Asian Elatıon CREATE YOUR OWN FILM-NOIR MOMENT IN SOME OF THE SEASON'S MOST DRAMATIC LOOKS, SHOT AMID THE CHIC SPACES FOUND IN A TRIO OF WYNN'S HOTTEST RESTAURANTS: MIZUMI, WING LEI, AND RED 8. PHOTOGRAPHY BY GAIL HADANI style note: "I've always thought Noh masks, from the incredible tradition of Noh theater, embody the minimal and yet highly expressive aesthetic of Japanese art," says Roger Thomas, executive vice president of Wynn Design & Development and the designer behind Mizumi. "They really emote the whole character with great economy. So we picked our five favorite Noh masks and repeated them on the wall in a diagonal pattern. I enjoy the thought that they might be like a whole group of characters in the room with you, but that you, the diner, are the theater of the room, and these masks, which we usually see as the performance, are instead your audience." 90 WYNN
