Japanese designer Yumi Katsura

Yumi Katsura has always shown an insatiable spirit of inquiry into new materials and an unrelenting pursuit of new techniques. Starting in 1964, she launched dresses in a wide range of materials, developing many silk and lace fabrics into leading choices for Japanese bridal fashion. An example was her production of satin taffeta (satin fabric with a taffeta feel), previously considered impractical. She also poured her energy into pioneering new fashion techniques, especially lace hollowing, as well as the fisherman’s knot she used for airy hemlines. She aroused a sensation by introducing the showy marieé dress style to the world in a Roma Collection that featured the “phosphorescence” of fluorescent embroidery thread on a dark ground. Recently, the 2010 Paris Collection drew attention with her “marine reef” dress made with tens of thousands of specially prepared fish scales.
