1. Dive inside the new Winona Ryder book
Gen Z may know Winona Ryder for her role as Joyce Byers in hit Netflix show Stranger Things but older fans remember the 52-year-old actress as a true icon of the 90s and early 2000s. Her androgynous style and elfin beauty, not to mention her high profile relationships with fellow A-listers like Johnny Depp, were widely documented in the media back then.
Ryder has kept a low profile in more recent times but her enduring influence on fashion and beyond is immortalised in The Winona Book, a coffee-table book featuring over 100 photos of her, mostly taken by long-time friend and former Marc Jacobs staffer Robert Rich. Jacobs, one of Ryder’s favourite designers, wrote a foreword for the book, which is a fun and intimate look into one of the most enigmatic and private Hollywood celebrities.
2. Takashi Murakami’s bold new works on display in Kyoto
Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, known for his Superflat art that often depicts cute humanlike flowers and fantastical creatures inspired by Buddhism and Japanese history, is the subject of a large-scale exhibition in Kyoto.
Entitled “Takashi Murakami Mononoke Kyoto” and held at Kyoto City Kyocera Museum of Art, the exhibition will showcase 170 predominantly new works, most of them never shown before in Japan, and also shed light on the artist’s long-standing admiration for Kyoto and its artistic traditions. It runs from February 3 until September 1 – so plan your next trip quick.
