A closet that expands your range of expression
〇Month x Sun
There are many ways to express yourself in this world.
From intangible things like communicating through words and using your body to tangible things like drawing and cooking.
Furthermore, I think fashion is also a tool to express yourself.
I am 170cm tall.
When I was a student, I really had a complex about being this tall.
At that time, there were no cute designs for XL size, and when it came to shoes, Nike was the men's choice.
That's why, "My life wasn't fun. So I created my own life."
Following the famous words left by the great Coco Chanel, I decided to take advantage of my height by cutting my hair short and wearing more men's clothing, or by remaking clothes I bought at second-hand clothing stores. Have you ever tried making your own originals with your own hands?
Now that I'm an adult, there are brands for tall girls and cute heels for people over 25cm tall, and it's easier than ever to wear the clothes I've wanted to wear, giving me a wider range of fashion. Now you can expand.
One of the joys of being an adult is that you can now spend money on fashion.
Here at ``willow yamanashi'' you can find items that will help you coordinate your outfit and take the first step towards adulthood.
Willow Yamanashi, which opened in Showa-cho in December 2022, is a select shop that handles items from domestic and international brands that are not influenced by trends, as well as custom-made suits, bags, and shoes selected by the owner, Mr. Hosaka.
The interior of the store is an open boutique, with items arranged by brand and type as if they were carefully placed in their own space.
Vitamin colors are sprinkled throughout, making it exciting just to look at it.
This bag is for traveling.
I was invited to wear this outfit.
...I feel like my creativity is working and my sensibilities are being sharpened.
The one that stood out was Hermès, which features a healthy orange color.
According to my research, there are only a few stores in Yamanashi Prefecture that carry it (or rather, none...?), so you'll rarely see it, so be sure to check it out when you visit.
I go to this place because I can enjoy encountering unique items.
The best part is that you can see the texture and size of the item by actually seeing it with your eyes and touching it, and you can experience the premium feeling and exhilaration you get when you encounter it.
And it's a luxury only available to adults. It feels like a made-to-order world.
I think the appeal of custom-made products is that you can solve all of your concerns, such as your own preferences and body shape.
In addition to shirts and jackets made by affiliated tailors, you can also order shoes.
You can feel the dignity of an adult in the delicate details that exquisitely change the color depending on the lighting.
Someday, I would like to make a jacket that fits my body shape.
Thinking about this, I looked down and saw a bag in the made-to-order corner!
“What, can you make this too?!”
"Of course. This is also my work bag," said the owner, Mr. Hosaka, showing me his personal bag, which is a nice greige color with a bright yellow lining that gives you energy.
This is a good size for a work bag and the leather is soft...!!
I have no doubt that you can make the cutest bag in the world.
It's my birthday soon, so I thought I'd order some as a reward for myself to work hard ♡
Back then, because I was wearing men's clothes, I was able to realize that short hair looked surprisingly good on me, and that there were certain clothes that looked good because of my height.
Because I made that choice at the time, I am now able to overcome my complex.
Currently, I am working as an editor, and although I am still inexperienced, I think that my ``own style'' will be established in the future.
Trends change. But style is eternal.
Someday, you will become an adult woman who sticks to her own style by increasing the number of drawers that expand not only the range of coordination, but also the range of expression.
