Reacting to Naomi Watanabe's 7 Days, 7 Looks by Vogue

Naomi Watanabe is one of Japan's biggest stars, and her comedic talent and loveable nature has helped her gain international recognition and status. She first became famous in the country when she performed Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love" during a variety tv show, and has amassed a large following and stardom since then. Her outfits of the week showcase that the idea of dressing as a plus-size person and celebrity should not be centered around hiding the body or depressing and aging motifs and materials. It's a beautiful thing to get to see such a sense of joy from her dressing, which easily incorporates traditional Japanese clothing like the "Geta Sandals" as well as more modern Japanese fashion aesthetics like "Kawaii". The brands she wears range from the likes of Area, Vaquera & Loewe to Urban Outfitters, and a brand I've become rather obsessed with post-watching, Lazy Oaf. Naomi Watanabe's persona and comedy prove she's a star, but the outfits she showcases present her as a fashion icon in the making with a legacy that will live on!

“Stains are proof of a piece of clothing’s life” is such a great way of looking at it. When looking at an item of your clothing, you want to feel the history behind all the times you wore it and how loved it was.

[@lisettegarcia]

Loving your clothes means taking them to a tailor to camouflage a stain or refashion the garment altogether if it needs updating to your current style. Disregarding damage shortens the life and value of your treasures; it is not a badge of honor.

[@huang2571]

Right?? Just like scars on human beings. It tells a story. Means you lived life!

[@lisettegarcia]

@Luci Evelyn - whatever caused the stain -- be it blood, wine, oil or ink -- will accelerate the decomposition of the fiber content in that spot at an accelerated rate as compared to the rest of the garment. This is why vintage dresses are sometimes just fine in visible areas but shredded under the arms where untreated sweat stains degraded the silk. This is less true for more durable (ie virtually non-biodegradable) synthetic textiles but they hold odor more so who is trying to hold onto that??!

[@lisettegarcia]

@Luci Evelyn - I'm understanding corrosive as meaning battery acid or bleach but even tap water contains trace metals and salts so that is also damaging to certain textiles, hence dry cleaning...

[@cigiss]

Ummm no, it makes you look uncared for.

[@naomiclub5656]

THANK YOU💗💗💗

[@primsion4787]

WAIT REAL NAOMI??

OMG! KZbin you should give Naomi her own verified icon already jeeeshh

THE QUEEN HERSELF

[@marikotrue3488]

I wear mostly black with dark wash jeans, but looking at Naomi Watanabe's 7 looks is like an icy drink on a hot day, refreshing and invigorating. My fav was that green and pink print dress. There wasn't a look I didn't love, although I will not be wearing the tengu geta anytime soon due to balance issues not fashion.

[@simont390]

This is by FAR the best one of these vogue videos I've seen. Honestly Naomi's taste sense is i m p e c c a b l e

[@k1k0000]

while her style is nice, that’s stretching it.

[@pigeondance]

i agreeee i wanna dress like her!!! in a similar cheerful and bright way

[@hhall7193]

Can we talk about her eye for accessories? The date outfit paired with the Heaven necklace and dainty rose dangling earrings was genius. I'm so delighted by this woman.

[@Liz_Crowley]

Luke: Constantly identifying designers, bringing out the historical references, pointing out trends Me: Proud of myself for recognizing the robe

[@emmak.1313]

Marimekko robe? :D

[@lindseymbarrow]

Thats Marimekko, It's popular in Japan

Yep Lindsey is right, it's Dusen Dusen

[@worrywirt]

Me but with lazy oaf 😅 I love that brand!

[@kuroon7553]

As a Brazilian who grew up wearing Melissa..... Seeing that nowadays it's worldwide and it does collaborations with famous designers.... It's so crazy 🤣 it used to be like "little kids" shoes... And we'd wear it with socks because the plastic gave you THE WORST feet smell and sweat 🤣🤣🤣

[@i_treasure_u_forever3523]

They are really cute. I went on their website and the designs are amazing.

[@AlivonO]

I have a couple of those shoes, I love them!

[@davidcartin7164]

I love how she went from wearing a satin hat to being a satin hat. She is amazing!

[@nataliaalfonso2662]

I absolutely adore how she dresses a little differently, though still on her style, for different places. Like little costumes for a better mis-en-scene in the movie if her life. I do that too whenever I travel. Or even when I’m going to different places locally. And as a native born and bred NYer, I think she really nailed the NYC vibes. This was the best 7 days/7 looks, hands down.

[@jokerx3570]

She got me to fall in love with the cloud date outfit. I am going to a date next month. ( I haven't went on a date for four years+). I am definitely steal her line "do you want to go heaven with me?" IT SOOO ADORABLE!

[@lynlyn3446]

Best of luck...you got this!!!

I love love love Naomi’s style. She’s so fun and honestly she always instills the fact that you can wear whatever you want to me. Also Lazy Oaf is one of my favorite brands. Get into it. They’re fun and quirky!

[@darkanddandy6898]

YES! I was hoping that you'd react to her video! She recently moved to New York and was part of Beyonce's latest IVY PARK campaign!

[@48mavemiss2]

Delia’s making a comeback is the best news I’ve heard in fashion in a minute. I remember how excited I used to be as a teen to get the catalog in the mail

[@HannahDecember]

But Delia's has always been back. They're available on Dollskill. I know Dollskill is a bad brand but they've been available on the site for a while already.

[@sophiaramos1812]

@@HannahDecember yea Delia’s been making moving for a while

[@aria6491]

I love Naomi's streetwear(?) brand, PUNYUS, it's so much fun, great prints, who doesn't want a fugu/edamame etc all over print sweat set? Having sizes at all is kinda rare in Japanese streetwear that I've seen anyway so having plus sizes is so important. Also love all the Lazy Oaf, if I had more money I'd live in LO, they have such good prints. They've also done a couple of recent collaborations with Melissa, super cute.

[@GKFF9872]

Naomi reminds us that fashion can and should be fun and expressive of your personality. Her aesthetic and energy shows us she is colorful, joyful and fun.

[@124soyeon]

I am loving the reactions to Asian fashion. Their cultures have different fashion histories as far as silhouettes, fabrics, patterns, etc that manifest in their respective fashion styles today. Culture is everything. There is just so much for us to learn from each other!

[@henriquejambu]

OMG!!! Melissa is an extremely popular brand here in Brazil, I had no idea they're known internationally :00 I'm so happy, i love their shoes so much and love that many more people can experience them too!!! Also Naomi's was definetly one of my favorites from these Vogue vids

I am from TX. They were really famous here in early 2000s.

[@cownamedlary]

I love her, she is so interesting, and I loved her in the recent Ivy Park collection.

[@may.k_me]

My favorite was the cloud date outfit Probably because that's something I would wear myself. And it was really cute. I loved the whole look. The other looks were also very cute and fun and I enjoyed watching her. I also really liked what she said about stains, that they are proof of a piece of clothing's life. I love that.

[@nlbhaduri]

Naomi’s middle name is “No Fear”, I LOVE her!!!

[@vicbess5758]

its really nice to see someone with a different body type taking risk with fashion... gives me a little courage to step outside of my usual box

[@itsreelydalin]

This video made me so happy! I've been a long time watcher of your videos and as a plus size person, who dresses very similar to Naomi, it makes me feel so accepted and admired that you dig her style as much as I do. Also fun tidbit: Melissa actually did a collab with Lazy Oaf ;) It was ADORABLE and I'm still on the hunt for the red x pink shoes.

[@lanalentschke2230]

Out here making my workdays bearable, love the 7 looks videos

[@kissingwookiees]

YES! so excited to see you reacting to this. naomi definitely stands out as one of those figures i turned to when i was growing up and starting to develop my own style. EDIT: omg coming back here to say that if you love that dress you should definitely check out more of lazy oaf's stuff they're such a cutesy and casual style fashion brand one of my absolute favorites! and that dress is very in line with their over all aesthetic.

[@StefSoleil]

I love her so much, I'm so glad you made this video! I love that she does her thing and doesn't just wear skater dresses and whatever else the fashion industry tries to sell to us plus size people as "flattering." I'm obsessed with the Wednesday look, I want that coat!

[@mvrw8998]

I love seeing Luke actually enjoying himself during one of these, so rare & we love it

[@rebbit8767]

That Vaquera dress looks like it transformed her into a Card Captor Sakura character and I'm HERE FOR IT, WE LOVE NAOMI 💘

[@BlessMyHart96]

Her shoe game is too strong 😍

[@riem2079]

God shes so fun and cute and positive, I had a smile on my face the whole time as I was watching. And I love how brave she is with the prints and colors, it's always refreshing to see someone play around with clothing like that.

[@puggirl415]

I loved this 7 days video so much. I have a place I save videos called "Just makes me happy" Naomi's video is definitely saved there for when I want to see fashion as it should be. Exuberant, not aspirational, fearless, inclusive. I will look for more from Naomi Watanabe. Great that you reviewed this.

LOVE LOVE LOVE HER FEATURE ON VOGUE she has such an amazing personality and is such a fashion icon

[@_T048]

10:45 there’s something about this outfit that speaks to me- that hat is so fucking cute and quirky and unique and it pairs so perfectly with everything else going on. I feel like the look would be broken if even one of those elements wasn’t there, and that’s what makes that outfit so important. The pairing was key, and it was knocked out of the park. The understanding of color and shape is phenomenal, and I hope to see more like it in the future.

[@jessicamillslagle3203]

I am at 12:06. I am obsessed with the fashion! I have a boiler suit in my Amazon cart right now.... I just have to say, I am 38, I was 100% the gal wearing babydoll dresses and combat boots 15 years ago. It was an edgy style at the time. I'm so happy to see the trend resurface. ☺ I feel so validated and seen. 😍💓

[@ultimatesportsmedicine4395]

I fell in love with her when she was on Queer Eye Tokyo. She has a beautiful personality and she is gorgeous!!

[@Thefashiongoddessnyc]

Lazy oaf is one of my fave brands..its uk based very small run by 2 women...I'm obsessed with Japanese Fashion so I'm very happy that you reviewed Naomi's looks and loved them too! She also has a brand called Punyus..

[@ripmyyouth]

She’s so freaking pretty 😍

[@Momoko4ever1]

Honestly beyond the clothes and fashion, I love how she’s bringing out confidence for plus size women.

[@justpeachy4469]

Yess Ive been waiting for this one! Her taste is immaculate and unique

[@morganshryock4847]

Lazy Oaf is popular in the "kawaii" fashion communities, they have a lot of cutesy and colorful stuff. There was a Lazy Oaf cardigan that everyone was *obsessed* with like 5 years ago haha

[@coleenferris]

I’m so glad I found this video. I recently stumbled upon your channel and I have really enjoyed your commentary on the expensive fashions. I’m happy to see you discuss this more down to earth fashion style. I loved her cloudy date night look. I’m glad you can appreciate big girl fashion.

its so fun seeing you react to brands im more aware of (more casual alternative designers that lets be real most of us found out abt thru dollskill) since ive defs learned about other areas of fashion from this channel

[@juliaschaffer2720]

Melissa is such a great brand. I’ve been wearing them for years. Super chic and colorful. Also beyond comfy.

[@AryaLynch]

I've been wondering if you'd ever cover Naomi Watanabe and I'm so thrilled you finally did!

[@snehatitus8994]

One of the best videos I have seen!! She is so comfortable in everything she wears!

[@kittykat490]

Looooove this vid, love her and love your commentary! Also you should look up Lazy Oaf! They're kind of like cutesy streetwear, casual, but high quality. Makes total sense that Naomi shops there!

[@mekko902]

I'm so glad you reviewed this! I'm pretty obsessed with Naomi Watanabe, and buy stuff from her brand, Punyus, whenever I can find it here in Taiwan. Living in Asia it's really hard to get fun plus-sized clothing, so I effin' love her. I finally have some color in my wardrobe again thanks to her, although I can't feel comfortable in the giant jeans. I've bought two pairs and have turned them both into skirts because they're just soooo roomy.

[@r.t.murakami2731]

Thank you so much for making this video and loving Naomi-san! Also, she has a street brand called PUNYUS in Japan. Super cute stuff.
