Limi Feu

Last updated

Limi Feu (born in 1974 as Limi Yamamoto) is a Japanese fashion designer. She started her label in 2000 and showed her clothes at Tokyo Fashion Week between 2000 and 2007. [1] She made her Paris Fashion Week debut in October 2007 and was greeted with praise from fashion critics. [2] [3]

Feu was educated at the Ecole D'Humanité, a Swiss International boarding school in the Bernese Alps.

Feu is the daughter of designer Yohji Yamamoto. [1] [2] (She took a new name after stumbling upon the word "feu" in a French dictionary. [1] )

Fashion writers have pointed to similarities between the aesthetics of Feu and her father: they both employ dark colors, [2] large volumes, [2] [3] layering, [3] and asymmetry [3] in their designs. They have also noted, however, that her designs are streetwise and have a rock attitude, whereas her father's designs were typically romantic. [1] [2] [3] To celebrate Limi Feu's 10th Anniversary, Limi Yamamoto held a special showing in Tokyo that featured seven previously unseen looks: these designs paid homage to the old fashion guard, the father of modern-day couture, Christian Dior.
