This is evident in denim and down jackets, but clothes were originally created as tools. "Tool clothes" are minimalist basic designs packed with functions for each purpose, and because of their simplicity, they are easy to match with modern fashion and are a lifelong item that is not influenced by trends. In this issue's first feature, "Clothes = Tools," we asked a total of 50 fashion experts to show us their "tool clothes." We hope you enjoy the beautiful appearance of clothes that have been used until they are worn out, and the stories behind them. Other features include "Our Heisei Drama," which is quietly attracting attention in the current Reiwa era, and "Become a part of history with bespoke clothes from prestigious brands," which focuses on bespoke services offered by prestigious brands that everyone knows. Be sure to check out the variety-rich February issue.
