Cher Brand History
The Cher brand was created by Yoshiko Yamazaki in 1995. Yamazaki first opened the Cher shop as an import shop carrying foreign brands, but would eventually, around 1997, start designing her own clothes. As a designer, Yamazaki takes inspiration from California beach culture and Cher as a clothing brand reflects that influence in their goods as well as their advertising and promotional materials. Cher has launched several other exclusive brands including Fruitcake and Bianca's Closet. In 2008, Cher opened a new store in Kamakura and announced plans to create lines of clothing for men and also for children.
