Free online exhibition featuring Nana Komatsu as the model. And the release of LA MUSEUMʼs very first photo book capturing the behind-the-scenes of the shoot

LA MUSEUM x NANA KOMATSU

The upcoming online exhibition, launching on July 18, 2025, will showcase a total of 54 historical garments created between the 1960s and 2010s including selected looks from the ongoing exhibition “1950s‒2010s History of Modern Fashion Design”.

These pieces, born from diverse cultural backgrounds such as the United Kingdoms, France, United States of America, Belgium, and Japan, were brought to life by some of the most talented fashion designers of their time. The exhibition is free to view.

Rather than dressing mannequins, this exhibition features Japanese actor Nana Komatsu as the model for an innovative 3D scanning project. Every garment is presented on her, with each pose freely and expressively crafted by Komatsu herself, who embodies the role of a living "mannequin."

By using a real human form, the silhouettes of the garments are brought to life in their fullest potential. This virtual museum format, which would be impossible to realize in a physical gallery, proposes a new interpretation and exciting possibilities for the future of fashion exhibitions.

A documentary photo book titled LA MUSEUM NANA KOMATSU sharing its name with the exhibition captures behind-the-scenes moments from the two-day 3D shooting session held on January 12‒13, 2025.

Shot by photographer E-WAX, the book will be available for limited pre-order in a special edition with an exclusive cover via the LA MUSEUM Online Store from July 16 to August 3, 2025. The standard edition is scheduled for general release in late September 2025.

ABOUT LA MUSEUM 

LA MUSEUM is an online museum that exhibits an extensive range of garments from the past. Clothing and fashion have evolved alongside different lifestyles and cultures since the end of World War II. This museum curates and exhibits said garments online according to the theme of each exhibition. Anyone with a digital device and internet connection can easily view the pieces from any location. 

LAILA, the founding company behind the museum project, and collectors from different countries will pick out clothes and accessories from a database of 20,000 pieces (as of June 2024), which have been photographed and digitalized using 3D technology, and showcase them to the rest of the world. Not only can you see the exhibited clothes in 360 degrees, but you can also see each intricate stitch and the inside of the clothes. 

Hideo Hashiura, the director and curator of LA MUSEUM states the following. “We aim to define a new way of appreciating art for both fashion aficionados and avid museum-goers. LA MUSEUM, which is worthy of calling a digital database of fashion, will not only be a priceless source of inspiration for current fashion designers but also a revolutionary research archive for future fashion and art students. We also plan to collaborate with universities and colleges to create a program where students can visit the museum for free. Moreover, we'll utilize NFTs to organize special projects for each exhibition, such as inviting fashion experts for tours and creating fashion books.” 

In a world where contemporary fashion is at risk of being co-opted by commercialism, we aim to focus on the "Art of Fashion." Our main objective is to preserve the artistry, creativity, and craftsmanship of clothes that humans have made with their own hands for future generations and contribute to the fashion industry and society at large to carve out a more meaningful and valuable future for fashion design. The museum opened online from July 1st 2024. 

In the same month, a YouTube channel was also launched, featuring in-depth interviews with experts from both within and outside the fashion industry. While fashion remains the main subject, the channel also explores a wide range of topics including art and entertainment, delivering video content to audiences around the world.
