BORN EMPOWERED

BORN WITH STYLE.
BORN FOR BEAUTY.
BORN TO CREATE.

NOW, TWO PASSIONS UNITE TO GIVE RISE TO THE ULTIMATE THE GINZA CREAM: EMPOWERIZER.

The campaign concept 'BORN EMPOWERED' was inspired by the product name 'Empowerizer' and the fearless, timeless avant-garde creations of the legendary Yohji Yamamoto. The product movie is a pure expression of distinctive magnificence and impassioned creativity. The bold yet delicate close-up visuals reveal the handwritten brushstroke by Mr. Yohji Yamamoto and the artistry of meticulous production details, conveying both brands' passion and dedication to timeless yet innovative craftsmanship.

Beauty and fashion ultimately exist to create essential connections with the wearer; our communication aims to deliver and connect the collaborative message on a deeper emotional level, intuitively resonating with the inherent empowerment that stems from us in today's world.

BORN EMPOWERED
服は、肌か。肌は、服か。
美しさは、揺さぶるか。
唯一無二であること。
まとうのは、あなた自身だ。

ザ・ギンザ x ヨウジヤマモト
いま通い合うふたつの情熱が、ザ・ギンザ最高峰のクリーム「エンパワライザー P」Yohji Yamamoto Limited Editionに結実する。

BORN EMPOWERED CREATIONS｜唯一無二、生粋のエンパワーメントを纏う––– 創る人の精神が宿り、その魂の衝動が疾走するかのようなプロダクト・ムービー。Yohji Yamamoto氏手描きのブラッシュ・ストロークと、製品の細部へのこだわりを1枚のアートのよう捉えた大胆で繊細なクロースアップ・ビジュアル。両ブランドの共鳴する哲学、時代を超えた革新的な職人技への情熱と献身を、エレガントかつエンパワメントなメッセージでコミュニケーションしています。

ファッションとビューティー、それは纏う人との本質的な繋がりと美しさを創り出す文化。ブティックを前身に持つザ・ギンザスキンケア誕生時以来から継承する「まとう美学」を、最高峰のファッションブランドヨウジヤマモトと現代に体現。今を生きる私たち生来のエンパワーと共鳴するコラボレーションが生まれました。
