Florencia Galarza Channels The Vibe Of a Toki Shiso Highball for Her Toki Soccer Jersey Outfit
There is a distinct creative energy that sparks when subcultures collide, and few people navigate those intersection points as effortlessly as Florencia Galarza. As a former professional footballer with a career bridging iconic clubs like Boca Juniors and the Argentine national team, she possesses a deep, intuitive understanding of the sport. Yet, she is equally at home behind a set of turntables or a creative mood board, having built a reputation as a prominent model, DJ, and creative force in New York’s cultural scene. It’s this unique blending of athleticism and street-level curation that makes her the perfect vanguard to showcase Toki Suntory Whisky’s new, Japan-inspired collaborative soccer jersey ahead of the highly anticipated Hypebeast Cup event.
Before heading out to the pop-up in SoHo NYC, Florencia took a moment to walk through her getting-ready ritual. She notes that her inspiration for the day’s look begins somewhere rather unexpected: a cocktail glass. Her outfit choice, she explains, is directly informed by Toki's aromatic Shiso Highball. "The word aromatic shiso, I feel like it's, you know, a simple, light vibe," she notes, highlighting how the drink's clean, refreshing, and balanced aesthetic serves as a creative blueprint for her fashion sense.
That statement piece carries plenty of depth on its own. The jersey draws heavily from Japanese design sensibilities, blending classic sportswear references with details that reward a closer look. In many ways, it reflects the same philosophy found throughout modern Japanese fashion, where personal identity and craftsmanship often matter more than chasing trends. That perspective feels particularly fitting for a collaboration between Hypebeast and Toki Suntory Whisky, both of which understand how culture travels across borders through shared passions.
Visually, the jersey balances simplicity and detail. A clean white base serves as the backdrop for black underarm paneling, a contrasting collared V-neck and vibrant red piping that runs along the raglan sleeves. Layered beneath those bold elements is an intricate tonal print that quietly textures the fabric without overwhelming the design.
The centerpiece of her look is the collaborative long-sleeve kit, an intentional piece of wearable culture that blends Western streetwear with deeply rooted Japanese design elements. The jersey itself features a sharp white silhouette punctuated by a classic black collar, bold underarm paneling, and a striking, line art Tokyo-inspired architectural skyline anchoring the lower edge. On the chest, bold red kanji typography sits opposite a nostalgic katakana script spelling out "Suntory Time"—a nod to the House of Suntory's Japanese heritage of tradition and reinvention. "Out the gate, I love a long sleeve, so I'm definitely going to wear this," Florencia says. "We love a collar. This is a fantastic kit. I absolutely love this."
When it comes to the execution of her style, Florencia subverts standard match-day attire by incorporating a dose of personal history. Standing before a clothing rack, she laughs while admitting she wanted to bring her own spin to the look, "which hasn't really evolved since middle school." She styles the oversized, graphic-heavy jersey with a heavy-set pleated navy mini-skirt, contrasting the athletic, boxy lines of the top with a playful, structured silhouette. To anchor the ensemble, she pulls on crisp white crew socks and slides into a pair of rugged, classic burgundy loafers, bypassing standard sneakers for something with a bit more lifestyle grit and old-school charm.
This approach to styling mirrors the core philosophy behind Toki itself. Just as Florencia takes a piece of functional sportswear and remixes it into a highly sophisticated, fashion-forward statement, Toki honors time-tested Japanese distilling heritage while reinventing the classic highball into something modern and distinctly refreshing. Her multi-hyphenate career across music, sport, and fashion acts as its own social catalyst, perfectly matching the jersey's intent to bring people together over a shared appreciation for craft, design, and culture.
Stepping out in the completed look, Florencia effortlessly balances pitch-ready heritage with pavement-ready streetwear style. Before giving a final wave and heading out to celebrate with New York’s creative community at the Hypebeast Cup, she effortlessly juggles a soccer ball in her loafers, demonstrating that no matter how elevated her style becomes, her connection to the game remains entirely authentic.
