The renowned painter Hiro Yamagata and Leica have teamed up for a dream collaboration.

It's been cold since last weekend, and there's even a forecast for snow in Tokyo. Are you all enjoying winter fashion?
CHALIE, who is sensitive to the cold, seems to have taken a trip to visit a friend in a warmer climate, and is apparently relaxing somewhere in southern France, planning her next move.
I recently received the first letter of the year from CHALIE, so I'd like to share it with you.


To all of you who always love Charlie Weiss Salon
Better late than never, but Happy New Year!

Well, at the beginning of 2017, I was able to welcome a wonderful friend.
The Leica Sofort, released just last November, is an instant camera that could be considered a new frontier for the brand. I am pleased to announce that I will be the first to unveil a model of this camera, which features artwork by the internationally acclaimed painter Hiro Yamagata, transferred onto its body, at my gallery. This is a product I am very proud of, a result of a strong collaboration between Hiro Yamagata and myself, who both agreed on the appeal of being able to instantly share the subjects we photograph.
You might also have some other surprising encounters. I highly recommend you come and visit.

THE GALLERY by CAHLIE VICE will be showcasing "The Dream Collaboration Between Hiro Yamagata and Leica" until January 31st (Tuesday).


Leica Sofort Hiro Yamagata Model: ¥41,580

The Leica Sofort is Leica's first instant camera that can be enjoyed in a variety of situations.
This is an appealing item that lets you enjoy viewing your photos right after you take them. In automatic mode, it utilizes natural light as much as possible without activating the built-in flash, allowing you to capture subjects in a natural atmosphere.
Whether it's a party, an outdoor event, or any other occasion, why not capture those wonderful moments you've experienced and share them with your friends?


CHALIE, who has been using several Leica cameras since she was young, including the one her grandfather used, says she's using this new Leica camera to make new friends.
The design, featuring artwork by Hiro Yamagata, is eye-catching, and he says that women approach him at parties.
In today's digital age, carrying around an analog camera might be a way to impress women.

*The Leica Sofort Hiro Yamagata model is currently available for pre-order, with delivery expected from late February to early March. Please contact a staff member for more details.
