loose knitwear or A-line silhouette clothes that you wear today, you will see the line of your body beautifully."

Colorful block shaggy stole ¥16,500, which looks great in winter outfits that tend to be heavy.
