High Tension Off-Shoulder

This is look is off-shoulder and shows off some skin in a 90’s style. The summery, multi-coloured border gives a retro pop vibe. The sporty denim jeans have a line stripped down the side, and tailoring it into a street style elevates the feeling of this year!

Tops ¥4860/jouetie  Denim ¥10,800/jouetie

 

 

School Style Infused with Boyish Influences

The milk tea coloured checkered shirt is part of her personal wardrobe which she bought at a second-hand store. The bright red stadium jacket together with the denim skirt screams ‘school girl,’ and the sneakers and headband add a boyish undertone.

Hippy-Like with a Crochet Lace Skirt

The crochet skirt has a colourful flower pattern, which when worn together with the two-colour camisole transforms the look into something reminiscent of a cute 90’s dancer. The free-hippy-like crochet lace skirt is a healthy and active co-ord for the early summer.

Tops ¥3240 /jouetie  Skirt ¥3990/jouetie

 

Comments from Ricopin

Today’s three styles combine items from my everyday wardrobe. I don’t normally show skin, so I wonder if I feel inside that I’ve tried out a lot of looks? The crochet lace mini skirt was an item I absolutely wanted to try wearing this year. This kind of 90’s healthy and girly look is cute, right! At any rate, since beginning this featured series, my personal wardrobe has quickly become stylish! I’ve become much more able to pick out and wear clothes that I want to wear. This theme had that free feeling you only got in the 90’s, and I got to get close to myself in those terms! What should I go with next, I wonder…?

Innocent Girl with Nostalgic Dots

FH030030 copyFH010020 2FH010018 2

When I was a child, I had a phobia of dots. That’s why I’m not good at looking at polka dots. I’ve gone and overcome that extremely easily by having coming across this one-piece from Jouetie! It’s feminine and the neck is open wide, but it can be worn easily and casually, and if you wear heels with it like I did today it can look cute even if you’re a lady! The lace cache coeur part also has a classic sweet feel. It’s my favourite part.

    26.April.2018 | FASHION / FEATURES

    Rikako “Ricopin” Ōya is the stylish leader of Babyraids Japan, a five-member idol unit. This is her article feature in which she delivers the latest trends in Japan. The theme of this third entry is “Colourful Mix.” Ricopin will show you pop-inspired fashion items that she has been rapidly getting into recently through her colourful lenses!

    A Body Conscious One Piece with Slightly Tacky Colours

    FH040036FH030013FH030018FH010006 2

     

    The mini one-piece with padded shoulders with its 80’s style bubble vibe gives a fresh look. This impactful item combined with the punchy deep green spats is a risky move and challenges tacky colours.

     

    Blazer Style One Piece: ¥6,990 (Bershka) / Bershka Leggings: ¥1,990 (Bershka)

     

     

    Sugar Pink Tucked in is the Only Way to Go

    FH020018FH020017 2FH020020 2FH020012

     

    Here we have a refreshing passion pink t-shirt with a funny print and beautiful satin trunks with light pink gradation. Because these are girly colours there’s a perfect balance between casual and not-too-sweet.

     

    T-shirt, Pants, Sandals (Personal Items)

     

     

    A Daring Mix of Multi-Coloured Stripes & Vivid Red

    FH020032 2FH030006FH040004FH040019

    Red is the main player in this outfit. Emphasising the strength of this edgy red supports the colours of the stripes, such as the light pink and blue. A tinge of black serves to highlight the red even more. This is a casual style with red worn easily.

     

    Denim Jacket w/ Rings: ¥5,990 (Bershka) / Bershka T-Shirt: ¥990 (Bershka) / Wrap Maxi One Piece: ¥3,290 (Forever21)

     

     

    Ricopin’s Thoughts:
    “Your mood elevates when you wear colourful colours! I made my hair pink, so in this co-ord where pink is the main colour, I made an all-pink outfit together with pink hair. This is a style I’ve always wanted to try. The yellow of the checkered one-piece together with the green spats is something I personally loved. This colour coordination is something I want to incorporate into my own personal looks. The impact given by the colours is strong, and I think something very important when it comes to being fashionable. With summer on its way I have a hunch I’m going to want to wear more and more colourful things! It was fun coming to challenge myself to a new style in today’s shoot too!”

     

     

    Check out Ricopin’s cveryday outfit: Mode Street Style with a Transforming Skirt

    FH020001FH020003 2

    “Right now, I’m extremely fond of clothing items with a changing shape, like these skirt pants which I was taken with at first sight!! They’re a long-pleated skirt and short pants merged into one. From the front, you can get a brief glimpse that they’re short pants. It’s an interesting design. It’s easy to try wearing a co-ord that shows just this much skin, so it’s both fashionable and summery. You can even remove the skirt part and use it as an item on its town. My top is a ringer t-shirt, which adds a street style to the mode skirt!”

    22.March.2018 | FASHION / FEATURES

    This article series features Rikako “Ricopin” Ōya from idol group Babyraids Japan introducing fashion styles in collaboration with popular fashion brands. For her second entry, she teamed up with Nadia Flores en el Corazon, a multi-brand stores in Harajuku that Ricopin can’t stop loving. Check out the cute, spring-evoking style she has put together below.

     

    Controlling sweetness in co-ords with colours & textures

    FH040008_re 大矢梨華子-Fashionsnap 大矢梨華子 Fashionsnap-NADIA_2

    When thrown on, this blouse and beret screams ‘girly.’ The leather camisole one-piece shifts the look to arouse a ladylike mood. And by picking something coquettish and high cut, the style becomes trendy and in.

     

    Springtime baby pink emits your radiance even more

    FH000025_re

    大矢梨華子-fashionsnap-NADIA3大矢梨華子-fashionsnap-NADIA_4

    This is a collectively pink one-tone co-ord. Combing sweet pink with a souvenir jacket, too, is the definition of cute. For shoes – high thigh boots, keeping good balance with the entire look.

     

     

    Nonchalant colour employment neutralises any overbearing monotone-ness

    FH000033_re 大矢梨華子-fashionsnap-NADIA_5

    A hard riders jacket displays decency, and when worn elegantly offers that lady taste. The classy details in the one-piece shirt such as the patch pockets and walnut buttons are girly, and the choice of black accessories offers a chic aura.

     

    Ricopin’s Plain Clothes Check: clothes today are boyish

    FH020020 大矢梨華子-fashionsnap-私服_1 大矢梨華子 fashionsnap-私服_2

     “How did you all like this month’s looks? This time around I had my fill of Nadia Flores en el Corazon, a multi-brand store that has a way-too-cute selection of lovely items! All they have is cute items, so I of course recommend their stuff for girly girls, as well as those looking to remove that mannish style. In any case, the article focuses on girly looks, so I made my personal clothes today are boyish. The main piece is the remade shirt with pleated cuffs that I bought at Santa Monica. It’s a simple co-ord, so I used a beret and some sneakers for accent. Spring is getting warmer and the desire to shop is growing, which is fun, right? Alrighty, see you again. Bye-bye♪”

    22.February.2018 | FASHION / FEATURES

    Rikako “Ricopin” Ōya from idol group Babyraids Japan is featured in some of today’s most popular brands in Japan. In this new regular article series by her, Ricopin models fashion styles inspired by herself. In this first entry, she introduces the Harajuku select shop (me) which she frequents even in her private time and showcases some co-ords that express femininity and blur the line between girl and woman.

     

    Creating a chic look with impressive clothing items

    The dark tones used in this look elicit a real lady-vibe. The jumper’s big print and python pencil skirt draw out an edgy cheekiness in their femininity, an impressive combination that, together with the chic tones, make for a harmonious fusion.

     

    Boa Graphic Sweater ¥3,740 (tax incl.) & Python Pencil Skirt ¥2,900 (tax incl.) are from (me) / Shoes are personal items.

    The key to dressing stylishly with items that transform your silhouette is all in the sizing. The off-shoulder bomber jacket has a short length to add a variation in the overall volume of the outfit. The thick lines on the velour tracksuit bottoms offer an air of elegance and hide your true size. This hairstyle is compact which raises the sharp impression of this co-ords.

    Looking cool with vivid colours

    The vivid orange excites a happy aura in this look. The glasses and harness belt seize a mischievous look and shift your co-ord into a cool style. For shoes, thigh-high boots, which balance the co-ord while turning up the sharp essence.

     

    High Neck Big Sweater ¥4,420 (tax incl.) & Denim Checkered Skirt ¥3,485 (tax incl.) are from (me) / Shoes, sunglasses & pierecing are personal items.

    “Did you enjoy the first entry to this series? I hope to carry on introducing my latest fashion and brand interests to you. This time, I styled myself using items from the playful and cute (me). Recently, I’ve personally been crazy over one-tone co-ords. For example, today’s design×pattern look is collectively pink, so it’s not in-your-face. Using the high-neck in a layering style is also my favourite. I’m also showcasing a 1-cut co-ord so be sure to check it out. That’s all for now. Tune in again next month. Bye-bye♪”

  • Tokyo Second-Hand Shops: ‘VINTAGE QOO TOKYO’ – A Romantic Vintage Shop in Omotesando

    14.May.2018 | FASHION / FEATURES / SPOT

    VINTAGE QOO TOKYO is a romantic vintage shop that can be likened to a jewel box. It’s located in a place a little beyond Omotesando’s alleyways. You’ll know it by its cute mix of vintage colours: white and pink.

     

    古着 ヴィンテージショップ 表参道「VINTAGE QOO TOKYO」

     

    Inside dangles a chandelier which lifts the atmosphere of the shop. Every article of clothing, and each bag, pair of shoes and so on lines the shop beautifully, and all stand out from one another. It’s the kind of dressing room you yearn for as a child – a place that will sweep you off your feet.

    The store is particular about its wares, filling shelves with items from the 80s and 90s. Although everything in there is stuffed together side-by-side, you can feel that it’s from another time, with each high brand item donning its own texture and appearance.

     

    古着 ヴィンテージショップ 表参道「VINTAGE QOO TOKYO」古着 ヴィンテージショップ 表参道「VINTAGE QOO TOKYO」

    At QOO, they don’t just sell clothes. They offer vintage furniture and interior items too. Their appeal comes from their designs and silhouettes which are distinct from the time they came from.

    The wallpaper, decorating the shop with its original textile, and the ceiling layered with lattice that was used in gardens in the older days will tickle your heart.

     

    古着 ヴィンテージショップ 表参道「VINTAGE QOO TOKYO」

    VINTAGE QOO TOKYO celebrates its 6th year since opening this year. The owner, Junna Mori, opened it herself after gaining experience as a buyer with another company. The store began as a wholesaler.

     

    古着 ヴィンテージショップ 表参道「VINTAGE QOO TOKYO」古着 ヴィンテージショップ 表参道「VINTAGE QOO TOKYO」

    “I plunged myself into visiting vintage shops in Daikanyama with a suitcase packed with items in hand. While I was doing that, I started to want to own my own shop.”

    “Because I love second-hand clothes, I thought intensely about how I could keep them something close and familiar to people.”

     

    古着 ヴィンテージショップ 表参道「VINTAGE QOO TOKYO」

    Junna said this while delicately taking vintage items into her hand that have been picked to flow with the current times.

    “For beginners, they find it hard to wipe thoughts about second-hand clothes and vintage like ‘If you’re not well-acquainted, you can’t wear them,’ and ‘It’s not a world I can enter,’ don’t they? It’s because of those people that I want to take in items that can add something your everyday life.”

     

    古着 ヴィンテージショップ 表参道「VINTAGE QOO TOKYO」

    It certainly is a waste that the culture of second-hand clothing is dying out because it’s a difficult world to get into.

    “That’s why I want to carry on the legacy by matching items that flow with the current age and its trends.”

     

    古着 ヴィンテージショップ 表参道「VINTAGE QOO TOKYO」古着 ヴィンテージショップ 表参道「VINTAGE QOO TOKYO」

    VINTAGE QOO TOKYO is dedicated to seizing the irreplaceable second-hand and vintage culture.

    VINTAGE QOO TOKYO doesn’t have a set stock day, and it shows as those who may have visited the store yesterday will come the next day and say, ‘This wasn’t here yesterday!’ The lineup changes bit by bit every day.

     

    古着 ヴィンテージショップ 表参道「VINTAGE QOO TOKYO」

    “If you have a lot of items in stock because of a set day where goods arrive, and they sell well, then you’ll have a shortage of stock. I don’t like to think that people won’t come across something because they couldn’t make it in time with such timing like that, and so I value a fresh lineup every day.”

    This is the kind of vintage lifestyle that VINTAGE QOO TOKYO offers. If it’s the luxurious kind of vintage that’ll strike a chord in your heart you’re looking for, then you will find it here.

  • Rikako Ōya’s #OOTD – The Latest Fashion Trends in Japan (January 2019)

    24.January.2019 | FASHION / FEATURES

    #OOTD is fashion-lover Rikako “Ricopin” Ōya’s featured series on MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON where she exhibits the latest fashion from Japan. This will be the final entry to the long-standing and popular series which has taken place over a year already!

     

    Ricopin’s crowning glory theme is a favourite colour (or colours) of hers: rainbow. In the final outfit of the article in which she makes up a look with her favourite items on the month she incorporates red as the main colour, her absolute favourite colour.

     

    90’s mix littered with juicy colours

    Ricopin stylishly layers yellow, orange and blue in this look which elicits a feeling of freshness and energy. Compact sizing of each item brings the entire outfit together instead of it looking too loud. The half zip sweatshirt and coach jacket gives us that 90’s mood.

    Aymmy in the batty girls: Boa Coach Jacket ¥24,000, Shaggy Neck Knitwear ¥13,000, Checkered Skirt ¥14,000 / Everything else is a personal item of the stylist

     

    playing daring with colours and a men’s-like balance

    Combining the street styles of an oversized denim jacket and striped pants gives fresh expression when the jacket is striped and the pants are a bright colour. The white accessories and details also help to bring the entire outfit together.

     

    VOLCAN&APHRODITE Shibuya 109: Denim Jacket ¥25,000, Sunglasses ¥2,000 / Aymmy in the batty girls: Striped Knitwear ¥13,000, Striped Pants ¥17,000, Boa Waist Pouch ¥9,000 / T&P Shibuya 109: Sneakers ¥2,900 / Everything else is a personal item of the stylist

     

    open a lead with accented colours in a sporty look

    Ricopin went on a colourful adventure with the high neck cut and sewn, belt and hood which complement the black down jacket base. The purple pants are surprisingly not overly flashy so even if you add colours it never looks too much. Her shoes are thick-soled to give a nice balance in terms of volume.

     

    VOLCAN&APHRODITE Shibuya 109: Down Jacket ¥9,800, Corduroy Pants ¥6,980, Belt ¥980 / Candy Stripper: High Neck Cut & Sewn ¥6,800 / T&P Shibuya 109: Sneakers ¥2,900 / Everything else is a personal item of the stylist

     

     

    <Ricopin’s Thoughts>

    “I’ve always liked colour coordination and colourful clothes. Even in my recent outfits I’ve just worn red. My hair is blonde so I wear red clothing I get told I look like [Japanese comedian] Kazlaser [laughs]. But in brightening up I’ve come to enjoy more standout colours than before. I also want to try out blue and green items this year! In winter I’m inclined to wear the same kind of outdoor wear and I tend to go with safe colours in my looks, but when I saw the clothes this time around I saw the light in how much you can play around with colours like this! Whether I’ll be popular in them is another thing entirely [laughs] but I love girls who wear colourful fashion. I feel wearing colours makes you feel more alive. The outfit I personally find to be the easiest to wear is the one with the black down jacket and yellow belt. Accessories add colour so you can change your impression easily, can’t you. My colour recommendation is without question red! Be sure to try colour coordinating yourselves this winter too♡”

    Owning the sizing with red as the main player

    <Interview>

    “This time I used my favourite colour, red, as the main colour! The down jacket is from Little Sunny Bite. This size which is like it’s hugging you is cute and warm and surprisingly goes with anything you combine it with so I’m all about it this year. Generally you’d wear the jacket zipped up with jeans and sneakers but this time I wanted to open the jacket up so I tried balance the volume with white socks and ballet shoes. I see these shoes so much in fashion on the streets and think it’s cute♡ The sweater is striped and is my kind of colourful. I want to carry on challenging myself to more colourful fashion this winter!”

  • Rikako Ōya’s #OOTD – The Latest Fashion Trends in Japan (December 2018)

    27.December.2018 | FASHION / FEATURES

    #OOTD is a featured series here on MMN by fashion-lover Rikako “Ricopin” Ōya in which she showcases the latest fashion from Japan. This time she has picked out the perfect party style for this season and winter break where there are lots of events taking place. This dress-up style has that Ricopin taste to it, one that makes you stand tall while maintaining a uniqueness. Her final outfit in the list is made up of her favourite items of the month and is another dress-up style.

     

    feeling like a lady with fur

    Ricopin creates a special ladies style simply by wrapping a a long-furred coat around a fitted one piece. Points of note are the belt tied up high and heels which give variation to the overall look.

    MARTE: Fur Coat ¥21000, Used One Piece ¥8,800, Pumps ¥9,000, Bag ¥8,300
    Aymmy in the batty girls: Beret ¥9,000 / Everything else is a personal item of the stylist

     

    a touch of playfulness using individual motifs

    The balance between the classic party style look of a dress and fur coat which has a cat design on the dress and Furby design on the back of the coat creates even more of a playfulness. An air of sophistication is also made with the long fur coat and bag.

    Aymmy in the batty girls: Fur Coat ¥35,000, Pochette (Specimen) / Candy Stripper: One Piece ¥22,800
    MARTE: Barrette ¥5,800 / T&P Shibuya 109: Long Fur Coat ¥1,900 / 
    Everything else is a personal item of the stylist

     

    a girly co-ord that brings out pop-ness using colour variations

    This outfit co-ord is fashionable without feeling overdressed and is perfect for getting together with the girls, going out to the theme park and so on. Points to highlight are the down jacket and the boa skirt. The yellow tights give an accent to the look♡

    Aymmy in the batty girls: Down Jacket ¥24,000, Boa Skirt ¥17,000
    MARTE: Used Turtle Knit ¥5,300 / T&P Shibuya 109: Shoes ¥2,900 / Everything else is a personal item of the stylist

     

    <Ricopin’s Thoughts>

    “I actually haven’t been to many parties in my private time, so it felt really fresh dressing up like this and doing this shoot! The location was a hotel which was just too wonderful that I thought ‘This needs to be on Instagram!’ (laughs) I played with motifs and colours this time, but it was something different from what you’d wear on a regular date. It was party fashion, something to enjoy going all out and dressing up for getting together with stylist girls, so it was great. The mint fur coat feels grown up, and the cat one piece co-ord brings out a style that separates you from others. The down jacket is perfect for outdoor events. I wore colours and items that require courage too, things that would be born precisely because it’s a party, so I definitely want people to try challenging themselves! This is the New Year season and winter vacation with lots of events, so be sure to enjoy wearing something different from what you’re used to♡”

    In this section, Style Leader Ricopin shows us what clothes she’s into right now. This time she has created a special winter style that is girly but spicy.

     

    feeling yourself combining rock and girly styles

    “I like the leather skirt so much that I wanted to buy it the moment I saw it. It’s from NADIA in Harajuku. It’s leather but has ribbons and mini flairs. It has a sweet and spicy vibe that’s irresistible♡ I tried making a co-ord that you can head out with as is by combining the red frill skirt and leopard fur coat. It’s winter so I want to look girly from time to time, but there’s a rock [gal] in me I can’t shake off easily that’s left in (laughs). I dressed up in heels, but it will be cute in sneakers too, so I recommend this look!”

  • Rikako Ōya’s #OOTD – The Latest Fashion Trends in Japan (November 2018)

    22.November.2018 | FASHION / FEATURES

    #OOTD is a featured series here on MMN by fashion-lover Rikako “Ricopin” Ōya in which she showcases the latest fashion from Japan. The theme of her 10th entry is ‘Trad Style’ fused with school uniform elements. While these outfits are classy they are also nostalgic, calling back to older fashion, and are coordinated with that Ricopin taste. The final outfit in which she serves an outfit made up of her favourite items of the month has a slight air of retro-ness to it.

     

    a bad trad serving a fresh style

    Everyone has that one bad guy in class. He is Ricopin’s inspiration for this orthodox school look which she fashionably dons with a long T and baggy pants. The sleeve prints and typography on the belt give off an individualistically playful aura.

    Chicago Jingumae: Used Vest ¥3,900 / Ammy in the batty girls: Long T-Shirt ¥6,500, Checkered Pants ¥21,000, Belt ¥2,500, Beret ¥8,000

    *Everything else are the stylist’s personal items.

     

    the magic of an honour student’s colour coordination that keeps on wowing

    Ricopin takes the classic trad combo of tilden knitwear and a pleated skirt and spins her own twist on it by incorporating bright blue and leather. The yellow socks are a standout player in this overall chic getup.

    Chicago Jingumae: Used Knitwear ¥1,000 / Laforet Harajuku: High Neck Sweater ¥2,800 (F&A), Oxford Shoes ¥6,400 (F&A), Pleated Leather Skirt ¥8,400 (F.i.n.t) 

    *Everything else are the stylist’s personal items.

     

     

    an old-fashioned student outfit with a jumper skirt and stadium jumper

    Ricopin forges grace with the checkered jumper skirt and brown high neck knitwear and fur stadium jumper. Her classic retro style schoolgirl look is on point. The knee high socks and red pumps are also a perfect match.

    Laforet Harajuku: Fur Blouse ¥12,800 (F.i.n.t), Checkered One Piece ¥7,600 (F.i.n.t), High Neck Knitwear ¥3,800 (F&A), Ribbon Barrette ¥1,500 (F&A), Pumps ¥6,800 (an another angelus)

    *Everything else are the stylist’s personal items.

     

    <Ricopin’s Thoughts>

    “It felt really fresh wearing the trad style with a school uniform look in a cute way! My usual outfits are really rough and loose, but this kind of tight look is precious and makes you hold your head high. Especially the first outfit. I actually want to try wearing that kind of boyish, casual style myself! The usual thing to do is wear a shirt under the fest, but the long T gives it that bad boy look. Plus it went with my hairstyle so I liked it. Although the combination of the pleated skirt and knitwear in the second outfit are the school items the mature look is super cute♡ I also personally like casually adding different colours here and there. The final outfit is a classic girly look. It’s part of my image so it was easy to wear. Also, I’m really into brown right now. My nails are painted that colour so making the inner part of this look brown was a highlight of the outfit♪”

    In this section, Style Leader Ricopin shows us what clothes she’s into right now. This time around she’s created an outfit entirely out of clothes from her favourite brand – Aymmy in the batty girls! Her look is centred around her most beloved item: overalls.

    my best co-ord, it was love at first sight

     

    <Interview>

    “I love this overall so much I’ve probably posted it so many times on Instagram (laughs). This was actually my first overall I bought. The shape is beautiful and the legs look long, and combining it with the knitted jumper from the same brand makes it the ultimate cute♡ If you’re not careful with overalls you end up looking childish, but having mature elements makes it wonderful, like the high waist design and ribbon on the back. It’s easy to get the balance right and it’ll go with any shoes, but when thinking about the knitwear and my own style I decided to go with platforms♡”

  • Rikako Ōya’s #OOTD (October 2018): The Latest Fashion Trends in Japan

    27.October.2018 | FASHION / FEATURES

    #OOTD is a featured series here on MMN by fashion-lover Rikako “Ricopin” Ōya in which she showcases the latest fashion from Japan. The theme of her 9th entry is ‘Outdoor Mix’ – a new style that combines outdoor clothing with something completely different to add new flavour to the outfit. At the end of the article, Ricopin also delivers her favourite items this month with a personal style of her own.

     

    bringing the spice with a fluffy boa

    Ricopin is donning a boa jumper―a classic material for outdoor wear―and the blue colour brings out that showiness even more. Combined with a leopard print skirt, this look brings a spicy street mix that’s in right now.

     

    Candy Stripper: Boa Upper ¥14,800 / Chicago Jingumae: Used Skirt ¥2,900

    *Everything else are the stylist’s personal items.

     

    unnatural strip colour combination = mood

    This warm and fluffy style has a real outdoor vibe brought out by the fur aviator hat and corduroy jumper skirt. This is layered with a striped multi-coloured knitted top to transform the outfit into a 90’s pop look.

     

    Candy Stripper: Striped Knitwear ¥15,800 / Jingumae Chicago: Used Jumper Skirt ¥3,900 / F.i.n.t: Boa Hat ¥4,800

    *Everything else are the stylist’s personal items.

     

    authentic outerwear x one piece = an unexpected matching

    Ricopin is enjoying unexpected match between an outdoor boa jacket and stylish one piece. The real surprise player in this look however is the waffle leggings. The trendy purple and mellowness of everything else works to bring the whole look together.

     

    Candy Stripper: Boa Jacket ¥23,800 / Aymmy in the batty girls: One Piece ¥16,500 / Jingumae Chicago: Used Leggings ¥1,900¥

     

    <Ricopin’s Thoughts>

    “I wonder, is ‘outdoor’ often thought about as outdoor festival? It felt refreshing working on my personal style [below] because I did a lot of things I’ve never done before! And not just that – rather than changing the whole look I mixed different styles which is fun, isn’t it? It changes your image in a good way. For example, the first outfit with the boa parker. The balance is easy to replicate but the leopard print is very much now. I like it so much I want to add it to my own wardrobe. Wearing a hood is warm too. It’s a balance I want everyone else to try too♡. The third outfit with the stripes and jumper skirt felt like something new, and I’m glad I wore an aviator cap, they’re all the rage this year! The concept of combining a mini one piece and waffle leggings in the third style is super cute. This is the number one style I want to try the most now!”

    today’s trendy girl fashion transforms mature elements into childish ones

     

    <Ricopin Interview>

    This is a balance I wanted to try: a mini one piece with long boots! I’m all about that 90’s kogyaru balance right now, but it’s something I’ve never done before, so when I thought about what I should wear, I came across this X-girl one piece. The length matches with the boots’ perfectly, and the logo has a mature colour tone that is cute. The waist squeezes, and it also has pockets. I’m a fanatic for it even just wearing it on its own. It’s too wonderful a thing! (laughs) I’m doing autumn this time , so I tried to make it autumn-y and chic by combining with a black hat.

  • Rikako Ōya’s #OOTD (September 2018)

    27.September.2018 | FASHION / FEATURES

    Rikako “Ricopin” is a Japanese model and this is her featured article series in which she delivers the latest fashion from Japan.

     

    For her 8th entry to the series, Ricopin is serving us a “Neo-Punk Mix” theme. The style incorporates elements of hardcore punk while lacing it with the kind of street and girly vibes that are in today―Ricopin style. She’s also joined once more by Yuri Suganuma again this month in her personal co-ord section.

     

    Street Mix means playing with colours & designs

    The t-shirt and knitted fabric pants have that 90s street style vibe to them. Nonchalantly added to that is checkered outerwear and a pair of boots which act as her punk components. By daring to add these colours it creates a unique, one-step-ahead of the pack punk style.

     

    KAWI JAMELE (LTN Showrooms): T-Shirt ¥2,800, Knitted Pants ¥11,800, Knitted Beret ¥2,800, Boots ¥13,800

    *Everything else are items from the stylist.

     

     

    An orthodox punk look with leather and a checkered pattern

    The leather jacket and checkered skirt alone give that “hard” look – they’re an indispensable combination in punk. The bright red t-shirt adds a change to the look while the long length of the skirt adds the kind of silhouette that’s in right now.

     

    Aymmy in the batty girls: T-Shirt ¥7,500, Checkered Long Skirt ¥22,000

    *Everything else are items from the stylist.

     

    Serving spicy sweetness with a rockabilly mix

    This style combines a glittery top with a circular skirt that falls gently. These girly monotone items serve a 50s rockabilly style while the redness of the hat give a punk element.

     

    Aymmy in the batty girls: Beret ¥8,000, Skirt ¥14,000 / KAWI JAMELE (LTN Showroom): Shoes ¥12,800

    *Everything else are items from the stylist.

     

    <Ricopin’s Thoughts>

    “I’ve loved that hard style since long ago. During middle school I was crazy on black co-ords, and before that I wore a lot of leather accessories. But this time I did things like combining a jacket with a deep blue checkered pattern, and added more colours to the co-ords. Even thought it was in the ‘hard’ realm I really felt a newness! The purple and orange combination in the first co-ord is also my theme colour for this year. I also added purple lipstick to match. Just wearing that really brings out your face. It makes you look stylish so I recommend it. The styling of the third co-ord with the checkered skirt is my favourite! The glitter material and skirt seem girly but they’re also cool. It seems easy to look flashy by just adding small accessories. The truth is whenever I go shopping after doing these shoots [for this article series] I’m learning while remembering how I combined things. Up to now I’ve done a lot of styles that are more bright and cheerful so for autumn and winter I sure want to go for something chic and cool!”

    Serving autumn with colours that are more chic than usual

    <Ricopin Interview>

    “I haven’t owned a lot of autumn browns and smoky colours up to now, but recently I’ve been wearing beige Chinos, and I like incorporating pink beige like today, so I’ve started collecting them. They are mellow colours but have their standout traits. I’m losing my strength to them they’re so easy to get by with (laughs). For example although t-shirts are standard simply changing the colour makes it autumn-like and changes the entire feel. That’s what I’m showing. I combined it with black but short pants and sandals aren’t too heavy and look good for the turning point of the seasons. It was a very fun photo shoot♡”

     

    <Yuri Suganuma Interview>

    “The first thing that popped into my head for this autumn coloured shoot was the colour orange. The orange skirt and orange logo on the t-shirt gives a sense of uniformity.The skirt and boots are also leather. Heavy material like that brings out the seasonal vibes. Incidentally, when I came up with this outfit, I realised the colours felt Halloween-y and thought ‘this really is an autumn outfit!’ (laughs) And Ricopin combined beige with black so we look like twins which I’m glad about!”

  • Babyraids Japan Member Rikako Ōya’s #OOTD (August 2018)

    23.August.2018 | FASHION / FEATURES

    Rikako “Ricopin” Oya is the leader of style in Babyraids Japan, a five-member idol unit. This is her featured article series in which she delivers the latest fashion from Japan.

     

    The theme for the 7th entry to this series is ‘Vintage Style,’ where Ricopin is combining second hand clothing, classic items and more to give us a more mature version of herself than usual. She’s also joined by Yuri Suganuma this month in her personal co-ord section.

     

    Layered one piece heightens gorgeousness

    Ricopin has layered a vintage floral one piece with a chic velour one piece. Adding a floral design brings out the true colour of the main single tone one piece.

     

    Aymmy in the batty girls: Velour One Piece ¥25,000 / MARTE: Vintage Floral One Piece ¥12,000

    *Everything else are personal items.

     

     

    A vintage dress for a special occasion

    This bold and confident one piece screams vintage design. Adding the low tone bag and pumps together with the belt eliminates any sense of childlikeness to bring out the inner lady.

     

    MARTE: One Piece ¥13,000, Pumps ¥12,000, Original Earrings ¥6,800 / Fi.n.t Laforet Harajuku: Bag ¥9,200 (an another angelus)

    *Everything else are personal items.

     

     

    Matching Set + Scarf = Best Combo

    This sophisticated Glen checkered matching outfit is the kind of thing you imagine being worn at the cinema in the olden days. The vintage scarf around her neck serves that classic mood. The red socks and black shoes also add a freshness.

     

    Fi.n.t Laforet Harajuku (an another angelus): Checkered Jacket ¥9,400, Glen Checkered Skirt ¥7,800

     

    Ricopin’s Thoughts

    I normally wear colourful and casual outfits, so challenging myself to a classical and mature style felt really fresh! It felt like an adventure for me, but even the staff said “It suits you!” so clothes like this will be nice for autumn too♡ Out of them all I really liked the checkered set, so much that I want to add them to my wardrobe. You can co-ordinate them separately too. They seem easy to pull off. The theme was vintage so I wore second hand clothes too, but I felt a bit of contrivance even with the one piece. Combining the pink one piece with green pumps really suited my tastes! I often go to second hand stores in my own time, so I want to try looking for some more beautiful vintage items. This was a really fun photo shoot, I felt like I became the star of a movie.

I’ve loved her for a long time and have always sent her love calls♡ I see Yurippa as someone who wears vivid colours, so I decided to make that the theme. After being lost on what colours to pick for the outfit I set my eyes on getting entire outfit that was vivid and under ¥10,000! The white denim was from GU so it was around ¥2,400, the top was jouetie so around ¥3,000, and the shoes were given to me, so this was a super cheap co-ord. The colours aren’t too in-your-face. I also added red, my favourite colour. Yurippa uses white as a base colour from time to time too, so I’m glad we were able to link together nicely.”

     

    Yuri Suganuma Interview

    “When you say ‘vivid co-ord’ it has the impression that it’s flashy and difficult to get the colours right, but this time I was particiular with layering a long t-shirt with colourful bottoms that peek out. By doing that the colours aren’t over-emphasised. It adds an accent that looks cute! This long t-shirt is also a collaboration with STRIPE CLUB. It’s something I designed, but one thing to point out is the neck colour from the ringer t-shirt which is the base. And so that it doesn’t look plain I balanced the outfit with straps. This is the second time I have met with Ricopin, but I’m so happy that she called me for this shoot! We got excited about a show we’re watching, so I want more time to talk with her again.”

    90’s sports style with vivid colour

    one spo: Sun Visor ¥2,500, Line Choker ¥2,900, Sandals ¥5,900 / KOL ME BABY Shibuya 109: Jersey Pants ¥3,800

     

    An unexpectedly girly parker one piece

    Showing a healthy amount of skin with layered mesh

    The bra top and running pants are true sports items and are made even more stylish with a mesh top. Adding the checkered beret and knee high socks gives originality and a street vibe.

     

    SPINNS: Bra Top ¥3,500, Mesh Top ¥1,998, Short Pants ¥1,998 / KOL ME BABY Shibuya 109: Beret ¥2,300

     

    Ricopin’s Comments

    All of the styles today are cute, it was seriously so much fun! I often wear a lot of colourful clothes, so today’s colour co-ordination and balance will come in useful. I’ve been interested in sun visors since last year, but I haven’t been able to challenge myself to wearing one. But after putting one on this time it’s easier to incorporate into an outfit than I thought, and just wearing one brings out something different from everybody else, so I want to try wearing them more this year! I also really like jersey pants and wear them in my own styles but playing around with colours and accessories I felt like I learned how to add variety without It being too much. I love the sporty look, so I want to go on and wear it more!

    In this section, Style Leader Ricopin shows us what she’s into right now for her own style. She did all the styling herself too and there’s an interview with her afterwards, so be sure to check it out.

     

    A sweet and refreshing look with wide denim and a blouse

    Interview

    I actually normally don’t wear a lot of baggy pants. I have a lot of skinny pants. It’s hard to balance them with something, and there’s parts I avoid, but the moment I found these pants it was love at first sight. They were a challenge, but when I put them on they were cute like I imaginedIt was difficult combining it with an equally cute top. In the end I found a blouse at WEGO which added a sweet mix. I’ve worn the sneakers several times in this article series. They have thick soles so they go well with the wide pants. I recommend them!”

  • Babyraids Japan Member Rikako Oya’s #OOTD (June 2018)

    21.June.2018 | FASHION / FEATURES / Uncategorized

    Rikako “Ricopin” Oya is the leader of style in Babyraids Japan, a five-member idol unit. This is her featured article series in which she delivers the latest fashion from Japan. The theme for this 5th entry is ‘clear material,’ and she’s bringing it with three different styles that capture the current trend, as well as one of her own plain co-ords. Check out the chemical reaction between these transparent and accessory-focused summertime threads and Ricopin’s style.

     

    Combining a clear accessory with the outfits’ colours

    The red and black on the clothes together with the clear bag and earrings help the accessories to stand out even more. There’s also transparent material used in the outfit which refines the simple t-shirt and denim jeans.

     

    SPINNS: Clear Bag ¥1,998, Cami Dress ¥2,599 / one spo: T-Shirt ¥3,900, Jeans ¥7,900

     

     

     

    Dressing a simple co-ord with an accessory

    The summer vibe in this outfit is brought out by the added clear belt and sunglasses to the smooth co-ord which consists of a t-shirt and skirt. The look is completed with accessories lining the face which give an air of playfulness.

    SPINNS: Belt ¥999, Sunglasses ¥1,998, Earrings ¥700 / KOL ME BABY (Shibuya 109): Skirt ¥5,900 / one spo: Necklace ¥2,900

     

     

     

    Clad in vibrance and sparkles with glitter and transparency

    The top and clear bag have glitter in them, meaning this eye-catching co-ord can be shown off even at night. The lace up skirt and straw hat evoke girliness, and showing a moderate amount of skin gives a sense of effortlessness.

     

    KOL ME BABY (Shibuya 109): Clear Bag ¥1,500 / Honey Salon by foppish: Sandals ¥14,800, Skirt ¥12,500 / Aymmy in the batty girls: Hat ¥8,640

     

    Ricopin’s Comments

    Transparent material is a thing of summer and didn’t require any challenge, but this photo opportunity made me wants bags! They’re see-through so I think long and hard about what to put inside (laughs), but they’re super cute. There’s a lot of transparent small accessories, so you can easily add them to your outfit which is one great thing about them. Adding accessories is something anyone can do and is really ‘in’ right now. The earrings and sunglasses were good too, but I’m interested in chokers. If I actually get one, something like a red camisole one piece is close to what I’d wear, so I’d like to go for something like that.

     

     

     

    Check out Ricopin’s plain clothes!

    In this section, Style Leader Ricopin shows us what she’s into right now for her plain clothes. She did all the styling herself too!

     

     

    Colour is her ally with this pop one piece style

    I’m all about collecting one pieces right now. From those I’ve picked out my favourite purple crochet one piece. The sandals have purple on them too. The colour scheme is really my favourite part, it’s like Ariel from The Little Mermaid. I love coloured clothing, so I find myself worry over colour combinations, but ever since I started this series I feel that the things I want to wear and the things I want to get out there are expressed in my outfits. I want to wear colourful co-ords more and more this summer!

  • Babyraids Japan Member Rikako Ōya’s #OOTD (April 2018)

    26.April.2018 | FASHION / FEATURES

    Rikako “Ricopin” Ōya is the stylish leader of Babyraids Japan, a five-member idol unit. This is her article feature in which she delivers the latest trends in Japan. The theme of this third entry is “Colourful Mix.” Ricopin will show you pop-inspired fashion items that she has been rapidly getting into recently through her colourful lenses!

    A Body Conscious One Piece with Slightly Tacky Colours

    FH040036FH030013FH030018FH010006 2

     

    The mini one-piece with padded shoulders with its 80’s style bubble vibe gives a fresh look. This impactful item combined with the punchy deep green spats is a risky move and challenges tacky colours.

     

    Blazer Style One Piece: ¥6,990 (Bershka) / Bershka Leggings: ¥1,990 (Bershka)

     

     

    Sugar Pink Tucked in is the Only Way to Go

    Here we have a refreshing passion pink t-shirt with a funny print and beautiful satin trunks with light pink gradation. Because these are girly colours there’s a perfect balance between casual and not-too-sweet.

     

    T-shirt, Pants, Sandals (Personal Items)

     

     

    A Daring Mix of Multi-Coloured Stripes & Vivid Red

    FH020032 2FH030006FH040004FH040019

    Red is the main player in this outfit. Emphasising the strength of this edgy red supports the colours of the stripes, such as the light pink and blue. A tinge of black serves to highlight the red even more. This is a casual style with red worn easily.

     

    Denim Jacket w/ Rings: ¥5,990 (Bershka) / Bershka T-Shirt: ¥990 (Bershka) / Wrap Maxi One Piece: ¥3,290 (Forever21)

     

     

    Ricopin’s Thoughts:
    “Your mood elevates when you wear colourful colours! I made my hair pink, so in this co-ord where pink is the main colour, I made an all-pink outfit together with pink hair. This is a style I’ve always wanted to try. The yellow of the checkered one-piece together with the green spats is something I personally loved. This colour coordination is something I want to incorporate into my own personal looks. The impact given by the colours is strong, and I think something very important when it comes to being fashionable. With summer on its way I have a hunch I’m going to want to wear more and more colourful things! It was fun coming to challenge myself to a new style in today’s shoot too!”

    FH020001FH020003 2

    “Right now, I’m extremely fond of clothing items with a changing shape, like these skirt pants which I was taken with at first sight!! They’re a long-pleated skirt and short pants merged into one. From the front, you can get a brief glimpse that they’re short pants. It’s an interesting design. It’s easy to try wearing a co-ord that shows just this much skin, so it’s both fashionable and summery. You can even remove the skirt part and use it as an item on its town. My top is a ringer t-shirt, which adds a street style to the mode skirt!”

  • Babyraids Japan Member Rikako Ōya’s #OOTD (March 2018)

    22.March.2018 | FASHION / FEATURES

    This article series features Rikako “Ricopin” Ōya from idol group Babyraids Japan introducing fashion styles in collaboration with popular fashion brands. For her second entry, she teamed up with Nadia Flores en el Corazon, a multi-brand stores in Harajuku that Ricopin can’t stop loving. Check out the cute, spring-evoking style she has put together below.

     

    Controlling sweetness in co-ords with colours & textures

    FH040008_re 大矢梨華子-Fashionsnap 大矢梨華子 Fashionsnap-NADIA_2

    When thrown on, this blouse and beret screams ‘girly.’ The leather camisole one-piece shifts the look to arouse a ladylike mood. And by picking something coquettish and high cut, the style becomes trendy and in.

     

    Springtime baby pink emits your radiance even more

    FH000025_re

    大矢梨華子-fashionsnap-NADIA3大矢梨華子-fashionsnap-NADIA_4

    This is a collectively pink one-tone co-ord. Combing sweet pink with a souvenir jacket, too, is the definition of cute. For shoes – high thigh boots, keeping good balance with the entire look.

     

     

    Nonchalant colour employment neutralises any overbearing monotone-ness

    FH000033_re 大矢梨華子-fashionsnap-NADIA_5

    A hard riders jacket displays decency, and when worn elegantly offers that lady taste. The classy details in the one-piece shirt such as the patch pockets and walnut buttons are girly, and the choice of black accessories offers a chic aura.

     

    Ricopin’s Plain Clothes Check: clothes today are boyish

    FH020020 大矢梨華子-fashionsnap-私服_1 大矢梨華子 fashionsnap-私服_2

     “How did you all like this month’s looks? This time around I had my fill of Nadia Flores en el Corazon, a multi-brand store that has a way-too-cute selection of lovely items! All they have is cute items, so I of course recommend their stuff for girly girls, as well as those looking to remove that mannish style. In any case, the article focuses on girly looks, so I made my personal clothes today are boyish. The main piece is the remade shirt with pleated cuffs that I bought at Santa Monica. It’s a simple co-ord, so I used a beret and some sneakers for accent. Spring is getting warmer and the desire to shop is growing, which is fun, right? Alrighty, see you again. Bye-bye♪”

    The key to dressing stylishly with items that transform your silhouette is all in the sizing. The off-shoulder bomber jacket has a short length to add a variation in the overall volume of the outfit. The thick lines on the velour tracksuit bottoms offer an air of elegance and hide your true size. This hairstyle is compact which raises the sharp impression of this co-ords.

    “Did you enjoy the first entry to this series? I hope to carry on introducing my latest fashion and brand interests to you. This time, I styled myself using items from the playful and cute (me). Recently, I’ve personally been crazy over one-tone co-ords. For example, today’s design×pattern look is collectively pink, so it’s not in-your-face. Using the high-neck in a layering style is also my favourite. I’m also showcasing a 1-cut co-ord so be sure to check it out. That’s all for now. Tune in again next month. Bye-bye♪”
