The text on the side just made me love it even more.
Koichi, for his part, chose to divert from his everyday attire in a beaded black coat.
It’s unlike anything I own, so I thought, Why not try it?
The beading detail is incredible, and I just felt so cool wearing it.
Koichis style is consistently classic and refined, which I admire.
He prioritizes quality pieces and understands how to dress his body pop in, Aki says.
Despite being reserved, Koichis passion for life is infectious.
He embraces each day as a chance for discovery, and Ive found our time together incredibly inspiring.
Koichi, meanwhile, praises Aki as a true individual in fashion and beyond.
Akis style is refreshingly her own.
She ignores fleeting trends and dresses solely for herself, which I deeply respect.
Her look is a unique, classic, and wholly individual expression, he says.
Aki is incredibly confident and authentic.
She knows who she is and embraces ita rare and valuable trait.
