HANAE MORI Vital Type:The 100th Anniversary of Birth

This large-scale solo exhibition is the first since the passing of renowned fashion designer Hanae Mori. Beginning her career in the 1950s, Mori thrived as a designer while also fulfilling the roles of wife and mother. Her vibrant and tireless spirit embodied the lifestyle she herself coined as the “Vital Type.” This unwavering approach to life remained constant even as she expanded her activities to New York in 1965 and Paris in 1977.
Through approximately 300 works—including haute couture dresses, photographs, and archival materials—this exhibition explores Mori’s way of life and her philosophy of craftsmanship.
