Natsumi Ogasawara is a talented Tokyo-based stylist renowned for her work with prestigious fashion magazines like SPUR and GINZA. With a background in fashion design, she brings a unique finesse to both her work and her personal style. Today, she wears the Diario Small Shoulder, complementing her simple yet chic style with this refined leather piece.

In the charming streets of Tokyo's Shitamachi, Natsumi sets off on her day. While drawn to glamorous, dramatic pieces in her styling work, her personal style tells a different story. "I use different parts of my brain when I am styling, versus dressing myself ... my personal style is much more about simplicity," she shares, wearing a classic, pearl-white dress shirt paired with an elegant gray maxi skirt, her hair tied back in a neat bun.

She chose the Diario Small Shoulder, adding a functional, yet elegant accent to her minimalistic ensemble. "Having both hands free is a must," she notes. With its spacious yet streamlined design, the bag becomes the perfect companion for her busy Tokyo life.

Stepping into Natsumi’s studio, we are met by a vibrant assortment of colors, textures, and shapes. “It was my childhood dream to be a fashion designer,” she reflects, “but once I started making clothes in school, I realized it wasn’t for me ... My heart responds to dazzling fashion pieces rather than everyday clothes.” Her passion lies in crafting unique worlds and stories—collaborating with hairstylists and photographers to create something extraordinary.

As she curates her collection, selecting pieces for her next project, the Diario Small Shoulder stays within reach. With ample space for her essentials—including her iPad, a vital tool for sketching notes and compiling inspiration—it’s ready to accompany her to her next destination.
