Kyoto
British Vogue
Creative Direction
A wedding editorial inspired by the color red, created for the September 2026 issue of British Vogue.
Set at AKAGANE RESORT KYOTO HIGASHIYAMA, a historic residence built in 1925, where the essence of Japan’s modern popular culture and architecture still lives on.
From a striking red mantilla veil to an immersive floral installation featuring bold red tones — and even vegetables incorporated into the arrangements — every detail was designed to make a statement.
An avant-garde world where an audacious, fashion-forward aesthetic meets the timeless essence of Japan.
Thank you to Sofia Hiramatsu, and such an incredible team for bringing this vision to life.
