About

Lost in Kyoto is a fashion editorial produced for Elle Mexico, featuring model Asako Sato in a series of compositions captured by photographer Ivana Micic. The project utilizes natural light to highlight textures in textiles and traditional architecture, framing the subject against wooden pavilions, stone pathways, and garden settings. Technically, the series leans into an editorial aesthetic, incorporating analogue film techniques and clean, vertical compositions. The work documents a dialogue between contemporary silhouettes and historic Japanese backdrops.
