“AFFECTIONS” means rich “emotions” including love, respect, goodwill, etc., and is a word used to express warm bonds and connections between family, friends, and even people and animals. The name of the collection “AFFECTIONS BY TAKI” comes from the story of Jane Birkin, who wrote these words on Taki Tanaka’s bag when she came to Japan to perform in the past. “AFFECTIONS” has a different emotion from “LOVE.” A wedding is a day when two families connect with blessings in mind, and a new beginning that creates the story of their lives. With the hope that the happy feelings will last forever, we will deliver with love the destined outfit that will enhance the beauty of every bride.

“AFFECTIONS BY TAKI” offers sensitive products such as Italy’s leading luxury brand “VALENTINO”, New York’s up-and-coming brand “SEPT”, and London-based “HALFPENNY LONDON”. We will carry high quality
collections. In addition, the popular shoe brand “SERGIO ROSSI” is offering Japan’s first shoe rental service. We also have a lineup of men’s tuxedos and shoes. We will open a shop-in-shop for “AFFECTIONS BY TAKI” on December 22nd at MAISON de FOURSIS in Omotesando. [Image 5
The image visual was shot in New York by photographer Masato Nakagawa, stylist Yuki Mayama, makeup artist AYAKO, and hair and makeup artist Yuya Nara (SHIMA HARAJUKU). We focused on four brides of different ages and personalities, capturing their happiness at the beginning of a new life and capturing their inner thoughts that cannot be put into words.
