    Limi Feu

    Haven't seen this topic yet, and I am curious for your thoughts.

    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. She made her Paris Fashion Week debut in October 2007 and was greeted with praise from fashion critics.

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

    Fashion writers have pointed to similarities between the aesthetics of Feu and her father: they both employ dark colors, large volumes,layering, and asymmetry 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.To celebrate Limi Feu's 10th Anniversary, Limi Yamamoto held a special showing in Tokyo that featured seven previously unseen looks: these designs paid homage to the old fashion guard, the father of modern day couture, Christian Dior.

    Plenty of discussion of her work in the Yohji Yamamoto thread. It was good for a few seasons, than seemed to peter out and finally drop off most people's radar altogether.

      Sadly, she doesn't have much of a presence in the US anymore. Wouldn't surprise me if it was due to the fact that the last 2 or 3 seasons ran the gamut between being too cute and generally unflattering (but not all of it is like that, quite a few of her tops are very well cut and verge on quirky genius). When she instinctively channels the Yamamoto dna with her own aggressive nature the stuff is stellar. I believe her label was merged into the YY umbrella last year, so lets hope there is more to come.

      IF still carries a miniscule amount of her work, thankfully, since I seem to find a least 1 top I wear to death from Limi every year. La Garconne use to carry the label and of course they had to pick this year to stop which sucks because she made some killer doc's I would have loved to have had...
