子供の頃、お母さんのワードローブからこっそりあれやこれやと引っ張りだしてきては
ひとつひとつ袖通して、ボタンを閉めて、足を通して、ファスナーを閉めて…
大人のコーデって、なんかちょっとファニーで不思議な組み合わせになるんだな、なんて笑って。
いつか、私もこんな服を着る日がくるかな？女の子なら一度は味わった事があるあの感じ。
あなたはまだ覚えてる？ そして今の自分を見つめてみて。
My mother was a true blue clothes horse (let’s call her a pony, “horse” sounds terrible). Her closet spilled out of the one my mother and father shared into half of my brother’s, and then into half of mine. She came of working age in the 80s, so there were lots of colorful patterned collar shirts and “power” blazers in which she would remove the shoulder pads (they’re “icky”, she’d say. Progressive!!). As a child, I remember trying them on, swimming in their long sleeves. I wondered if there ever would be a day I`d understand this kind of fashion, or ever figure out how to wear it without giggling. Being a little girl trying on mature clothes is always a strange, magical experience…one that we easily forget. I was reminded of this while scrolling through the Akane Utsunomiya Spring 2016 catalog.
