powereredby.tokyo partnered with German fashion imprint, MCM, and Hypebeast to create story-driven editorial featuring legendary dance choreographer Rie Hata & Brooklyn photographer Travis Gumbs.
The piece touches on gender-fluid fashion and Rie’s lifelong fight against gender constructs and conservatism in Japan and dance and how their hometowns of Tokyo and New York inform and inspire one another.
