Introduction by Emily Rudman, Founder & CEO, Emilie Heathe
Takahiro and I originally met through a stylist we wanted to work with for our first campaign launch in 2017. Since that shoot, I have worked with Taka on most major launch campaigns and partnerships, including our 2022 “The Batman” collection. He has won numerous awards for his work due to his keen eye and creative sense. Taka and I have similar artistic passions and aesthetics. It often feels as though we are on the same wavelength creatively, as we come up with similar ideas in execution. Taka is a true photographic artist, and we have even collaborated on an exhibition of his fine artwork in Chelsea a few years back. He is a true partner and collaborator and has been instrumental in supporting my creative vision for my brand and continues to be a wonderful partner and friend.
