Ten people, ten styles: Shoe choices for true fashionistas. | ISETAN Shoe Fair 2020
How do they enjoy combining shoes with their wardrobe? We snapped photos of our staff's outfits, focusing on autumn casual styles.
Two classmates who resonate with each other through their minimalist approach.
Minimalist and fashionable clothing paired with well-worn, favorite shoes.
Takusho Mukoda
Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , B1F = Men's Shoes Assistant Buyer
A broadcloth shirt and dark navy trousers. This minimalist outfit, all by Jil Sander, is paired with well-worn Rend U-tip shoes. "These shoes are great for both casual and formal occasions. I've been wearing them for two years, and they've developed a nice, worn-in feel. I like to use that relaxed feel to create a balanced look." Herein lies the idea of wearing high fashion in a natural way.
Add a touch of color to the monochrome rule.
Mana Yamazaki
Isetan Shinjuku Main Building 3rd Floor = Re-Style Assistant Shop Manager
Relaxed and elegant. She paired loafers from Akira Naka with a knit dress from Auralee. "I've loved monochrome ever since I was a child, or rather, black has become my motto (laughs). This is the first pair of two-tone shoes I've ever owned. I thought the feminine shape and heel design would be a nice accent." Even chic black can be styled with a playful touch.
I'm curious about my colleague's "mix" of styles today.
An unpretentious outfit and beautiful heels.
Mari Miyazaki
Isetan Shinjuku Main Building 3rd Floor = Re-Style Assistant Buyer
She's wearing a silk dress by Maison Eureka and remade denim by Photocopieu. Both are relatable clothes designed by designers of her own generation. On her feet, however, she's paired it with elegant pumps by Lemaire. "I'm used to wearing heels, and I like to wear high-quality shoes for a long time. But I don't like looking too dressy either (laughs)." The balance is indeed exquisite.
Familiar shoes and a relaxed khaki color.
Isetan Shinjuku Main Building 3rd Floor = Re-Style Shop Manager
A coat by Studio Nicholson, pants by Dries Van Noten, and a white T-shirt by Gildan. The relaxed silhouette pairs well with Marni x Vans sneakers. "I'm in the mood to wear khaki casually. I used to skateboard, and Vans are just what I feel comfortable in on my days off." Street style, high fashion, and ease. This is truly a Tokyo-esque mix.
Converse connects different fields.
Achieving a perfect balance between sophistication and casual style.
All-Star sneakers customized by <Licouture> and a skirt by <Fotokopieu>. A beautiful vintage shirt adds elegance to this unpretentious combination. "It's <Hermès> from the Margiela era. Lately, I like things that are comfortable to wear. I like to dress down dressier items, and vice versa. There's a balance that feels comfortable."
Enjoy the comfort and lightness of a sports-mix style.
Takashi Fukuda
Clothing & Accessories Group II (Men's)
Planning Officer
He's wearing Converse Jack Purcell sneakers with a shirt and chinos. It's a traditional American casual combination, but it somehow looks modern. "I love sporty clothes. They're comfortable, easy to move in, and have a refined silhouette. Today I'm wearing sneakers, but chunky leather shoes like Church's Shannon also go well with it."
A comfortable difference that respects each other's work.
Even a dressy dress can be worn casually with sneakers.
Hiroko Otani, Clothing & Accessories Group I (Women's)
Merchandiser
The chic black dress and layered white skirt are both by Chono. She paired the richly textured items with overseas Converse sneakers. "I like looking for slightly unusual sneakers when I travel (laughs). They create the perfect balance when paired with dressy clothes."
Playful colors and shorts for an active holiday.
Life Design Group Merchandiser
His striking footwear is the "Weapon" sneakers from FACETASM x Converse. He adds a playful touch to his relaxed style with shorts from COLOR and a knit tee from HERILL. "I wear all black for work, so on my days off I deliberately do the opposite (laughs). I wear colorful clothes and my favorite basketball shoes. It's about contrast (laughs)."
Influencers, each with their own shoes and outfits.
I freely switch between casual and formal attire .
Ayumi Matsuoka
Clothing & Accessories Group II (Men's)
E-commerce and Media Representative
Classic yet modern. A pair of vintage military pants (with creases) bridge the gap between a J.M. Weston golf shirt (with quilting) and a Sacai jacket. "I want to wear brands and vintage clothes, leather shoes and sneakers—in a relaxed way, in a good sense. Ideally, I'd like to be able to put together an outfit based on my mood when I wake up in the morning (laughs)."
Coordinate freely with things you like.
Erina Kubo
Isetan Shinjuku Main Building 2nd Floor = Isetan The Space Assistant Shop Manager
She's wearing a traditional-style dress from Todayful, vintage Hermes trousers, and Adidas Stan Smith sneakers. Effortlessly stylish. "I like vintage clothes, but I also love high-quality, elegant, and well-designed pieces (laughs)." She's completely honest about her own preferences. Her naturalness is charming.
