Me and Vintage Clothing
When you hear 'vintage clothing', some might think it's just 'used clothes'.
However, those clothes might be a cherished piece for someone, a special outfit for an important day, or a heartwarming gift handed down from a loved one.
Reflecting on the encounters and memories with 'vintage clothing' bought at a favorite store or handed down by someone can make you realize the special connection between yourself and vintage clothing. Returning to the affection and care between me and vintage clothing might be similar to looking back at photos from a trip.
The 'Me and Vintage Clothing' contest is an online photo contest sponsored by , which believes in the potential of fashion and has created vintage culture under the concept 'Make Your Attitude'. The aim is to explore the unique relationship between 'me' and 'vintage clothing' and discover your own original vintage style.
In this contest, please photograph and submit the vintage clothing you have cherished so far. In the caption, write about the episode of meeting that piece or the memories of going out wearing it.
Moreover, with the hope of creating new memories with vintage clothing, the best work will be awarded a 'USJ Pair Ticket'! We look forward to many entries.

Among the vintage clothes at home, those with particularly memorable or cherished ones are likely hung carefully in the first-string corner. I even hang them on slightly better hangers to prevent them from losing shape. Try capturing scenes that convey such affection for vintage clothing.

Alternatively, it might be good to photograph your favorite vintage clothes, camera, and paintings bought on a trip together. While reminiscing about the clothes you've worn for a long time, capture the moment when they look their best.
