Number (N)ine menswear, Spring/Summer 2006.

“My favorite brand is definitely The Soloist. The designer, Miyashita-san, is a real artist. In most cases, he is the first designer who makes new styles, and many brands and companies follow his brand. It’s very common now to see “rebuilt” clothing, but Miyashita-san was doing that already 20-plus years ago. I used to work for Number (N)ine in Tokyo; I learned a lot about fashion then. But even now I still learn a lot from him, through his work and conversations with him. I still remember when I put one of his jackets on for the first time when I started working at Number (N)ine. I was so impressed and felt so happy to wear it. I feel the same every time I wear his clothes. His art makes people happy. We need this kind of clothing now.”  — Naoki Hamano
