Task 2 - Research - Limi Feu

Daughter of the award winning and influential Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto, Limi Feu has followed her father's foot steps into the fashion world. 

However her choice "LIMIfue" as her design label after coming across the word fue in a French dictionary, suggesting she wanted to make it on her own then rather off her fathers already established label.

Starting her label in 2000, she showcased her work from 2000 to 2007 in Tokyo Fashion week before making her Paris debut in October 2007's Paris Fashion week and breaking into the western fashion world with great praise from critics.

Her designs have characteristics of a darker colour pallet, use of layers, large volumes and asymmetry, a clear influence of her father's designs. However, where Yohji Yamamoto's design are typically more romantic, Limi Feu's are a little more street wear inspired with a rock attitude ambience to her clothing.

I admire the empowering famine yet edgy shapes of her designs. Due to her mostly darker colour scheme, if I could afford it, I do believe I would wear her designs. This collection seems to have a punky-meets-orintal quality that is enforced it the style of the hair and cutting edge designs.
