SHU UEMURA - AYA TAKANO

On our trip to Tokyo we got to see Shu's current collaboration with Aya Takano, a famous Japanese pop artisit associated with the 'Superflat movement'. She is heavily influneced by American science fiction and Japanese manga, creating beautiful and other-worldly illustrations. Helena and I have often said that we feel the collaborative collections by Shu Uemura don't always seem to fit with the brand aesthetic, but I think their focus is on keeping the brand rooted in Japanese culture, hence their reoccurring collaborations with Japanese artists. I happen to really love this one!!
