"I bought this at Anap Mimpi [www.anapnet.com/mimpi]. I like the shape of the puffy shoulders."
"This is from Tsumori Chisato [4-21-25 Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku; 03-3423-5170]. Since I often wear brightly colored pants, I thought this shirt went really well with them. I also love the gradation.”
“I bought this at Hanjiro [3F YM Square Bldg, 4-31-10 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku; 03-3796-7303]. They sometimes have cool vintage T-shirts.”
”I got this at a small shop in Koenji. Even though I don’t know the band, I liked the shirt because of the faded color of the sleeves.”
“I bought this in Hong Kong because I liked the nonsense Japanese printed on it.” [Ed. note: Ah, sweet irony]
“I loved this shirt the minute I saw it at a small vintage shop in Nakameguro.”
“This is a hand-me-down from my mom. Isn’t the cat cute?”
“This T-shirt’s from Malko Malka [B1F Laforet, 1-11-6 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku; 03-5411-0150]. The pattern really sparks my imagination. Every time I see it, I wonder what it is: are they dots or lips?”
