“Japan, for me, will always be my inspiration source.” — Nicola Formichetti

Japan

Old New

Well-preserved tradition Extreme progressiveness

Wild nature Urban spaces

Tranquil gardens Neon-lit city streets

Ancient temples Modern skyscrapers

Empty, abandoned ghost homes Overcrowded subway trains

Traditional kimonos and yucatas Cutting-edge trendy designer clothes

Fine dining Japanese restaurants Fast food joints

Peacefulness of Kyoto Urban sprawl of Tokyo

Japan

Japan is a country of remarkable contrasts where the ancient coexists with the modern. It is a country of immense wealth and natural beauty.

My family was fortunate to have resided there as American ex-pats in the early aughts.
