With the blossoming of highly realistic virtual idols like imma and the newly debuted meme, who is turning beauty standards on their head, the world of fashion modeling is changing. Unfortunately, it’s all in Japanese, but if you can find someone to translate it for you, you might find it very interesting! The article discusses what beauty is and how it changes with the times, and there’s even an interview with all three models, including imma. The makeup and looks were coordinated by renowned hair and makeup artist Torii, who sought to re-imagine beauty with their design, and with the use of a digital model. You can see imma and her human co-models Mayben and Aria wearing KATE THE BASE ZERO in a special article on i-D Japan’s website. The products come in both liquid and powder form, in six colors each, and with mild SPF protection.

The brand has a base makeup series called “ THE BASE ZERO“, which includes foundation that prides itself in being light and smooth while still thoroughly covering blemishes.

KATE, by Kanebou Cosmetics, is a makeup brand marketed towards Asian women, which goes by the motto “No more rules”, emphasizing individuality and freedom in makeup design. How does the digital beauty of imma compare to the beauty of real humans? Such is her realistic beauty, and her growing fame, that she’s booked herself her first major photoshoot! She’s appearing in a digital article from fashion magazine i-D Japan sporting KATE cosmetics, alongside two real models. What sets her apart from other models is not her fashion or makeup style, however, though those are unique in their own way it’s the fact that she isn’t real! imma is entirely a CG construct, designed to look so incredibly realistic that if we hadn’t been told that she didn’t exist, we would never have known. You might remember virtual model imma, whose trendy selfies and street-style Instagram photos have earned her tens of thousands of followers, along with worldwide attention. The CG-created model is getting her big break in the fashion industry!
