VESTA 22nd Anniversary｜Aperitivo Elegance by VESTA × Ikeda
To celebrate its 22nd anniversary in December 2025, VESTA by John Ford, a bespoke tailoring house in Ginza and Higashi-Ginza, invites you to a three-day seasonal event: Aperitivo Elegance — an evening of style, culture, and sparkling lights.
This year’s anniversary theme is “Sharing the joy of dressing well.” Together with renowned menswear editor Mr. Ikeda, we welcome you to an intimate salon gathering with sparkling wine, style conversations, and a leisurely walk through the illuminated streets of Ginza and Marunouchi.
A night in Ginza, dressed in your favorite look of the year— this is VESTA’s special Christmas-season experience for adults who appreciate elegance.

What is “Aperitivo Elegance”?
《Aperitivo Elegance by VESTA × Mr. Ikeda》 is a new VESTA anniversary concept designed to enjoy style × culture × personal storytelling in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere.
Highlights
Style talk with menswear editor Mr. Ikeda and VESTA GM Miyuki Kitagawa
A sparkling-wine Best-Style Conversation
Guests are welcome to bring:
coats
suits
shoes
pens, jewelry, accessories — anything that lifts your spirits and expresses your personal style.
Part of the evening will be streamed live on VESTA’s YouTube channel. Guests comfortable appearing on camera may have their outfit or item introduced live with comments from Ikeda and Kitagawa.
Prefer not to appear on camera? No problem—your item can be shown without your face, and audio-only participation is also welcome.
You are free to simply watch and enjoy. No pressure, just two hours of gentle conversation and genuine appreciation for style.
After the Aperitivo: A Walk Through Ginza’s Winter Lights
Following the salon gathering, Ikeda, Kitagawa, and guests who wish to join will stroll through the beautifully illuminated streets of Ginza and Marunouchi.
Possible illumination spots
Marunouchi Nakadori — champagne-gold trees lining the main street
Tokyo Midtown Hibiya – Step Plaza
GINZA SIX rooftop garden (skating rink & night view)
Japanese umbrella light displays highlighting traditional aesthetics
A tailored coat, cape, or suit from VESTA looks its best under winter lights. It is the perfect moment for:
taking memorable photos
enjoying a refined “grown-up detour” before dinner
adding a beautiful memory to a business trip
If you have time afterwards, feel free to join us for another toast before heading home.
Dress Code: Your Favorite Look for 2025
We invite you to come in the outfit that represents “your best self for 2025.”
Examples:
a VESTA-tailored suit or jacket
your most cherished coat
a knit or shirt you always reach for
shoes, watches, pens, or small accessories you secretly love
Here, the star is not trendiness but: clothes you wear with confidence.
It is about walking through wintertime Ginza in your own style, not someone else’s.
