As we eagerly await the arrival of autumn, one thing that every fashion lover is curious about is what the next trends will be.

This time, three members of the GUIDE crew went straight to Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building buyers in search of the latest information on Fall/Winter 2025 fashion! They visited a certain venue where they could get the latest information on the Fall/Winter 2025 season at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , and learned a lot about the points of interest and highlights that each buyer has to offer, information that you can only hear there. First up is the "accessories" section, where we asked two buyers about the latest information on Fall/Winter!

"The Fall/Winter 2025 men's shoe collection is packed with special features across five different themes!"

First up is Kagami, a men's shoe buyer who has just returned from a business trip to Europe, including Milan and Florence. This time, he will introduce the overall picture of men's shoes for the Fall/Winter 2025 season, along with his top picks selected for Tsuchiya.



Kagami : This season's men's shoes will be presented from five main perspectives. First, there's the Italian Fair, which will be held throughout the entire Isetan Shinjuku store from late September . At the Isetan Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building we will be focusing on TOD'S, and we will also be introducing a HOGAN pop-up store, which will be held there for the first time.

Tsuchiya : The Italian Fair is held throughout the entire Isetan Shinjuku store every year and is always a huge success! I'm really looking forward to it this year too.

Kagami : The second approach focuses on sneakers . The third approach reflects the general trends that ISETAN MEN'S customers are looking for in shoes. We will have a wide selection of shoes that can be used for various purposes, such as functional dress shoes and sneakers that can dress up even casual outfits.


Kagami : The fourth event is the "Leather Fair," which will be held from Wednesday, September 17th . We'll be offering a variety of items, including "cost-effective shoes," "vintage," "pre-orders and special orders," "new standards," and "customization."


Kagami : And the fifth and final one is "Saint Crispin's Day." October 25th is a day to commemorate Saint Crispin, known as the "patron saint of leather," and every year JOHN LOBB releases a model that represents the year, making it a special day for people involved in leather goods. This time, Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building has collaborated with several brands that have endorsed this project.




For example, we are planning to release special models such as J.M. Weston's "Hunt Derby x Signature Loafers," which will cost around 500,000 yen. I proposed this special model idea to the president of our headquarters, and it was very well received.

Tsuchiya: " Saint Crispin's Week" is an event that allows you to enjoy a special feeling that could only be realized at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building .

Kagami: Please come and check out the lineup during the event period.

And finally, I'd like to recommend BONTEMPS, which is making its first appearance in Japan from France, to Tsuchiya-san.


Kagami: This is a currently trending brand that has revived the "double stitch-down construction" method, a work shoe manufacturing technique used in the 1970s and 80s (though there are various theories about its origins). The shoe lasts are designed by bespoke craftsmen, resulting in an exceptional fit. All models are made in France, and the price of around 70,000 yen is quite reasonable by today's standards, which is another attractive feature.


Tsuchiya : I tried on the plain-toe shoes, and they look incredibly stylish and are very comfortable! When will these be available in stores?

Kagami: It's scheduled to be available in stores from Wednesday, September 17th. It's one of the highlights of the Leather Fair, so please come and try it on.

"Adding Art and Playfulness to Your Style: The Latest Eyewear & Art Promotion"

Next, Sugita, the buyer in charge of accessories on the 1st floor and men's residences on the 8th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building , will introduce some noteworthy new eyewear and art promotions for this autumn/winter season. What eyewear does Okada recommend?


Sugita : First, I'd like to introduce the Italian brand TAVAT, which will be launched in August. This will be the first time that the full lineup will be available in Japan.
Featuring a structured, industrial design, the stainless steel frame that holds the parts in place and the gear-like mechanisms, the meticulously crafted details are sure to appeal to men.



Okada : I see! They have unique designs. Which one would you recommend?

Sugita : I'd like to introduce you to Okada-san the "Soup Can" model. It's an iconic model that symbolizes the brand, with the cross-section of a soup can seen from above directly incorporated into the frame. There are also plenty of other variations, including sunglasses and plastic frames, priced from around 70,000 to 90,000 yen. A single pair of glasses can completely change your look, so I want to keep suggesting items that can be an accent to your outfit.


Sugita : Another thing I'd like to introduce is the art promotion by art director Tetsuya Nagato, which will start on Wednesday, August 6th. He will be launching the first capsule collection for his apparel brand, RAREMETAL.


Sugita : At the Rare Metal pop-up from Wednesday, August 6th to Tuesday, September 2nd, we will be offering bandanas, cut-and-sew tops, hoodies, and other items printed with Nagato's collage artwork. At the same time, we will also be exhibiting and selling works featuring collages applied to antique chairs and other interior items until Tuesday, September 30th.


Tashiro : It's a luxury to be able to enjoy both art exhibitions and merchandise sales.

Sugita : Yes. We'll be having exciting promotions every weekend, so please feel free to check them out!

"A new proposal for autumn/winter bags and accessories, where function and design intertwine."

Finally, Fukushima, the buyer in charge of bags and wallets, will introduce recommended accessories and bags for Fall/Winter 2025. She will introduce noteworthy items that are perfect for Tashiro's lifestyle.


Fukushima : Our bags and wallets represent two distinct worldviews. One is a classic line that focuses on traditional stitching and materials. The other is a contemporary, accessory-like bag that complements outfits and reflects the current zeitgeist. This time, we'll focus on the latter and introduce some brands that we recommend to Tashiro-san.

First, I'd like to introduce the brand FUJIKINKO. Originating from a workshop in Tokyo's downtown area, they are showcasing the techniques they've cultivated over many years through their own brand.


Fukushima : The material is brass, and we have a variety of items such as card holders and keychains that you can enjoy as they age. They are also very popular as gifts.

Tashiro : The designs are interesting, and they make you want to pick them up. There's also a keychain called "ODEN," right?


Fukushima : And for bags, I'd like to introduce Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 1st floor.


Fukushima : As the model name "over engineering" suggests, this bag is packed with functionality, but it's not just functional; it also has a cool design. The way the paracord and strings are used is interesting, and it's a model that combines functionality and design, allowing for various ways to carry it. This time, as an Isetan exclusive model, the black parts have been changed to silver, and a playful "whistle" accent has been added. The price is 86,900 yen.


Tashiro : It has a unique look, and it seems very practical with all the pockets.

Fukushima : The brand's unique design is wonderful, and it's both functional and stylish. I'd love for people to actually get their hands on it during promotions.

Tashiro : Thank you, Fukushima buyer!
