Supermodel Elton Ilirjani walked in two Global Fashion Collective shows as part of New York Fashion Week SS2025 in New York City.  Elton displayed the incredible designs of Japanese Naoko Tosa and Jemma Russo to excited audiences seeking to be the first to see the new trends which will travel the globe.

Naoko Tosa is a creative artist driven to express the interrelationship between different media, such as voice and sound, and the visuals that represent them. Influenced by Nam June Paik, Naoko has been creating video art since her twenties, and one of her works has been collected by the MoMA.  The name "Sound of Ikebana" originates from the fluid movement that resonates with sound vibrations, which is often invisible to the naked eye. This fluid resembles the asymmetrical shapes found in Japanese Ikebana, representing the harmony between heaven, man, and earth. The voice of a newborn was recorded and played through speakers, while the resulting fluid motion was captured with a high-speed camera at 1/2000 of a second, creating a unique interpretation of Sound of Ikebana. One of these moving images was then printed onto fabric to create clothing. For more information, please visit www.naokotosa.co.jp
