Sacai is the definitive leader in Japanese high-fashion innovation. Known for its complex mixed-fabric construction and hybrid silhouettes, the brand demands a visual approach that is as layered as the garments themselves. I led the creative and art direction for a campaign that spanned two iconic locations: Burbank and Tokyo. This project was a comprehensive exercise in international team management and technical styling. My objective was to translate Sacai's avant-garde design language into a cohesive digital story that resonates across both Eastern and Western fashion markets. Directing a multidisciplinary team across two continents provided a unique opportunity to explore the versatility of the Sacai aesthetic. In Burbank I worked with actress Caylee Cowan to capture the brand’s lighter side. We focused on a monochromatic white palette that played off the crisp California light to highlight the intricate textures of the fabric. For the Tokyo segment of the capture I collaborated with Shoko Palm to lean into the city's nocturnal energy. Shoko was styled in an all-black ensemble that mirrored the sophisticated urban landscape of Japan. My role involved every facet of production from the initial creative concept to the final video edits. I managed the on-set talent and production crews while overseeing the styling of these complex pieces to ensure they remained the focal point of every frame. Directing this team while working alongside such high-level talent was a highlight of the process and allowed us to push the boundaries of traditional fashion photography.
