Kayako Higuchi in 'La Mutante' by Thibault-Théodore Babin for Numéro France September AOC Fashion

Japanese model Kayako Higuchi is styled by Edem Dossou in ‘La Mutante’, lensed by Thibault-Théodore Babin for Numéro France September 2021. You may recall Higuchi from Burberry’s Spring/Summer 2021 show, where she shed her long, shiny hair for a buzz cut. The pressure on her to conform to Japan’s beauty ideals forced her temporarily out of modeling and into her folk-pop hybrid band called Ofuro de Peanut. And then Higuchi hit London where she fit right in.
