1ROUROU: Chinese Delights
Nov 03 2005: In the theatrical setting of Tokyo’s Teien Art Museum in Meguro former model Maki Hayazono uncovered her latest collection for her label ROUROU.
Kjeld Duits: Excellently expressed by Paul. The truly Asian designs of this show were a delight after the many European centered creations of the past week.
Unfortunately, we photographers were literally put out in left field during this show. We had to shoot outside, in the dark, with rain falling. Two terrible spot lights were the only illumination to cover the models, who initially also stayed too far away from the photographers.
So I am afraid the heavily contrasted photos don’t do justice to the beautful creations we got to see.
Hopefully, designer Maki Hayazono will pay more attention to the needs of the fashion photographers in the future. Her work certainly deserves it.
