Flower Artist TAKAYA Presents "SACHI" Photo Exhibition


Flower artist TAKAYA, who last year curated the all-male photo exhibition 'MEN' featured on OPENERS, will hold his first-ever exhibition of only female subjects, 'SACHI,' from March 17 (Tuesday) to 22 (Sunday) at Gallery Le Bain in Nishi-Azabu, Tokyo. A performance event will also take place on March 20 (Friday).

Thirty 'Hana-yui' creations, born exclusively for model Sachi, will be on display.


Model Sachi, who has walked the runways for numerous designers including Hermès, Givenchy, and Alexander McQueen, blossoms adorned in 'Hana-yui' crafted just for her.

This solo exhibition, inspired by top model Sachi, a muse TAKAYA has long admired, is now a reality. Thirty 'Hana-yui' creations, born exclusively for her, will be gathered in one place.

This exhibition, which maximizes the charm of a single woman from various perspectives, showcases TAKAYA's freer imagination and more evolved 'Hana-yui' artistry.
