Between the harmonious match of Yo Hoyosamada’s intimate illustrations and the delicate, decorative nature of lantern craft - there was a full-circle moment.

Bioré is no stranger to influence - as Japan’s best-selling sunscreen brand it has deep roots in functionality, simplicity and finding inner glow. They were celebrating the launch of their Aqua Rich Glowy Weightless Moisturiser, and Halpern London hosted a very special event at CLAP KA-FE in Knightsbridge.

Growing up in Tokyo, Yo has been using Bioré sunscreen since she was 13 years old. When Halpern reached out asking her to lead the Japanese Lantern decorating workshop, traditionally called chōchin, this collaboration was one she was incredibly excited about from the very first conversation.

Taking inspiration from the craft of lantern making and Bioré’s heritage, Yo created custom illustrations and led the session whilst each guest painted, cut and pasted designs to create a unique lantern whilst learning all about creating glow - both from the lanterns and from within.
