Japan - The Government of Japan’s Post

#MeetTheChangemakers: Japanese-Filipino fashion designer Yumi Christina Sakamoto weaves vivid life into vintage Japanese kimonos 👘 with her global, sustainable fashion brand! After working for a major Japanese fashion brand, she moved to the Philippines and founded fashion label EDYA1929 to give new purpose to old high-quality kimonos discarded in Japan. Sakamoto and local artisans transform them into dresses 👗 and bags 👜 with Filipino sensibilities, made only as needed and regardless of fleeting fashion trends. Tackling mass production and disposal, Sakamoto turns potential waste into wearable art. https://edya1929.com/
