Fujii Minaho’s Comments
CECIL McBEE has been my favorite fashion brand for a long time. When I was interviewed by SHIBUYA 109 in 2019, I was asked a question “What is your favorite fashion brand?”, and I swore, “I’ve loved CECIL McBEE for a long time!”.
I purchased some CECIL McBEE items in the late 1990s for the first time, and since then until 2020, CECIL McBEE has really helped me out. I can always find the perfect clothes for me, and the shop staff is always kind enough to teach me some industry-specific terms and have a nice conversation with me.
Now in 2021, I can collaborate with CECIL McBEE, which is filled with memories. This collaboration is still like a dream, and I’m glad that I have kept loving CECIL!! Please enjoy the dream-like collaboration between GALS!! and CECIL McBEE!!

Detailes about “GALS!!” X CECIL McBEE Collaboration Items

■GALS!! X CECIL McBEE Kotobuki Ran’s Leopard Inner Set
Price: 13,200 JPY (incl. tax)

Fujii Mihona’s Comments:
This leopard set is perfect for both a cool style and gal-style coordination, which really matches the image of Ran!
The set can be worn in a jumpsuit style by putting the camisole in the pants. You can also enjoy more varieties of styles by coordinating it with various accessories, shoes, and jackets♪
I recommend that you wear it with a mods coat to add some more accents in the fall, or you wear it with a jacket and pumps to make it look cool!

■GALS!! X CECIL McBEE Kotobuki(Yamazaki) Miyu’s Tunic Dress with Lace
Price: 13,200 JPY (incl. tax)

Fujii Mihona’s Comments:
The tunic dress with refreshing and gentle mint green matches Miyu’s image well!
It is suitable for wearing by itself in a girly style, or coordinating it with pants in a casual style♪
The mint color goes well with brown and white based colors as well as a white-colored or denim style item, so please choose your favorite jeans, hats, boots, and sneakers with it!

■GALS!! X CECIL McBEE Hoshino Aya’s Irregular Hem Stripe Dress
Price: 13,200 JPY (incl. tax)

Fujii Mihona’s Comments:
The dress with a design of pale salvia blue and a stripe pattern perfectly matches Aya’s lovely and cool image♪ A dress with an irregular hem is cute, as it softly flutters when you walk. This item is perfect for your work, date, and casual occasion. I also recommend that you coordinate it with a jacket and cardigan for a modest style, or with a denim jacket and sneakers for a casual style♪

■GALS!! X CECIL McBEE Honda Mami’s Floral Pattern Jumpsuits
Price: 13,200 JPY (incl. tax)

Fujii Mihona’s Comments:
This item is the elegant and cool jumpsuits with floral patterns, which perfectly recreates Mamirin’s image.
A frill on the shoulder, a hemline with a good amount of volume, and a ribbon belt, will make your coordination look even more fantastic♪
The design is also great for a date and resort stay. I recommend that you coordinate it with a dark-colored jacket in the fall to blend a cute and cool style.
