Fashion Eye Kyoto by Mayumi Hosokura

In her series of images, the Japanese city is surrounded by shades of azure, in which the fundamental elements reveal the sacred, between tradition and modernity. This chameleon, intangible blue, which sometimes dons indigo outlines or sea-green shades, insidiously infuses her subjects, whether they are ordinary landscapes, urban fragments, blossoming trees, ancient rocks, timeless rituals, or diaphanous teenagers. With skill and fragility, Hosokura reveals the mysteries of the ancient imperial city, which has not lost any of its mystery or modernity.

Fashion Eye gives rise to an unprecedented dialogue between emerging talents, seasoned photographers, and fashion photography legends.
