Spring greetings have arrived from Director Uchida, based in LA. Vol. 1.
We are sharing the items she selected for the SS26 season along with styling tips.
Original Print Blouse — RADIAL 2WAY BLOUSE
From the RADIAL series, which features the season-defining original print that brings out the texture of the fabric.
The regular geometric pattern is rendered with curves, giving it a supple and expansive look.
Regarding the print on the finished garment, it is a piece the director is particularly fond of, having "finished it with a balance that exudes a moderate, relaxed mood."
A styling pulled together in monochromatic BLACK & WHITE.
For an accent, a SPIDERWEB BODY SUIT mesh tank top is layered around the waist.
In LA, where the climate is warm year-round, sandals are part of daily life from early spring.
It is an outfit that naturally blends into Uchida’s active lifestyle, where she enjoys the outdoors by strolling through the city or casually heading to local cafes and markets on weekends.
While it may still be a little while off in Japan, it is a look to emulate from late April to May.
This blouse is a 2WAY design that also works well as a camisole.
Even in mid-March, LA has an increasing number of summer days reaching 30 degrees Celsius, making it warm enough to break a sweat under the sun.
Since the RADIAL 2WAY BLOUSE allows you to change how you wear it according to the temperature, it is easy to incorporate into daily outfits even over there.

As a Set-up — RADIAL 2WAY BLOUSE & RADIAL 2WAY PANTS
The RADIAL series also comes with matching pants.
Uchida wore them as a set-up for this look. It is characterized by a balance where the print elegantly enhances the wearer.
The comfortable pants are also perfect for working from home.
Because of the soft silhouette, there is an ease to them that lets you go straight from work to going out.

The Joy of Monotone Layering — RADIAL 2WAY BLOUSE
"If you want to make the RADIAL 2WAY BLOUSE the star, matching it in monotone suits the current mood," says Uchida.
She adds volume to the bottom with a focus on texture, while keeping it healthy with an American-sleeve camisole.
She is intentional about styling that mixes elegance with a relaxed feel.
An outfit that feels slightly effortless and naturally sophisticated blends into the city.
This sense of balance—tightening up a patterned blouse with simple items—is where the LA-style sensibility truly shines.
