A Glamorous Session with Shining Women, Enjoyable for All
INTERSECT BY LEXUS, which opened last August in Aoyama, a hub of culture, with the theme "Where People, City, and Cars Intersect," features a bistro, shop, and exhibition space curated by top domestic and international creators, including Masamichi Katayama (Wonderwall INC.) and Daichi Tajima. The second-floor lounge, themed around the home of a fictional character called "Mr. LEXUS," offers a multifaceted approach to Lexus's vision of a rich lifestyle, hosting workshops with guests active in various fields.

From January 15 (Wed) to February 6 (Thu), a bold spatial installation themed around beauty will be presented in the first-floor exhibition space, "GARAGE." Titled "LEXUS BY THE BEAUTY," this work intertwines three approaches—photography, video, and flower art—to express the world of the LEXUS brand in three dimensions.
Creating a vibrant space adorned in striking red are top artists leading their respective fields: world-renowned fashion photographer Fadil Berisha, visual design studio WOW, and flower artist Masamichi Kawaguchi. Connecting these three creative approaches is the muse of this work, Lexus Ambassador and model Riyo Mori. As the 2007 Miss Universe World winner, she is the embodiment of beauty, placed at the core of the work where she encounters the pinnacle of Lexus sports, the "LFA."
To celebrate the exhibition "LEXUS BY THE BEAUTY," OPENERS will host a talk event on January 30 (Thu) in the second-floor lounge of "INTERSECT BY LEXUS," featuring the work's muse, Riyo Mori. Former professional tennis player Ai Sugiyama will join as a guest for a talk session themed around "Shining Authentically." The MC will be Yoshiko Ikoma, a journalist well-versed in fashion and art, who will energize the venue with her bright personality and lively conversation.
Sugiyama, whose name is etched in the history of world tennis with three Grand Slam women's doubles titles, two mixed doubles titles, and four consecutive Olympic appearances, will share her experiences alongside Mori, who won the title of "most beautiful woman in the world." Their conversation, drawing from their respective fields, is sure to be filled with hints and encouragement for "shining authentically." We hope you will enjoy this glamorous talk session, fitting for the start of the year.
