Vol. 47: Distinctive Sunglasses

Yusuke“In summer, I tend to wear T-shirts and short-sleeved shirts, so oversized, playful sunglasses are incredibly useful as a styling focal point. This season, there’s a particularly rich selection of interesting sizes and shapes, so I’ve divided them into two parts (the other is Vol. 50, released August 16th). When choosing, I prioritize ‘balance.’ For oversized or uniquely shaped frames, I might opt for a solid black. If the shape is more standard, I’ll select one with an interesting color combination or material. Something with a distinctive detail always stands out when worn. Recently, while moving, I counted over 200 pairs of sunglasses, filling an entire shelf. I tell myself I should stop buying, but I still find myself hoping for new and interesting releases. Among the ones I’ve picked this time, the hexagonal shape from Valentino and the elongated form from Gucci feel particularly fresh. They’re perfect accents for your summer outfits!” Each pair of sunglasses ¥48,000 (Balenciaga / Kering Eyewear Japan Customer Service 0800-555-1001) *Other items are the owner’s personal belongings.
