More fun Shibuya! People who work, learn people, play information site for people

I of "my city" Shibuya. For some reason, I'm relieved and come back here. - Andrea Ponpirio Mr.

Andrea Ponpirio who continue working in such as radio and television. As the main event of "Shibuya Fashion Week (SFW)", has been determined to be responsible for the navigator of the fashion show "SHIBUYA RUNWAY" to be held in Shibuya Street to 25th of this month (day). So now ahead of the weekend of events, from fashion items that Andy is attention now, we've heard the talk about Shibuya of involvement or images spent impressionable teens era.

■ fashion that his called "Let's summarize the identity".

What is the "fashion" for _ Andy?
"I do this" Tteyuu "I do this", I think that I think in a sense self-assertion. It is what leads to the identity of "their own raison d'etre." Of course, in the mood and situation at that time, but there is also a time to always wear a Bishitsu a different suit and, I think that a certain degree of style to come out bleeding with nature. I might be a combination of jacket and denim is often like a today.

Came to be aware of the identity is to fashion, from about late teens. Perhaps because that inherited the father of the blood of the Italians, you clothes and shoes were being attracted to the made in Italy. First of all, I think when all is said and done I material is good. In fact, even Italian shoes are wearing now. Or was still comfortable, or was calm at the time of wearing, fit is different other and at all. Of course, there Even to choose what 's not made in Italy in the favorite design. After all, because it is human, also it is run in completely different taste an affair. But, eventually it will return to the Made in Italy to settle down. From this experience, fashion and identity it was thought that is directly connected.

Women's fashion is also the same. I thing the woman is more because you look good (laughs). Point is, whether you are able to express their identity. Body silhouette and facial expressions, how to walk, such as .... In the fashion style is still No. 1 in which the characteristics of the person is out brew well, I think that's very beautiful.

But I have actually seen, I often waste Do I case. Pattern it does not at all match the fashion to a charming woman. Though normally cute when I wear a long skirt, in "Why it?" I feel like a, would have a sense of discomfort. Since the eyes to see the woman is tough, it will then critique really (laughs). Fashion is that their own called "Let's summarize the identity". Even just be aware of it, out is quite my style, I think the brackets get well.

_ Now, what is the fashion item of interest?
Ladies' Men's similar to it, but still wonder if accessories. Shoes and bags, accessories and watches. In particular, the important thing is shoes. Shoes for the adult male, I think the point that really stick.

Enough to be human, feet have a consciousness that has been always seen. I also so with eyes go to the opponent of shoes, we thought that probably have also seen their shoes. If dirty, because "this man, Do not stick to fashion" is seen immediately. When the shoe is useless, it will sink all also wore after all no matter how good the upper part. It is impressive that would destroy the overall balance of.

And shoes or Tsu poor, easy or scratched parts. Maintenance is also a great importance, but it is do I need to form, such as longevity. However, it does not become "too much (too much)". Myself nor is polished every morning the shoes. If you just do, just to consciousness is gone to brush, I would away from the purpose of the original fashion.

In addition, they say other than the design, also comfort important point. Shoes because there are also those coming to support their weight from the bottom, quite technical element is strong fashion item. Since become a problem that leads to health, shoes are the very back deep.

■ Shibuya fashion and side-by-side, chaos and vulgar feel interesting.

Please tell me the impression of _ "Shibuya of the city".
Fact is local is Shibuya. Immediately moved to Ebisu born, and has been moved to Shenzhen at the time of the 3-year-old. Play at the time of the teen course Shibuya. It was fun there is also Hoko heaven a long time ago. I was doing stupid to feed with my friends, Shibuya is jammed all such memories for me. The New Yorker is in conjunction with the because "my park" Central Park, my "my city" is the Shibuya. In such Shibuya, it is the best Nante celebration of fashion is opened. Shibuya continue originated the trend of fashion culture to represent Japan. Hear that there is a project to liven up it, I'm still happy.

Such Shibuya of image, you run out to "always fresh". This is where you are bubbling up is always strong energy as a town. Away from Shibuya, and it is something completely different feel, but it is got to and come back relieved. Thing strange. So, to place also a Shibuya much living Toka office, not away. It might be abstract and say energy, is a city that make me feel something positive atmosphere. To feel it, bred impressionable young children, I guess location is Shibuya to produce a variety of memory. That's why, I think that it has become the epicenter of the culture that are born are various creative.

And Shibuya, also came out new things rather than crush in front of the culture, there is going to stack feel. But it is of what holds because new culture there is still the old one. Shibuya I think that there is also a part that has been formed by a stack of culture in that way. For example, love hotel district of neon feel the Showa. Aiu Dattari old culture of stimulus, or was Eros, excitement. Shibuya is that are all complete, including the dark part. In fashion and side-by-side, It is also interesting that there is chaos and vulgar feeling.

_ What is seen from abroad as "Shibuya of charm"?
Top brand Maison overseas, we look at the figure to fit the Shibuya of the landscape in the photograph. I want is something inspired. My job, I meet may be a fashion designer of the Italian brand, but everyone say, 'I want to go to Shibuya. " The birth of various inspiration in Shibuya, to think of Shibuya style in a new form in the world is born, I will walk proudly as locals. It is a very strange feeling.

In terms of recent, I think in anime and manga has become an element of Shibuya of charm. I somehow find, that's our generation, it is an image of the movie "Blade Runner" (American movie of 1982 published). There is a large billboard, link of the chaotic feeling of people who gather to Dattari Shibuya. The overseas began to focus on the Shibuya is recently and thought is often, but I think that if there was an element to give a stimulus to the world since the 1980s.

Also Shibuya, are compared well with Times Square in New York, but it is a different impression at all. Times Square is lighting, light and such as Broadway, overwhelmed by the impression to landscape. On the other hand, interested target people overseas in Shibuya It is a "person" than landscape. Especially Toka Toka boy a girl, it seems there is an interest in the younger generation. Young generation of fashion, of course, action and make, such as hair style, is interesting when you see from them. In other words, "people check". It is multiplied by the engine of the inspired creators, to created a lot of image. I would like feel because "this is the very Japanese." It is a city that stimulates creative people just Shibuya.

■ "Shibuya fashion epicenter of the" have walked in the image of.

Shibuya redevelopment _ progresses, but do you have asked what expectations in Shibuya of the future of the future?
Shibuya of Fashion Week is still in the growth process, very young project. That's why, culture is going more and more growth at birth is a sense of unity and will Moriageyo with everyone. From myself I've seen much Shibuya from a young age, this project is in the toddler newborn, I feel still like the stage of whether you Susumo in Which direction. Now it came out the keyword again "Fashion", "Shibuya fashion epicenter of the" have walked in the image of. Go in step with the music still in partnership with Shibuya music festival. Traveling gradually raised is many things in one that, I think that than it is, "This is SHIBUYA" as the foundation of culture.

And rather than just the image of the city of young people, I want so we can Ya Shibuya and link in a wider range, such as more on the generation. I think that surely will happen. In addition, and I wonder if is progressing aims to place very high in the part of the culture of quality. "Change" and definitely rather than "evolution" Shiteku should. While respect the past of culture, I feel that going to grow into a new Shibuya for the future.
