A fashion shoot for ELLE Hong Kong featuring artist YOSHIROTTEN, actress Kitty Chicha, and photographer Taro Mizutani.

We at paradise produced the fashion shoot for the August 2023 issue of ELLE Hong Kong. For this project, we brought together the exceptional creative talents of three individuals: art director YOSHIROTTEN, internationally beloved Thai actress Kitty Chicha, and globally acclaimed photographer Taro Mizutani. We managed the entire process—from concept development to shooting and final delivery—bringing together the creativity of all three collaborators.

A Global Production System

The project began with a storytelling concept proposed by the ELLE Hong Kong editorial team. Despite a tight schedule and cross-border production, paradise designed a framework that highlighted each creative’s unique strengths. YOSHIROTTEN’s art direction struck a distinctive balance of graphics, space, and color, creating a visual world that captured both Kitty’s delicacy and boldness. Costume styling featured looks from sacai and Saint Laurent, making a bold visual statement that emphasized fashion as a form of expression.

The shoot took place at a studio in Tokyo, where Taro Mizutani’s keen eye and direction produced a series of photographs blending tranquility and strength. His mastery of light and shadow, intuitive timing, and connection with the model transformed the shoot into a singular, immersive creative experience.

For this project, paradise handled everything from scheduling and location coordination to international contract negotiations, editing, and final delivery—all while staying true to the creative vision. As a bridge between global creatives, we ensured smooth communication and clear results, while respecting each person's cultural background and artistic style.

This wasn’t just a one-time collaboration—it showed that when creators from different countries and cultures connect, new possibilities in fashion can emerge. At paradise, we’ll continue to create work that goes beyond the boundaries of art and fashion, grounded in a deep understanding of culture and visual storytelling.
