A Rody Like You've Never Seen Before!
Rody, a ride-on toy inspired by a horse, was born in Italy in 1984. Its endearing appearance and wide range of colors have captivated countless children and adults. Beyond toys, Rody has expanded into a diverse lineup of collaborative merchandise with various companies.
To celebrate Rody's 30th anniversary, a special collaboration with photographer Mika Ninagawa, known for her vibrant use of color, has brought this project to life.
The featured models include Anna Tsuchiya, Kozue Akimoto, Marie Sara, Mona Matsuoka, Mitsu Dan, and Nanao, among 30 other prominent beauties of the moment. Against the backdrop of colorful Rodys, Ninagawa creates a photographic world that evokes princesses from fairy tales, rock-and-roll aesthetics, and even moments of sensuality—a vision only she could realize.
You can't help but exclaim, "I've never seen a Rody like this!" "Oh! My RODY" awaits you with a dreamlike world woven by these beautiful women and Rody as you turn the pages.
