MODEM ACCESSORIES Spring Summer 2015

“

CARTE BLANCHE” TO

MOTE SINABEL AOKI

SEPTEMBER 2014

For this edition, which is dedicated to the Fashion Accessories Collection S/S 2015,

we gave carte blanche to

Mote Sinabel Aoki

a Japanese photographer and visual artist.

He grew up between Tokyo and Los Angeles, where he has been exposed to different

creative influences and cultural scenes.

After completing studies in architecture and art, he launched his career as a creative

director, and established his design studio in 1993. He subsequently started to work on

many successful Japanese fashion campaigns, and various art and music projects,

and eventually decided to focus on photography, as he considered it to be a powerful

medium of expression. His images and videos, both for artistic and commercial purposes,

are filled with subtle beauty, and convey sensitive and atmospheric emotions.

Mote Sinabel Aoki

has published numerous books and limited edition artworks in which

he explores various photography genres and topics, including portraiture, landscapes,

artworks, fashion and architecture. His most reputed works include a collaboration

with designer

Riccardo Tisci

for the multi-format publishing company Visionaire, an

advertisement campaign for Adidas, and portraits of Los Angeles-based contemporary

artists, such as

Paul McCarthy and Terence Koh.

As of today,

Mote Sinabel Aoki’

s works have been exhibited in Paris, Rome, Cannes,

Rotterdam, and Tokyo, among other cities.

Ezio Barbaro & Modem team thank their partners and wish a great season...
