Elle Mexico Lost in Kyoto 2025

About

Captured by photographer Ivana Micic for Elle Mexico, this editorial image titled Lost in Kyoto features model Asako Sato standing centrally on a covered wooden pavilion walkway. The floor is lined with a vibrant red carpet that contrasts with the dark wood beams and structures of the traditional architecture. Rows of round red lanterns with white circular patterns hang symmetrically from the ceiling, creating a framing perspective that draws the eye toward the subject. The model wears a long sleeveless dress with floral and blue watercolor-style motifs. Natural daylight illuminates the scene from the open central courtyard, which reveals lush greenery and traditional Japanese garden structures in the background.
