Fina Créations of Rome is thrilled to unveil its latest collection, “Collezione Stile Eterno,” featuring the esteemed Japanese model, Kazuko Sugiyama. Renowned for her ethereal beauty and graceful presence, Kazuko brings a unique blend of elegance and cultural richness to this timeless collection.
Appearing at the Cannes Film Festival and gracing the pages of ELLE UK in July before landing on the cover of ELLE’s August issue, she continues to shine as a beacon of grace and elegance in the fashion world.
Fashion Modeling: A Path to Positive Change
“As a fashion model, I understand that fashion can change the world in a positive way. I’ve always felt free to express myself and explore beauty through fashion,” she shares. With a commitment to promoting inclusivity and diversity, she understands the importance of celebrating beauty in all its forms.
Her impressive portfolio includes appearances in fashion shows across Japan, and as an international model, she has walked the runways at fashion weeks in Paris and Monaco. Dubai Fashion Week is next on her agenda. Through these global platforms, she aims to foster cultural exchange and deepen understanding among a diverse and ambitious community. “I hope that by promoting meaningful exchange and dialogue, we can bridge cultural gaps and bring about world peace,” she says.
A Memorable Paris Fashion Week
A standout moment in her career was wearing a stunning, yet sheer, dress designed by Italian designer Fina Scigliano at Paris Fashion Week. Featured in GLAMOUR, the dress was a testament to her courage and willingness to take risks. “It was a message from heaven telling me to ‘free your heart and everything,'” she reflects, turning what could have been a daunting experience into a cherished memory.
Overcoming Challenges and Inspiring Others
Her journey hasn’t been without its challenges. After being hospitalized and undergoing surgery three times, she realized the importance of pursuing her passions. “I believe that we are entering an age where everyone will be able to choose what they want to do,” she asserts. She works tirelessly to inspire those paralyzed by fear or anxiety to take a step forward, believing that a world filled with kindness, playfulness, and the pursuit of personal dreams can lead to global harmony and peace.
Future Aspirations in Film
Looking ahead, she hopes to venture into the film industry, aiming to star in a magical, inspiring movie that excites and uplifts audiences, much like Harry Potter. “I want to appear in a film that encourages people all over the world, showing them that with the magic of our subconscious, anyone can make their wishes come true,” she says with a hopeful smile.
Defining Beauty and Mental Well-being
To her, beauty is intrinsically linked to the state of mind. “I believe that beauty is deeply related to the state of mind. I strive to be a person with a beautiful heart, not just a beautiful appearance,” she explains. She emphasizes the importance of self-honesty, gratitude, and self-love, advocating for mental health as the foundation of true beauty. “Always keeping your mind calm will affect both your appearance and your physical health,” she notes.
Staying Young and Healthy
Maintaining youth and health is a priority for her. She starts each day with hot water and lemon, incorporates natural salt and pine needle tea into her diet, and stresses the importance of food, exercise, and sleep for overall well-being. “Moderate stretching and exercise to raise your body temperature are crucial,” she says, acknowledging it as a personal challenge she continually works on.
In every aspect of her life, she embodies resilience, grace, and an unwavering commitment to inspiring others. Her journey is a testament to the power of pursuing one’s passions and the beauty that comes from within.
