Stunning the world with her "Ninagawa colors," renowned Japanese photographer Mika Ninagawa presents "Mika Ninagawa IN MY ROOM | Cool Guys Portrait Exhibition" in Taiwan, showcasing portraits of 42 popular fashion celebrities and public figures from Japan and Taiwan. With her unique perspective, Ninagawa captures the personalities hidden behind the expressions of these male stars.

The exhibition design is inspired by "private chambers." When it was exhibited in Tokyo's Shibuya last year, it caused a sensation. This is the first overseas showcase of this solo exhibition. The unrestrained yet aesthetic Ninagawa style has drawn attention to the multiple chambers featuring portraits of male stars.

For the Taiwan exhibition, Qiu Shengyi, Bii Shijian, and Liu Yihao were specially invited to participate. These cool guys showcase unique sensuality and charm under Ninagawa’s very personal lens. Limited-edition merchandise planned and produced under Ninagawa’s direction is also available for sale at the venue.
