Visual Story by Photographer Xavi V. and Fashion Stylist & Art Director Ann Gómez 

From award-winning short films in Paris to a sold-out directorial debut at the Apollo Theatre, Eugenia Kuzmina moves through the creative world with an Amazon’s fearlessness — arriving, claiming, and conquering. Her work is guided by instinct, honesty, and a refusal to fit into any box. And once again, she is reaching new heights: this year marks a landmark chapter — a Cannes-adjacent Best Actress award, a bold reimagining of Spoon River Anthology during Paris Fashion Week, and a forthcoming poetry book shaped by archetypes and the Hero’s Journey.

Conceived in collaboration with Japanese artist Yasuhiro Asai, a master of Urushi lacquer and the ancestral Raden technique, the poetic dials of Notte di Luce weaves Japanese artistry into a dialogue with Italian elegance and Swiss horological mastery. Each dial, crafted entirely by hand in the artist’s Kyoto atelier, is a singular creation — a luminous hymn to light itself.
