Interview with Naomi Shimizu
What are the key points to enjoying autumn and winter fashion?
As the weather gets colder, dark-toned coat styles become more common, so we recommend adding a colorful item like the Edna knitwear to create a playful look. As we become adults, we tend to become less adventurous, but many people say that they can have fun with accessories. If everything is simple, it's boring, so try adding unique accessories like bags and vintage jewelry to give it an autumn/winter feel.
What are your rules when it comes to fashion?
I value my "current mood," such as what I want at the time and the style I want to wear at the time. I don't buy things I don't like, and I don't compromise. I like to go to stores without thinking and enjoy the chance encounters. Fashion is a living thing, so I always go to the store and touch the actual items before buying.
What fashion item is essential for you?
I love handbags, and there are many that I continue to use without getting tired of them. In winter, I wear coats and knitwear, so I recommend a handbag that won't damage my clothes. I especially love the SC bag by Louis Vuitton designed by Sofia Coppola, and I have three in different sizes. Haha. Bag trends change more rapidly than shoes, but I like classic handbags that match any style.
What are some of your must-have items for autumn and winter?
Tulle and ribbon items. Renaissance Renaissance's tulle items are cute when layered like a belt over a dress or pants. Autumn and winter are the seasons where you can enjoy layering colorful items as a surprise addition. When incorporating colorful items with distinctive textures, first include everything you want to wear in your outfit, and then subtract elements to create a well-balanced look. This season, MARIE-HELENE DE TAILLAC 's accessories are also worth checking out!
