Miho Kinomura, known by the avatar name MIOMIO, is a professional specialising in AI fashion design and digital visual direction as an AI filmmaker, with a focus on fashion and beauty visuals. After gaining recognition as a designer for a prominent fashion brand in Tokyo, they relocated to New York City, where they founded and led a fashion photography agency in Brooklyn. Collaborating with renowned fashion photographers such as Ellen von Unwerth and David LaChapelle, they produced high-quality advertising visuals for global clients, travelling extensively worldwide.
Now based in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, MIHO KINOMURA has expanded their expertise to advertising production and music videos, working with an international creative team on TV commercial visuals. Since 2005, they have directed advertising campaigns for cosmetic companies and fashion brands, serving as both a video and creative director. In 2021, recognising the shift towards Web 3.0, they transitioned into digital ventures, founding innovative projects that merge generative AI with fashion visuals. Starting in Tokyo in 2022, the NFFT (New Future AI Fashion Technology Event) gained attention for its exhibitions and AI-focused networking opportunities.
As an AI Prompt Director and filmmaker, they continue to create luxurious fashion visuals, pushing the boundaries of AI-driven creativity. Their 2023 Christmas campaign for the Japanese fashion brand PARCO utilised generative AI, marking Japan’s first-ever generative AI fashion advertising campaign. MIHO KINOMURA has received numerous accolades, including a Bronze Clio Award in the Innovative Media category, and contributed creatively to the BEAMS 30th Anniversary Project in collaboration with Nick Knight’s SHOWstudio. They also serve as Creative Director for events such as the ASVOFF Fashion Film Festival Tokyo.
Among their notable achievements is winning the highest award at the Italia Vogue/ASVOFF Fashion Film Festival with the short film J'ai Faim!, directed by Miho Kinomura and featuring actress Rina Ota.
Avant-Metamorphosis
In "Avant-Metamorphosis," we explore unimaginable avant-garde combinations using the latest generative AI technology. This project focuses on whimsical pairings, envisioning a fictional avant-garde fashion brand that merges three-dimensional motifs, such as diamonds and crystals, with fashion in ways that transcend conventional human creativity.
The visuals portray a runway show dedicated to this innovative brand. By building a foundation through a series of complex prompts, we design every element—music, visuals, and more—entirely through generative AI technology.
