Shot by Maru Teppei, this series with Arta Gee channels a striking black-and-white aesthetic that emphasizes contrast, mood, and movement. Styled by Fiona Green, the looks play at the edge of masculine and feminine—sharp tailoring softened with playful touches, creating a tension that feels both bold and intimate. Hair by Izumi Sato and makeup by Ayaka Nihei added just the right balance of polish and restraint, letting the styling and tone of the images take center stage. The result is a portrait of versatility and edge, captured with a timeless sensibility that feels modern, expressive, and distinctly Maru’s.
