Katsuya Kamo
Born in 1965 in Fukuoka, in 1988 Kamo joined the mod’s hair hair international salon chain, where he served as a hair and makeup stylist for fashion magazines, advertising, and catwalk
shows in Japan and further afield. In 2003 he scooped the main prize at the 21st Mainichi Fashion Grand Prix, becoming the first non-fashion designer to do so since launch of the awards in 1983. In 2015 Kamo established his own business, KAMO HEAD.
Following his death in 2020 a collection of his work, also titled KAMO HEAD, was published in 2021.
