Limi Feu

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Limi Feu (born Limi Yamamoto) is a Japanese fashion designer. She started her label in 2000 and showed her clothes at Tokyo Fashion Week between 2000 and 2007.[1] She made her Paris Fashion Week debut in October 2007 and was greeted with praise from fashion critics.[2][3]

Feu is the daughter of designer Yohji Yamamoto.[2][1] (She took a new name after stumbling upon the word "feu" in a French dictionary.[1])

Fashion writers have pointed to similarities between the aesthetics of Feu and her father: they both employ dark colors,[2] large volumes,[2][3] layering,[3] and asymmetry[3] in their designs. They have also noted, however, that her designs are streetwise and have a rock attitude, whereas her father's designs were typically romantic.[2][3][1]
