RYUTA TOMONO – REBIRTH OF ILLUMINARE COLLECTION

In articles by Natalie Lynn Hyndman

I want to share this REBIRTH OF ILLUMINARE COLLECTION by RYUTA TOMONO.

The collection is inspired by Byzantine art with all the richness of its details and elements. It is also a vindication of craftsmanship by designing thousands of strands of hair, a technical and creative achievement for Ryuta Tomono.
“When we contemplate the images, we perceive them as sculptures. For creating them, the hairdresser has modelled and used 3D printing for an impeccable and surprising fusion between art and hair. The looks represent the dichotomy between night and day. On the one hand, the world overflowing with the brightest light from the sun and, on the other, the one that is submerged in the darkness of the night illuminated only by the light of the moon and the stars. All expressed through the hair that adopts the necessary force to convey his message.”
