A promotion that explores the beauty of the art of couture that is sweeping Roppongi Yuima Nakazato is the only Japanese designer who continues to present collections as an official guest designer at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. In 2024, as he marks the 15th anniversary of his brand’s establishment, this moment presents a perfect opportunity for him to take a leap into a new chapter. To commemorate this milestone, a rare exhibition is being held, offering a close-up look at his creative works.

These remarkable pieces offer a glimpse into the future of fashion. At the entrance of the exhibition, visitors are greeted by a stunning display featuring a piece from YUIMA NAKAZATO worn by figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu in his photobook, alongside a breathtaking screen of photographs by Mika Ninagawa.
