遠路はるばるやって来ました。

I came a long way.

The other day I acquired the collector's book "THE SQUARZI ARCHIVE" .

This is the first book published by the world-famous vintage collector Alessandro Squarzi .

This photo book is a carefully selected collection of over 6,000 items.

There are interpretations that differ from those found in domestic collector's books.

Rather, the message conveyed was, "If I like it, I'll add it to my collection."

For domestic collectors, condition is the top priority, and size seems to be as follows (Kusanagi-kun is an exception),

There are many damaged and tattered items and items with many repairs.

This may be a useful reference for those who are interested in vintage clothing.

This publication was announced around summer, and although I searched hard for it, it was not available at any of the major bookstores in my area.

I searched online but many of them were sold out, so I gave up.

Recently, I have developed a passion for collecting books.

I asked Kinokuniya to order it for me because I heard they could do it.

It was published in Italy so I thought it would come from Italy, but for some reason it's France.

Anyway, it arrived in about 3 weeks.

I'm so happy it arrived much sooner than expected!

It's a book I read almost every day,

Needless to say, I was filled with a desire for vintage clothing.

But while denim is one thing, military fashion is complex and difficult...

This is a wonderful book that makes you think like that.

By the way, this is also a trivial matter,

My late grandfather looked a little like this person,

I feel a strange affinity with Alessandro.

When I went on a trip to Milan, Italy, I stopped by the shop.

Going to the shops is the main purpose of the trip.

It's a great restaurant with a great atmosphere and there are many useful things to learn.

I wasn't able to meet him in person, but next time I'd like to do some shopping.

By the way, my grandfather looks like Jack Nicholson ,

I wonder if that will happen to me in the future...

I'm really sorry but I don't care!
