Shiseido Chief Hair & Makeup Director, Hirofumi Kera, was responsible for the hair and makeup for Yuima Nakazato's show, which was presented at Paris Haute Couture 2025-26 Autumn/Winter in July.

YUIMA NAKAZATO Autumn/Winter 2025-26 Couture “GLACIER”

This season's theme was "GLACIER," a collection inspired by Nordic glaciers and auroras. It featured silver accessories and dresses made of ceramic, resembling armor, as striking accents. The show included a unique and emotional performance where Yuima Nakazato himself painted live with ink on the body of a performer lying at the center of the runway, using the body as a canvas.

Hair and Makeup Features

Hair: A simple, sleek, slicked back style
Makeup: A texture similar to the ceramic accessories was created with paint resembling liquid metal. With the collaboration of the Shiseido Global Innovation Center, "Second Skin" was modified for this show, with meticulous adjustments to its texture.
