Magazine Madness Otona Muse Japan : Rinka x Fujiko January 2025

OTONA MUSE JAPAN January 2025 

私は高校生の頃から梨花さんが大好きでした、これが私が日本語を学ぶ動機の一つです。彼女の自然な美しさと気取らないスタイルは、東洋と西洋の融合の最高の例です。オトナミューズ1月号の付録では、梨花さんと人気コスメブランド Fujiko のスペシャルコラボが実現。

Born in Tokyo as 根中千恵子（ねなか ちえこ）with French ascendence from her grandmother’s family, RINKA was scouted in 表参道 at the age of 18 and a popular cover girl in fashion industry for over 3 decades, is now affiliated with Stardust Promotion as a fashion model and a host, currently residing in Hawaii, USA. 

Since December 2015 OTONA MUSE issue, Rinka has been presenting an exclusive model and collaborating with freebie development for the fashion magazine. The January 2025 of OTONA MUSE features a plump lip gloss designed from RINKA and manufactured by FUJIKO. The matte package in bluish purple on 『RINKA Fujiko collaboration』off-white text, 1,6g in height 68mm and diameter 16mm, which looks stylish when taken out of the make-up pouch. With light and smooth texture to wear, yet delivers the prominent color retention, Rinka expresses her idea of mature crimson tone of the lipstick, which is, originated from the need of daily healthy glow but excessive glittering of our adult skin, and to formulate this travel size lip gloss suitable for any outfits, regardless of the occasion. 

Enjoying every page turn, Rinka adapts this limited edition of exquisite lip gloss at January issue cover story. Under the lens of photographer HIROKO MATSUBARA and the tips of stylist TOMOKO KOJIMA, Rinka displays her cool wearing GUCCI full black knitwear, nails the GUCCI emerald teal cashmere jumpsuit and metal belt in python shape, as well the CHLOÉ black lace overall dress and creamy cashmere gown, perfectly matches with the touch of the focal point of the crimson shine. 

As for photography, to echo the black and white colour hue of the January 2025 cover, CHANEL Longwear Intense Cream Eye liner together with the brush and lip pencil sharpener are placed atop; N°1 DE CHANEL Red Camellia Revitalizing serum in 5 ml, ROUGE COCO BAUME lipstick #920 In Love, ROUGE ALLURE L’EXTRAIT lipstick #854 Rouge Puissant and LE LIFT eye revitalizer 5ml at right; Longwear lip pencil #186 Berry with its cap and horsehair cheek brush at bottom; LES EAUX DE CHANEL Paris-Paris & Paris-Biarritz EDT 1,5ml, Lip Balm & Powder Duo palette #410 Rosso Pompeiano at lefthand side, the CHANEL cosmetics with the tips of the reddish feel hit coherent with the Rinka x Fujiko lip gloss. 

In addition to situate both the skincare and make-ups collection in well-proportioned orders, I focus on the heights and flats of each product to create the more of abstract looks to contrast the square-sprawling magazine, side by side decorate the glimpse of golden tone from CHAO&EERO Bubble Ring Collection. As I always love to complete the magazine photography by placing a minimal branch from the natural inspiration, and with January 2025 issue am pleased with SØSTRENE GRENE sakura set in crimson red.
