“Village Vanguard Online” is now selling “Furisode Y-shirt” a collaborative kimono / business shirt piece of clothing.
The product was produced by CAMPFIRE and is an item that can only be bought at Village Vanguard Online which re-creates the illustration depicted by the popular illustrator, Shun Akagi.
The model of this item is Idol College’s Haruna Sato.
〈A comment by Shun Akagi〉
I often depict illustrations that contain the design of ethnic costumes such as Japanese clothes and China dresses.
I depicted this illustration because I wanted to mix the taste of Western style clothes and Japanese style clothes.
These days there are not so many opportunities to wear Japanese clothes. But I hope everybody will enjoy wearing Japanese clothes with a casual feeling in the future.
Enjoy this piece of clothing which is a collaboration between Japanese kimono and a Western-styled shirt.

Naomi Osaka is one of the fiercest young athletes in sports today. Now a four-time Grand Slam singles champion, she’s caught the attention of aspiring athletes all over the world with her authenticity and skill. Now, she’s teaming up with Levi's® to release a new collection, available at select stores in Japan beginning August 24. The pieces will also be sold at the official online store.
Crystal Fringe Short : ¥33,000 (Tax Included)
Lace-Up Short : ¥19,800 (Tax Included)
Trucker Jacket Bustier: ¥24,200 (Tax Included)
Denim Kimono : ¥40,500 (Tax Included)
The collection utilizes vintage or upcycled denim to capture Osaka’s preferred silhouette, with each piece utilizing her unique designs based in femininity and sportiness. The Denim Kimono is a respectful homage to traditional Japanese culture. “I loved wearing kimono as a child,” Osaka commented. “I thought if I included one made of denim in the collection, it would be super unexpected and surprising.” This collection also includes two denim shorts: the Lace-Up Short is sportier, and is a clever reimagining of the classic Levi’s® denim shorts. They feature cutouts above the knees, a feminine lace-up back, and were made from upcycled men’s Levi’s® jeans. For those wanting something more girly, the Crystal Fringe Short features a collection of shimmering fringe gracefully dropping down the sides of the cut-off pants. Rounding out the collection is the Trucker Jacket Bustier, a denim bustier with a lace-up back. This is a remake of the Levi's® trucker jacket, cut in the traditional corset style with classic lines, flap pockets, and recognizable buttons. “When I was sketching, the idea of the bustier came to me and I absolutely loved it. Now that it’s been made and is actually real, it’s so much cuter than I imagined. I love it even more!” Osaka commented. This blend of sporty and feminine makes the collection a perfect shoutout to Naomi Osaka’s rich heritage. Most importantly, the collection is made from vintage and upcycled denim, breathing new life into already existing Levi's® items and reducing impact on the environment. “Sustainability initiatives are important to me. What I love most about the collection is how responsibly the pieces were made,” the tennis star said. Which of these four pieces would you like to rock this summer?Information
