We have received a letter of autumn greetings from our LA-based director, Uchida.
We are excited to share her selections for the 26AW season along with some tips for your everyday outfits.
Embracing femininity with delicate lace—INTER LACE CAMI TOP
In contrast to Japan, where the feel of autumn is deepening, LA is experiencing consecutive days of temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius.
It seems this heat is quite unusual even for this time of year locally.
The pieces that Uchida reached for without hesitation this season are from the INTER LACE series.
She is such a fan that she picked up every item in the series, and she even chose a lace dress for her recent trip to Spain.
Straight from her daily life in LA, she shares a look featuring the INTER LACE CAMI TOP dressed down with sweatpants.
The delicate lace trimming the neckline and hem adds a touch of glamour to this relaxed outfit.
Incorporating an elegant, feminine essence into casual items—this is Uchida’s signature approach to balance.
Even with the sweltering daytime heat, she mentions that it can get chilly indoors or during the mornings and evenings.
The sweater draped over her shoulders is perfect for layering, allowing her to easily add or remove a layer depending on the temperature.
Finished with a basket bag and bold accessories, it’s a style perfect for a pleasant, sunny afternoon.

Styling half pants with elegance—INTER LACE HALF PANTS
For the INTER LACE HALF PANTS, which feature a lace trim around the hem, she pairs them with the GRADATION SHOULDER PAD TOP.
By keeping the look in a monochromatic brown, the lightness of the lace at the hem and the sharp silhouette of the top are beautifully highlighted.
This is a look that is easy to emulate even in Japan’s current climate, where long sleeves are becoming more common.
Pairing slightly longer half pants with a tight, long-sleeved top creates a balanced silhouette, making it a reliable choice for the changing seasons.
For footwear, she chose strappy ballet shoes for a polished, classic impression.
The bandana-style hair accessory and the basket bag add that signature LA-style relaxed vibe.
