Special invitation to brand friend: famous Japanese actress Chie Tanaka, appeared in a UUIN exclusive custom dress

UUIN Creative Director Liu Zichao said, "This collection draws inspiration from the artist's work ' The Galaxy ,' transforming the geometric silhouette of a kite into a unique garment language. The diamond-shaped collar on the chest sways gracefully as the wearer walks, like a kite soaring through the sky. The color palette, inspired by the red and blue in the artwork, adds a vibrant touch to the overall look. Functional fabrics are sewn into a classic dress silhouette with a futuristic feel, showcasing UUIN's unique, contemporary, and meticulous design perspective."


UUIN Creative Director Liu Zichao further stated, "Shinmiya Susumu's work deeply focuses on sustainability and education. Crossing over into the fashion world, he has even created art installations for Issey Miyake . His fearless spirit of boldly crossing boundaries shares many similarities with UUIN 's brand DNA . Therefore, the brand boldly invited fellow Japanese actress Chie Tanaka to co-design a custom red carpet dress for this event."

Chie Tanaka said , "The most special thing about this collaboration with UUIN was the opportunity to participate in the entire process, from design meetings to gown production. I was involved in every detail of the process, and for the first time, I witnessed the entire process of a gown's creation, from design drawings, pattern making, prototype production, fittings, to final production. It was a truly precious and special experience for me! I'm so grateful to the brand for inviting me to wear this beautiful, one-of-a-kind gown that embodies the UUIN brand spirit."
