Vogue Japan – Number 327: Style & Substance

(JAPANESE LANGUAGE ONLY)

Vogue Japan is the Japanese edition of Vogue, combining fashion, beauty, photography and culture with a distinctly Japanese editorial perspective. Published monthly by Condé Nast Japan, it brings international fashion together with designers, creatives and cultural voices from Japan.

Number 327, “Style & Substance”, focuses on craftsmanship and the relationship between tradition and contemporary creativity. Tied to Vogue World: Milano, the issue looks at how skills, techniques and ideas are passed on — from Italian fashion craftsmanship to Japanese makers and new approaches that combine technology with handwork.

The cover features Japanese model KAYAKO, photographed by Kodai Ikemitsu. Inside, the issue moves through fashion, interiors, fragrance, beauty and culture, including stories on contemporary Parisian style, personalised perfume, craft-led interiors and the people preserving and reinventing specialist skills.

Other features include actor Mio Imada in conversation with Ji Chang-wook, a story about fathers and sons carrying forward the traditions of Kabuki, an exploration of millinery and a portfolio connected to Vogue World: Milano. Across the issue, “Style & Substance” treats craftsmanship not as nostalgia, but as something continually reshaped by new generations.
