HIROYUKI TAKAHASHI

Hiroyuki Takahashi is an international exponent of Mood Shōjo, an artistic movement born in Japan in the 90s and today very popular among the emerging talents of Asia. In Japan, Takahashi is a true star and, coherently with the Shōjo tradition, wears trendy women's clothes, most often designed by her.

Using the Superflat style developed by Murakami and Yoshimoto, Hiroyuki focuses on the neo-feminist culture that expresses with a pop, feminine and transgressive language, typical of Mood Shōjo. His works are inspired by the imagination of women and represent girls inserted in urban contexts. Hiroyuki Takahashi is very popular on social networks and regularly takes part in parties and events as a guest star. With her graphics she creates fashion and design items, much appreciated by his followers.

TAX

if you LIVE IN EU

If you live in Europe (CEE) the price we show you already includes taxes. The works are taxed either with VAT exposed (22%) or VAT with the margin, if you are a private person you do not change anything, if you are a company: in In the first case, you will recover the VAT, in the second, no. When you put the works in the cart you will be separated from the vat exposed.

If you DON'T LIVE IN EU and you want an EXTRA EU shipping

Many works (not all) have an exposed VAT of 22% included in the price, this vat will be spun off! Obviously you will pay the VAT to your destination country, if due. For example if you live in Switzerland you save 22% but you will have to pay 8.1% to your customs, if you live in Hong Kong you will save 22% and you will not have to pay anything to your customs (lucky you).
