Tsumori Chisato: Spring 2008

Tsumori Chisato is a Japanese fashion designer.

A graduate of Tokyo's renowned , Chisato started working in 1977 for , who helped her launch her own line in 1990. She first brought her collection to Paris in 2003 and has been quietly building street cred with cool girls in Los Angeles and New York. Her fall collection stayed faithful to her aesthetic, which is print-heavy with a healthy dose of manga/bohemian cuteness. The show took wing with the first look, an owl-appliqué minidress, and closed with homey quilted frocks that tied into the vague Bloomsbury theme at play throughout. There were a number of pretty dresses: some dramatic with pile stripes, a requisite velvet number, and others with tree appliqués and a patchwork of fun, flirty prints. The second look was a simple white pinafore that recalled Peter Pan's Wendy—and served as a reminder that, for every governess that came down the runways this season, there is a corresponding youthful charge.

She shared her ”kawaii” thoughts at FutureDesignDays in 2006, and got a lot of attention for her very romantic way of looking at design. Her ready-to-wear spring collection for 2008 is no exception.
