This collaboration is an explosion of contrasts, blending the timeless beauty of Japanese aesthetics with the cutting-edge allure of a utopian and hyper-tech future. Sakura blossoms burst forth in a vivid explosion of magenta, adorning a handmade garment created by stylist Ryoko Kobayashi (CHASO) exclusively for this concept photoshoot.

Complementing this vibrant color palette, hues of azure sweep across, trying to evoke the serene majesty of classic Ukiyo-e paintings.

Hairstylist & MUA Yuna Kondo performs a homage to the ancient art of Bonsai, each strand a testament to the delicate balance of nature. The makeup is also inspired by the soft hues of sakura petals and the serene tones of traditional Japanese art.
