Tokyo Gamine was founded in 2015 by designer and artist Yuka Uehara as a way to create new forms of couture in collaboration with her clients. Her designs take inspiration from nature, mythology, and the wearer’s personal history.
The label has since been seen at many red carpet events such as the San Francisco Opera, Symphony, and Ballet openings as well as the Academy Awards. Tokyo Gamine also dressed the SF Girls Chorus and designed costumes for SF Symphony’s production of Candide.
Most recently, Tokyo Gamine created Kizuna, a collection of ten gender-free, one-sized pieces featuring the art of eleven Creativity Explored artists for the Mode Brut exhibit at the Museum of Craft and Design.
