Men's Non-no July 2001

This is the July 2001 issue of Men's Non-no.

What kind of year was 2001?

Before introducing the magazine, let's look back on what kind of year 2001 was.

Economy

The dot-com bubble, the so-called IT bubble, which started in the late 1990s, mainly in the United States, headed for collapse when the short-term interest rate was lowered by the Federal Reserve Board at the beginning of 2001, and the world economy slowed down in 2001.

After that, the terrorist attacks on the United States occurred on September 11, but the stock price of the United States recovered early due to the government's aggressive financial and fiscal policies.

The Japanese economy, which had been recovering since the beginning of 1999, crossed the peak of the economy in October 2000 and entered a recessionary phase.

Although the first Koizumi Cabinet, which was established with the aim of structural reform, decided on a so-called bold policy, the unemployment rate exceeded 5% and personal income remained sluggish throughout the year due to severe employment and income environment, and consumer prices. The downward trend continued, and the deflationary trend became stronger.

At that time, I was a 21-year-old third-year college student. Looking at the lineup of this hit song, I strongly feel that it was a youth. I remember very well that I put "Naminori Johnny" in the MD that I played in the car going to the summer seminar camp.

If you look at it now, it's a fresh shade of 00s.

Well, first of all, the cover page. Tadanobu Asano, one of the leading fashion leaders in the late 90's.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160221j:plain

The back cover is an advertisement for Shiseido uno's bleach and bleach return. Masahiro Nakai.

TAG Heuer ads.

Seven Star Advertising.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160234j:plain

Right page, Nissan X-Trail advertisement. It appeals to the good compatibility with outdoor sports such as surfing and MTB where you are concerned about getting wet and dirty.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160238j:plain

Right page, Toshiba mobile phone advertisement. An email service with an image and music called "Paramelo!". By the way, I didn't know that there was such a service.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160242j:plain

Special "Border & Stripe 2001". The T-shirt on the right page with a fresh border pattern in a thick and crisp color is from Caban de Zucca. The designer is Akira Onozuka. It is a brand of the Issey Miyake family, and although it was not very popular at that time, I have the impression that it has gained a certain amount of support. At the moment, I do not feel that it is being re-evaluated both in Japan and overseas, but it may be possible that it will be re-evaluated in the future.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160246j:plain

A Bathing Ape T-shirt.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160259j:plain

The denim jacket and T-shirt on the right of the right page are from Freedom Leaf Cosmic Wonder Jeans, one of the Cosmic Wonder lines.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160304j:plain

Cosmic Wonder is a Japanese designer brand that was popular at the time, especially jeans.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160309j:plain

Speaking of which, I thought that I hadn't seen it for a long time, and when I looked it up, it seems that the brand is now quite Japanese. It seems that the production base is an old folk house in Kyoto.

N.HOOLYWOOD's three-quarter sleeve T-shirt with a fairly deep neckline and eye-catching flashy colors. The multi-colored striped pants are Paul Smith.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160313j:plain

A collection of items with border and stripe patterns. After all, the color and pitch are quite fresh from the current sense.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160317j:plain

 

Is it a little expensive? Cheap coordination

"Cheap & Peace! Mastering summer style" is a "fashion special feature". First of all, "Coordinating battle with tricks of 6 up-and-coming stylists from 12300 yen to 23500 yen". It's a special feature on super-discount coordination because it says, "It looks fashionable even if it's cheap, and I'd like to recommend this summer's style." ..

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160321j:plain

At that time, fast fashion brands were not major, and UNIQLO, which is a symbol of low-priced brands, made a break with the fleece boom, but at that time it was still far from fashionable.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160325j:plain

So, most of the low-priced items used in this special feature are used clothing and military items. At that time, there were only so many clothes that were cheap and fashionable.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160329j:plain

 

Men's sleeveless

"Cool & stylish sleeveless capture manual".

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160333j:plain

In 2021, I don't think I see many sleeveless men in the city. As you'll see on the Street Snap page later in this issue, men's sleeveless wasn't as rare as it is now.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160337j:plain

However, it was not widespread and common. At that time, I was just sleeveless and never went out.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160341j:plain

Will the era of men's sleeveless reinstatement come in the future?

The latest version of Sports Mix

This is a continuation of "Fashion Special Feature: Cheap & Peace! Mastering Summer Style".

"Three popular stylists are the best! Sports mix latest version". First of all, "Football Remix". The model is Takahiro Okazawa, who later marries Ryoko Hirosue.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160345j:plain

Shoes for futsal have been picked up. It's a vague memory, but I think futsal was becoming more popular at that time.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160349j:plain

Next is skateboarding. It's a skater fashion with a beautiful impression because the mode is mainly men's non-no, but this atmosphere is still cool even now. The colors based on beige and navy are also nice. The skater's style has the goodness of evergreen.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160353j:plain

This page focuses on outdoor brands such as Montbell and Gramicci. The black T-shirt was also one of the outdoor brands at the time, and it was Moncler's luxury, which had no shadow or shape. 9,800 yen.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160358j:plain

 

Buffalo Bobs from the used clothing store era

Next is a special feature on how to dress, but the way you dress is very timely. The first thing I noticed on this page entitled "Casual Chic" was wearing jeans with a long roll-up and a waist. It is unique to this era that showing the rugged belt gives a slightly masculine or rather aggressive impression.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160402j:plain

This is "real mode". However, I feel that the impression is not so different from the previous page ... This one is characterized by a cushion at the hem that has a fairly dull feeling without roll-up.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160406j:plain

Next is "used clothes mix"

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160410j:plain

Items for used clothing and remakes of used clothing are from Buffalo Bobs.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160419j:plain

Buffalo Bobs, which later became synonymous with Onii kei, recently learned that it was a vintage second-hand clothing store at the time. 

Buffalo bobs are also camouflage pants. The leather shoes on the right are Paul Harden, which I was longing for at the time.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160414j:plain

"Sports mix". The axis is the blue track pants and orange work shirt of Lonsdale, England, which started as a boxing brand. These shades are also fresh.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160423j:plain

The red Nike sneaker is a model called ROTATIONAL.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160427j:plain

The successor model is still on sale today. It's like sneakers for hammer throws, shot puts, and discus throws.

Matching the track pants is the square toe of the Italian shoe brand Silvano Mazza, which was very popular at the time.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160431j:plain

And "monotone". The rugged atmosphere is also fresh here.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160435j:plain

Air Presto was a sneaker that symbolized Nike at the time.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160439j:plain

The sneakers designed like the trimming in the center are from the British brand Royal Elastics. The mainstream brand had a relatively flashy design, but it's relatively simple, so it looks like it can still be worn.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160443j:plain

Reasonable special feature that is quite expensive

"High quality and high design at this price! BEAMS style! Real reasonable style", BEAMS special feature with an emphasis on price. However, as mentioned in this issue of the article so far, in 2001, before the appearance of the fast fashion brand, short-sleeved shirts cost 19,000 yen, which is a fairly high product lineup considering the current price.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160447j:plain

tops. When you look at it now, you can see the distinctive fresh colors such as yellow, orange, and blue. It seems that large plaids and border patterns were the mainstream.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160452j:plain

Pants, shoes.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160456j:plain

UHL SPORT brand soccer training shoes.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160500j:plain

It is a German football equipment manufacturer and seems to be currently developing as a "specialty keeper brand".

Small items and miscellaneous goods. Compared to other select shops, BEAMS still seems to be focusing on miscellaneous goods, but I remember that the assortment of BEAMS miscellaneous goods at that time was quite diverse.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160504j:plain

A multi-colored wallet chain is good, isn't it? The Arc'teryx bespoke beam scalar backpack is likely to add value if it remains.

Rock taste that has already spread

"Summer fashion Q & A15".

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160521j:plain

It's still a while before Eddie Slimane's Dior Homme and Number Nine, which swept the 2000s, became very popular, but as of 2001, this kind of rock-taste styling has already appeared. The sleeveless cut-and-sew is Dior Homme, and the "NEW YORK CITY" print T-shirt is a synonymous item for Number Nine.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160525j:plain

High-impact belts and low-rise jeans seem to have been popular items as of 2001.

Etro, a long-established Italian brand, sells sneakers, and the number 44, a popular select shop at the time, handles it, and the price is 24,000 yen, which is a surprisingly simple dish.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160631j:plain

Berluti shoes, a brand synonymous with luxury shoes, are 98,000 yen!

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160636j:plain

Looking at the current Berluti site, I could not find the same model as ↑, but there are many models with similar models that cost at least 230,000 yen or 300,000 yen. In other words, it has risen two to three times in the last 20 years.

www.berluti.com

Moreover, the general theory is that the quality of leather was higher at that time, so from now on, it can be said that Berluti at that time was a considerable bargain.

On the left page, "Goods of the Month" are sunglasses. Popular eyewear brands of the time such as Christian Roth, Wolfgang Proksh, and Alain Mikli are lined up. It was an era when eyewear attracted a lot of attention, which was incomparable to what it is now.

Afghan stall popular background

"Jeans style of the month".

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160756j:plain

Afghanistan is symbolically used because "the aim was to create an image of the earthy soil of the Middle East and deserts."

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160800j:plain

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160804j:plain

On September 11, 2001, the terrorist attacks on the United States occurred, and then the Afghanistan conflict broke out. The Middle East will be the center of attention around the world.

I was born in 1980. The oldest memory of the conflict in the Middle East is the 1990 Gulf War.

f:id:yamada0221:20211118151914j:plain

https://www.pinterest.jp/pin/326862885460382734/

After that, tensions continued in the Middle East, but there were no major conflicts in the living room.

However, it may be combined with the increased chances of seeing people in the Middle East wearing Afghan stoles in the newsreel of the 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. The number of people wearing Afghan stoles has increased.

f:id:yamada0221:20211118145331j:plain

https://www.pinterest.jp/pin/598275131733650592/

At that time, there was a brand that launched an Afghan stall. Raf Simons Fall / Winter 2001 collection.

Did Raf Simons foresee the terrorist attacks on the United States?

As mentioned above, the terrorist attacks on the United States occurred on September 11, 2001. And since Raf Simons featured the Afghan stall in the Fall / Winter 2001 collection, it may seem like it was after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States.

However, the men's collection is held more than half a year before the product is actually delivered to the store.

Raf Simons' Fall / Winter 2001 collection was unveiled in Paris on January 7, 2001. In other words, it is a collection that was announced before the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States.

Was it a coincidence, or was Raf Simons foreseeing the future?

The Spring / Summer 2002 collection continues to make me think that it may be the latter.

 

"Terrorist period" announced before terrorism

The Spring / Summer 2002 collection is a collection that truly symbolizes the era of terrorism, with men wearing masks reminiscent of terrorists walking on the runway with torches. It is called the "terrorist period" among fans.

This seems to be a collection that reflects the global keyword of the time, terrorism, but the Spring / Summer 2002 collection was announced in July 2001. This was also before the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States (it took a long time to identify each collection schedule).

Raf Simons gained popularity due to their high creativity, and the archives at that time are now soaring to the point of being unprecedented, such as being worn by Kanye West.

However, this kind of creation that looks ahead to the times is also supporting its immense popularity.

Now let's get back to jeans styling. A wallet chain with jerky attachment.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160810j:plain

As of 2021, the wallet chain has become far from the trend due to the subsequent expansion of rock taste, the spread to the masses through older brothers, and the obsolescence.

Nike at that time seems to be a winter era.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160851j:plain

I don't think the Air Presto Phase, the successor to the hit Air Presto, was a hot topic at the time.

Speaking of Gravis, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Speaking of Hiroshi Fujiwara, Gravis

Instead, Gravis was gaining popularity. As it says "Nike, Gravis, and Adidas", it is introduced in the second position after Nike by suppressing Adidas in the sneaker special feature, so you can see the high popularity at that time.

Speaking of Gravis, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Speaking of Hiroshi Fujiwara, Gravis. Hiroshi Fujiwara probably pushed the biggest reason why Gravis became a popular brand. Popular brand Hiroshi Fujiwara has a high-quality shade based on clean gray.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160859j:plain

At that time, I wasn't interested in Gravis at all, but now that I see it, I want it. I think it's a good design that won't fade over time.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160903j:plain

Gravis was originally launched as the footwear line of Burton, a brand known for snowboard wear.

Hiroki Nakamura, who is currently working on visvim, was also enrolled in Gravis at that time.

However, at the beginning, it was a shoe brand that developed sneakers and boots.

With collaborations with Comme des Garcons, the scale has grown steadily, and visvim is now like a luxury brand. The high popularity of Gravis in the early 2000s is probably due to Hiroki Nakamura's achievements.

Interesting because of the winter era

Let's go back to the magazine. Adidas is mainly reprinted items.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160908j:plain

Sports sneakers. After the frenzy of the Air Max boom, it's no exaggeration to say that 2001 was a winter era, not just for Nike, but for the entire sneaker. Even though Gravis was popular, it was limited. There were some sneakers that were reasonably popular, but no sneakers that could be called a blockbuster were born.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160913j:plain

But that's why I now know that there were so many interesting sneakers. Looking at it like this, all the sneakers have a unique design. I completely forgot about ASICS'Apomixis, which is the second from the bottom left, until I saw this issue.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160917j:plain

Brands such as Colombia, Timberland, Merrell and Oakley that don't have much of an impression of sneakers are also quite unique and attractive. It was probably unpopular and could not be reprinted, and even if the dead stock of the time was miraculously found, it would not be practical to hydrolyze. So, the only way to enjoy it is to look at the magazines of that time and think about it.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160921j:plain

Casual type.

The second item from the right on the second row is MUJI. The design is quite strongly inspired by the popular shoe brand Ludwic Reiter  at the time.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160929j:plain

Oh, the second from the right in the second row here is the Ludwic Reiiter. It seems that ASICS was developing the airwalk at that time.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160934j:plain

This would have been difficult to collect. Gradation of 100 colors of sneakers.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160938j:plain

The Puma Mostro on the far left of the second row was reasonably popular at the time.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160942j:plain

Nike's Air Zoom Haven on the far left of the third row was a little popular in collaboration with Junya Watanabe, but at that time it was usually lined up at outlet stores.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160946j:plain

Puma California, the second from the right on the third row, was popular in the late 90's. The impression that the girl matched with color skinny pants such as Cimarron is very strong.

The leftmost Montrail on the first stage is the first look. The design and the color gradation from black to gray are also wonderful.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160954j:plain

collaboration.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108160958j:plain

There was a collaboration between Paul Smith and Reebok.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161003j:plain

An exhibition in which Dunlop collaborated with the creator. It seems that it was held at the select shop, Agost shop, which was popular at that time.

The left is Caban de Zucca. I thought the female print T-shirt on the right was Hysteric Glamor, but it was from TMT, an American casual brand that was popular at the time.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161019j:plain

It seems that this brand is still developing with the American casual taste as it is.

On the left is the Poetry of Sex, a brand that often appeared in fashion magazines at the time.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161027j:plain

I remember the name, but what kind of brand was it? Even if I try to google it, there is almost no information. The outline of the brand is as follows.

Poetry of Sex is a fashion brand founded in Japan by Shinji Chiba. Shinji Chiba himself is also involved in the concept and design of the brand.

fashion-collect.jp

In collaboration with art director Junichi Tsunoda, popular illustrator Tomoo Gokita and other artists from various genres designed T-shirts and started under the brand concept of connecting the world of fashion and art.

ameblo.jp

According to this 2010 article, Shinji Chiba seems to have died.

tacomafuji.exblog.jp

The print design is generally simple.

Artist collaboration. This page also picks up 3 Poetry of Sex T-shirts.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161035j:plain

 

The stylist and model are the original influencers

The feature at that time was that the presence of the stylist was overwhelmingly stronger than it is now. As a proof of that, T-shirts by stylists were released so that pages could be assembled in this way.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161039j:plain

And there are many model collaboration items. The central non-native, which later gained popularity as a domestic brand, was mentioned as the model Satoshi's brand at that time.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161043j:plain

Nowadays, the number of stylists and model brands has decreased considerably. Instead, influencer brands such as Instagrammers and YouTubers are becoming more popular. The stylists and models at that time were probably the forerunners of today's influencers.

Fashion brands were originally originated by fashion designers, but in 2000, stylists and models connecting fashion designers and consumers began to work on fashion brands.

And now consumers are working on fashion brands as influencers.

Where will the origin of fashion move in the future?

Next is sports. In addition to surfing, skating, BMX, etc., there are also many martial arts. At that time, martial arts were also gaining unparalleled popularity. That influence has spread to fashion in this way.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161047j:plain

Music, movies. Here and there, there may be some that are now overpriced.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161052j:plain

What is more worrisome than that is Takuya Kimura's clothes. Wristband on a shirt with a pattern like the 1960s.

Interview with Tadanobu Asano.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161104j:plain

The content of the interview is about the movie that appeared. First of all, "Distance" directed by Hirokazu Koreeda. It was a work I didn't know, so when I searched on YouTube, a full-length video was uploaded.

www.youtube.com

Next is "ELECTRIC DRAGON 80000V" directed by Satoshi Ishii. You can also watch the full scale on YouTube.

He also talks about "Ichi the Killer 1" directed by Takashi Miike. I read "Ichi the Killer 1" from the original manga, and I went to the theater to watch the movie at that time. You can also watch this on YouTube, but please be careful when watching it as it is quite shocking.

At that time, Tadanobu Asano appeared in many fashion magazines as a fashion leader, but it turned out that he was also a fulfilling actor in his main business by continuously starring in works where famous directors take megaphones. increase.

Left page, Asami Imajuku.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161124j:plain

Isn't it one of the representative models of late90s ~ early00s?

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161129j:plain

Why are there so many mini pouches in street snaps?

"Tokyo / Osaka T-shirts & accessories, coordination examples". It's a street snap feature. Men's Non-no is basically a magazine with a strong mode color, but the snaps picked up here have a rather strong street color.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161133j:plain

What is interesting is that many people have a small pouch on their waist. Brands include Yoshida Kaban Porter and outdoor brand Gregory. I think this is probably to put in a mobile phone.

f:id:yamada0221:20211125125359j:plain

The feature phones that were mainstream at the time were thicker than today's smartphones, so putting them in your pants pocket would get in the way. In particular, jeans sometimes get stuck in the form of a feature phone, so people who like clothes probably put it in the pouch like this. In other words, it changed the fashion of communication devices.

f:id:yamada0221:20211125125403j:plain

By the way, at that time, I had a feature phone in my pants pocket, and when I kept the strap attached to the feature phone out of my pants, the pocket was worn out.

Also, I don't think it's irrelevant that there were more young people smoking at that time than they are now. Perhaps these mini pouches contained feature phones, cigarettes and lighters.

 

The heyday of low-tech sneakers

And it's pretty impressive that everyone is a printed T-shirt.

f:id:yamada0221:20211125125412j:plain

I think there are more plain T-shirts now. By the way, at that time, almost all T-shirts I wore in the summer were printed T-shirts.

f:id:yamada0221:20211125125408j:plain

All shoes are low-tech sneakers. It's easy to see that 2001 was a complete high-tech sneaker boom.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161137j:plain

The green T-shirt is an undercover cows collaboration. It's summer, but everyone wears long pants. And 5 out of 6 people are jeans. In retrospect, shorts didn't have much citizenship as a fashion item at the time. The silhouette is neither thick nor thin, and is a regular silhouette.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161141j:plain

Even if there are so many people, there are no shorts. Zero high-tech sneakers. Mainly Converse and Adidas.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161145j:plain

The silhouette of the pants is still regular, but there are few flares, and skinny seems to have been worn by a unique (advanced?) Layer.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161149j:plain

At that time, I was addicted to Comme des Garcons, so when I saw Garcon's items such as ↑ dot T-shirts and ↓ studs shoes, I got excited. Not only the mini pouch but also the wallet chain stands out around the waist.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161153j:plain

 

Sun visor popular source

There are many hat variations such as straw hats and pork pies.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161158j:plain

The sun visor was a big hit because it was worn by Ayumi Hamasaki's back dancer at that time.

f:id:yamada0221:20211108161202j:plain

Shop staff snap. At that time, Mr. Doiji of BEAMS, who frequently appeared in magazines as a press, is also young. Since it is summer, there are many accessories such as bracelets. Mainly those with a masculine atmosphere such as Native Americans and studs.

And, after all, there is a mini pouch on the waist. It is from Vandarise, a brand created by Hironori Ichinose, who launched the undercover while attending Bunka Fashion College with Jun Takahashi.
