A popular stylist who works for many women's magazines, including "BAILA," "Marisol," and "Otona MUSE," she is involved in a wide range of work, including styling for commercials and brand direction.

 Naoko Tsuji is a popular stylist who is currently in the spotlight. Her feminine and elegant coordination is highly popular with many women, and she has collaborated with many brands to create products that inspire excitement among women.
 When asked about the item that she is most attached to, Tsuji replied, "It's chic, feminine, and elegant. And it has a gold crocodile strap. It was the perfect look for me," and she mentioned the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Reserve de Marché, which she bought in her twenties. "I think I'll love it forever, until I die," she declared firmly.
 How can you come across one like that?
"Don't get too attached to brands. Of course, the worldviews that brands show us are dreamy and wonderful. However, if you get too hung up on them, your own style will be ruined. I buy what I want, according to my inspiration, in line with my style at the time. Then, this is a more advanced option, but it's also important to choose items that you think will create an interesting chemical reaction when worn by the 'current me', and that will allow you to discover a different version of yourself."

 Another favorite she shared with us was Boucheron's "Delilah" bracelet and earrings. The gold is woven like lace, and the way it sways with the wearer's movements is truly elegant. She discovered them at a boutique in London and "fell in love with the nostalgic atmosphere and the meticulous craftsmanship of the artisans." She spent the next three days visiting the store wearing different outfits, trying on as many items as she could, and carefully selecting two from the wide range of items. She wears them every day and often receives compliments from those around her.
Tsuji, who values ​​"being yourself," shared the secret to wearing jewelry. "First, try wearing it how you want to. Then check your whole body in the mirror. Then, remove anything that feels 'not like me.'" I'd love to try out Tsuji's styling technique.
