Kaori Cipriano

Kaori Cipriano began her path when she left Japan at 18 to pursue fashion in New York. Since then, she has spent more than two decades working at the intersection of art and fashion, managing a showroom, guiding emerging designers, and leading collaborations with brands like Disney, Uniqlo, and Gucci. Her work has allowed her to move seamlessly between creative worlds, connecting talent and building lasting relationships across cultures.

She now lives in Brooklyn with her husband, teenage son, and two cats, surrounded by the art and energy she loves. Kaori draws inspiration from visiting galleries tied to the artists she supports, boxing to clear her head, and caring for her rescue cats.
