The capsule showcases Sorayama’s diverse works, from silver strawberries to ‘Platinum Dream’ slogans and also his iconic Sexy Robots, weaving their decades-long relationship into its fabric seamlessly.

Stella recounts her enchantment with Sorayama’s work in the late ’90s and their subsequent friendship, marked by mutual admiration and playfulness. Sorayama, expresses his affection and admiration, emphasising the importance of self-care and creativity.

Since 1978, Sorayama’s Sexy Robot series has captivated audiences globally, exploring desire, technology, and femininity.
