Ayane’s Feminine Fusion
Ayane, who is expanding her career across Singapore and Tokyo, brings a touch of nostalgic charm to the collaboration. With the backdrop of Singapore’s vibrant cityscapes, she showcases the white FINAL FANTASY XIV x VOGUE JAPAN T-shirt. Ayane effortlessly elevates the look with a sophisticated twist, incorporating elements like a rhinestone-embellished mini-balloon skirt, grey high socks with a black ribbon accent, and Mary Jane shoes. This combination creates a delightfully feminine aesthetic that’s both modern and sophisticated. “I aimed for a balance between the classic coolness of the VOGUE logo T-shirt and the sweet design of the other items,” says Ayane, emphasizing the strategic pairing of these elements. Ayane also highlights the importance of defining the waist, stating, “I used a classic belt to cinch the oversized T-shirt, creating a flattering silhouette.”
Riko’s Layered Elegance
Riko, a model who also serves as the creator of her own jewelry brand, TALANTO, embodies the spirit of the collaboration. With a deep appreciation for the FINAL FANTASY series, she styled the black FINAL FANTASY XIV x VOGUE JAPAN T-shirt in a captivating way. Drawing inspiration from her own personal style, Riko layers a unique one-piece over the T-shirt, creating a modern silhouette that’s both stylish and effortlessly cool. “I chose a simple black T-shirt and layered it with a slightly different one-piece,” she explains, “I tied the T-shirt at the back and added a belt to accentuate the waist.” Riko’s styling techniques, like the layering of the one-piece as a skirt and the creative way she cinches the T-shirt, are easily adaptable and add a touch of sophistication to everyday looks.
Shohei and Jen’s London Street Style
Model Shohei and his partner Jen, based in London, bring a vibrant urban energy to the collaboration. They chose both black and white L-sized FINAL FANTASY XIV x VOGUE JAPAN T-shirts, offering the flexibility to share the pieces depending on the day’s mood. “It was really hot in London today so I opted for shorts,” Shohei says, “but it can get chilly in the shade, so I layered a checked shirt over the VOGUE T-shirt. I always love pairing my favorite T-shirts with a checked shirt!” Jen adds, “We plan to alternate between the white and black FINAL FANTASY XIV x VOGUE JAPAN T-shirts. I want to add some cool styling elements like rolling up the sleeves or tying the waist.”
Pinky’s NYC Streetwear Flair
Pinky, known for her Y2K-inspired style, brings her signature flair to the collection. She pairs the white FINAL FANTASY XIV x VOGUE JAPAN T-shirt with denim, adding a bold touch with an Aime Leon Dore cap featuring the New York Yankees logo and Cazal sunglasses.
