Tokyo Gamine

Tokyo Gamine was founded in 2015 by designer and artist Yuka Uehara as a way to create couture in collaboration with her clients. Her designs take much inspiration from nature, mythology, and psychology and are often influenced by the wearer’s personal history. The label has since been seen on many red carpet events such as San Francisco Opera, Symphony, and Ballet openings and balls and several film events such as the Academy Awards. Tokyo Gamine is also responsible for dressing the SF Girls Chorus and the SF Symphony’s production of Candide and has produced two ready-to-wear lines. In 2020, Yuka Uehara created Tokyo Gamine Gallery in order to collaborate with Japanese ceramic artists and potters. The project seeks to re-examine our relationships with the objects we consume.
