An essay that drew attention by depicting Generation Z and contemporary society in the United States from the perspective of a Generation Z member living in America, "世界と私のA tо Z" (Kodansha). This time, we interviewed the author, writer Daniel Takeda, based on Chapter 10 "Fashion Trends for Me" of this book. We asked him how we should think about generational theory, what fashion means to Generation Z, and the relationship between fashion and society.

There has been extensive discussion about Generation Z as well [1].
