Born in Okinawa, Japan. Since childhood, she has longed for fashion like princesses and dolls, and established her own brand when she was a student. She became interested in kimonos because of her mother’s influence in Japanese dressmaking, and she liked to make dresses using Japanese fabrics and kimono fabrics. In December 2022, she presented “Yamato-Nadeshiko one-piece dress”, a dress designed almost like a kimono, and became a hot topic on SNS. This year, at Paris Fashion Week 2024FW, Hiroko Tokumine has presented a new kimono fashion that anyone can wear in no time, combining Lolita fashion with kimono. It features Hiroko Tokumine’s original sleeves “Japonica Sleeves”, which combines kimono and western clothing elements.
