Celeste Top, Kinari

Yuka's path to design was unconventional, she started by studying world literature, poetry, and philosophy in Japan, developing a sensibility for beauty which ranged from the sun-bleached hemp garments of Japan’s Edo Period, to the films of the French New Wave. It wasn’t until she moved from Japan to Los Angeles that she realized that her interests could be expressed in the form of textiles. Through a process of closely “reading” the materiality and history of particular fabrics, she learned to create garments that developed from the weave and feel of the material itself.
