One final FRIDAY feature leads into two different versions of Harumi Inoue’s farewell to gravure. She appears in the magazine’s July 16 issue for what the publisher calls her “last gravure,” returning to the format 27 years after her previous gravure photobook.
Kodansha follows that appearance on August 7 with Inoue’s first digital photobooks, released simultaneously. Le Rouge et le Noir places her in a New York-style studio, using modern interiors, sharp dresses and lingerie. A Certain Woman moves to an inn in Izu, where the photographs use a private-trip premise across post-bath, lingerie and camisole scenes.
