Kaori Nakano
Luxury and Culture Specialist.
Bridging fashion history, British culture, dandyism, luxury, and Japanese traditional craftsmanship, I explore the future of culture through a narrative woven across these fields.
I engage in authorship, education, speaking, and strategic advisory through a distinctive approach that blends the humanities with journalism—all in pursuit of a renewed vision of luxury.
