Hello, this is homme from the editorial team. Today, I'll be talking about gossip.
A certain designer has been appointed creative director of a certain brand. Today, I'd like to talk about him.
I'd like to talk about his hobbies.
This year, 2013, marks the 40th anniversary of the piano club I belonged to in college, and we're holding a commemorative concert.
By the way, when I say piano club, most people respond with, "Huh? What's that?" So, let me explain: it's a very self-centered group of people who love piano, who each play whatever they want, and only those who want to perform in concerts a few times a year. They're not interested in ensembles, concertos, or symphonies. They're a maverick group with barely any teamwork among the soloists, and they're barely capable of duets or duos.
His collection, which has returned to the fashion world after several years, will soon be hitting stores, and we're hearing more and more about international celebrities wearing his pieces.

The design hasn't changed much from the brand he worked with before, but it's so cool. It's different from the current trends, but maybe it will create a trend like before. I'm looking forward to it being on display in stores.

I've been choosing pieces since the end of the year. I haven't played the piano at all, though. Actually, my Bösendorfer Imperial has become a storage space.

I'm expecting about 15 minutes, so maybe one large piece or two medium-sized pieces. Five years ago, I played Scarbo from Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit, and I still have Ondine left, so I thought I'd pair that with Chopin's Ballade No. 2, which I've been into lately. I've been wanting to do Scriabin's Flame for a while now.

If I had to choose one piece, I'd consider Barber's Sonata, Scriabin's Sonatas No. 6 and 8, or Vincent's Sonata No. 1.
Now, changing the subject, around the end of the year, there was a lot of buzz about soccer fantasista Messi being cast in a certain TV commercial. I don't know how much he was paid, but it was a surprising and big choice.
What I'm most curious about is his performance costume. This has been something I've been particular about ever since I was a student. After all, you have to choose your costume to match the song. There are a wide variety of dresses for girls, but men usually wear suits or tuxedos. That's just boring.
When I played the Bach-Busoni Chaconne, I broke my hand, so it was my first concert in two years, and I chose to wear all Yohji. I wore a long, gown-like shirt and skirt. Yohji returned to Paris Pret-a-Pot in the spring/summer 2005 season, and coincidentally, the show music for that was Bach's Chaconne.
When I played Scriabin's Sonata No. 10, I wore all Gaultier. I wore a tulle top with a full-blooming bird design and wrap pants. I think it was a styling that matched Scriabin's mystical atmosphere. Scriabin was synesthetist and wrote brilliantly colorful music. His chords were vibrant and sensual. He was a megalomaniac artist with an obsessive interest in feathers, wings, flight, and ecstasy. That's why I chose a flashy bird-print T-shirt.

Ravel's Scarbo is paired with the fourth piece of Granados's "Goyescas," "Lament," or "Maja" and "Nightingale," both of which are influenced by Spain. Scarbo hints at the rhythm of the Spanish dance "Jota," and "Lament"...transforms Goya's painting into sound. That's why I chose a frilly shirt and skirt. I even made them myself.

And my next casting recommendation is this certain designer!
Actually, I was digging through a men's fashion magazine that's no longer in print and I found a photo of him in his younger days. At first, I thought I'd seen this expression somewhere before. The reason I didn't notice it right away wasn't so much the hairstyle, but the amount of hair that was different...he has a full head of hair now.

Next, if it's Barbour and Vine, I think a gray suit would be good. It has a contemporary feel, so Thom Browne would suit him. If it's Ravel and Chopin, maybe Saint Laurent? It has a French feel. That sophisticated feel would suit him.

So, who is this designer? ? The men's collection is about to end, but of course he's still participating.

Musicians, we're always looking forward to your costume styling!!!
