Hanae Mori

Hanae Mori would be the following most famous female fashion designer from Japan in this list. Hanae Mori's career stretches back 70 years. Hiyoshia, her first atelier, established in 1951, and she began designing costumes for numerous Japanese films. This was Japanese cinema's golden age. on a trip to New York City in 1961, the designer was appalled to witness sandals being worn on tatami mats at a performance of Madame Butterfly. Mori was inspired by his ignorance to teach the western world what Japan and Japanese aesthetics were truly made of.

Hanae Mori's inventiveness is best summarized in one word: "femininity." In her instance, the term does not refer to "girly ribbons-laces-flowers," but to something far more delicate and sophisticated. She had a finely polished sense of color; no one else had a color palette as exquisite as hers. She possessed an additional rarer trait: the ability to work with design patterns, which is why her butterflies and flowers became so well-known. Mori was also the costume designer for the lead part in Keita Asari's adaptation of Madame Butterfly, which premiered in Milan in 1985.

Mori is one of two Japanese women who have presented collections on the Paris and New York City runways. She is also the first Asian woman to be included in the Fédération française de la couture's official haute couture design house in France. Hanae Mori persevered despite several trials and setbacks. She was the first fashion designer to receive the Order of Culture honor from the Japanese government in 1996.
