Clothing Style

Yasui’s clothing is instilled with many traditional techniques along with a slew of new ways of thinking, creating Japanese style western women’s clothing. The concept of strength in the line’s clothing is drawn from the basic tenets of natural, ephemeral beauty as Yasui describes it and provides a willowy, simplistic look to much of the clothing produced for the line. The use of lace and carefully layered style has made the label very popular among women between 25 and 35, providing a stylish and elegant yet more mature clothing option.

Where to Buy
