It has been announced that Nagi Noda, the brilliant Japanese director, designer and artist, died last Sunday, September 7th, as a result of complications related to a car accident that she was involved in last year. She was 35 years old.

Partizan, who represented her in the US, UK and France for her commercial and music video work, announced the tragic news of her death yesterday.
