Based in [[Tokyo]], the company has become synonymous with the sleek urban fashions that have been most popular with international customer bases. Creating a wide array of different products, Beauty:Beast has become very successful in a number of international communities.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> Beauty:Beast was founded by designer and fashion guru Takao Yamashita. Yamashita was born in [[Nagasaki]] in [[1966]] and has been deeply involved with the fashion scene for most of his life. He took a chance in [[1986]] and participated in the Marui Designer Audition, becoming aware that there were extensive possibilities for his talents in the fashion design industry. Shortly thereafter, in [[1990]], he started Beauty:Beast.<br /> <br /> The company first participated in the [[Osaka Collection]] the next year in 1991 and its popularity took off shortly thereafter. The boom of fashion in [[Harajuku]] caught Beauty:Beast and took it to cult label status in much of Tokyo, spreading out through word of mouth and magazine coverage to various parts of the country.<br /> <br /> However, despite its popularity in Tokyo, Beauty:Beast did not find financial success in large measure until [[2002]] when it started expanding across Japan into new markets under a new owner, [[base:six]]. The company quickly expanded and now has shops in [[Kanto]], [[Chubu]], [[Kansai]], the United States, and the United Kingdom.<br /> <br /> ==Beauty:Beast Products==<br /> The line of Beauty:Beast products ranges from t-shirts to handbags, wedding dresses, and hair care products. The style of the line has long centered around a modern interpretation of fairy tale inspired motifs, using long flowing lines and black and white fabrics to recreate a punk-inspired vision of classic fashion. The influence of Harajuku streetwear is present in most products, including the flowing, layered wedding collection that has become an underground hit. <br /> <br /> ==Main Shop Location==<br /> *Meguroku, Tokyo<br /> *1-3-9 Ue-Meguro, Meguro-ku<br /> *Tokyo 153-0051<br /> *(81) 03-5794-881<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> *[http://www.beautybeast.co.jp/index2.html Beauty:Beast Official Website] (Japanese)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Japanese Fashion Designers|Beauty:Beast]]<br /> [[Category:Japanese Clothing Brands|Beauty:Beast]]</div> Sat, 17 May 2008 05:04:04 GMT Japan2000 http://www.virtualjapan.com/wiki/Talk:Beauty:Beast
