Yasuko Azuma's imaginative flair was first realized at age six when she began conceptualizing ideas for her own clothes. "My mother was a fashion designer. I started making sketches of the dresses I wanted her to sew for me." What began as a childhood fancy led her to follow in her mother's footsteps, study fashion design. After college graduation, she worked for a large clothing company in Japan. "I grew restless following a corporate vision. I had all of this energy and wanted to explore my own outlets of expression."
