Designer Yuki Torii celebrates 60 years in the fashion business
Veteran designer Yuki Torii is commemorating her 60-year career in which she made her mark on the fashion world and gave traditional styles a playful, modern spin.
Few others in her trade worldwide have remained active leaders of their own brands for such a long time.
“I have always been looking toward the future, such as with the new works I will be presenting next,” Torii said. “So, those 60 years have passed in the twinkling of an eye. I believe I will remain like that in the years to come, too.”
Her works are bound by the themes of comfort, stylishness and youthfulness. She always strives to capture the spirit of the times through her choices of colors, patterns and fabrics, and places them against the backdrop of classic styles--all contributing to her signature touch.
Her repertoire has ventured out from her original turf of Western-style ladieswear into the broader realms of menswear and the Japanese-style dress.

Torii was 19 when she debuted by presenting several pieces of work at her mother’s fashion show in 1962. Her mother operated a Western-style dressmaker’s shop in the posh Ginza district of Tokyo, which dated back to her grandmother’s generation.
