INTERVIEW WITH GO FUJITO, PART 2

by S. Charlie Weyman

Fujito is the newest line from Japan to come into the No Man Walks Alone family. The clothes are beautifully made, but not precious; classic without being antiquated. The designer behind the company, Go Fujito, draws heavily from his love of the great outdoors, vintage clothing, and the skateboard and music scenes he grew up with in Japan during the ‘80s and ‘90s. Earlier this week, we talked to Go about his personal history and design process. Today we end with a chat about how he ended up collaborating with one of Italy’s most famous bespoke tailoring houses, Liverano & Liverano, as well as some of his favorite things outside of fashion.

You once did a collaboration with Liverano & Liverano, a bespoke tailoring house in Italy. How did that come about?

A few years ago, one of my customers went to Pitti Uomo and wore my jeans. Mr. Liverano saw them and asked where they were from. My customer contacted me and put us in touch.

I was very honored by Mr. Liverano’s interest, so for the next Pitti Uomo, I traveled to Florence to show him a pair of Fujito jeans. He asked if we could change the pattern a bit, as well as switch up some of the stitching. Back at his atelier, he also gave us a copy of a paper pattern hanging on his wall, which he wanted us to use for the hip pocket. Again, I was very honored because I know how unusual it is for Mr. Liverano to share one of his paper patterns.

We ended up making some samples for Mr. Liverano, and I traveled to Florence a few more times to get his approval on the final production. Our factory was very supportive throughout this process. Today, we still make all of Liverano & Liverano’s jeans in Japan.

A lot of clothing today fits very slim and tight. I noticed, however that you often play with proportions. Some of the garments have a bit more ease built in and  everything looks very comfortable. Do you generally like clothes to fit a bit fuller? What aspects of the cut are important to you?

News is out that manga artist Fujito's series 'Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii' (Love is Hard for an Otaku) is getting an anime adaptation ^_^

The show is being produced by A-1 Pictures, and will air on the Noitamina channel, which means it will also (probably) air on Amazon, since they currently have contract with Noitamina to stream their programming ^^

An official website has opened for the show, which posted up the following short promo for the upcoming, soon to be released 4th volume: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRzXIZhC9BY

In addition, to celebrate the animation of his manga, Fujito drew an illustration featuring all of his characters which you see above (and which also appears in both the promo and the official website ^_^ )

While we don't know anything about the production team yet, we do know who will be playing the main characters:

- Arisa Date (Idol Time PriPara's Yui Yumekawa) as Narumi Momose - Kent Itō (Reikenzan: Eichi e no Shikaku's Shushin) as Hirotaka Nifuji - Miyuki Sawashiro (Fairy Tail's Ultear) as Hanako Koyanagi - Tomokazu Sugita (Gintama's Gintoki Sakata) as Tarō Kabakura - Yuuki Kaji (Attack on Titan's Eren Jaeger) as Naoya Nifuji

No airing date has been given as of yet, but we can probably expect the show to be out either late 2017 (Oct - Dec), or early 2018 (Jan - Mar)
