Japanese cult label Beauty:Beast founder and fashion designer Takao Yamashita was born in Nagasaki in 1966.

In 1986, Yamashita participated in the Marui Designer Audition and became aware of the opportunities in fashion design. The following year he started to create his own distinctive designs. Yamashita established Beauty:Beast in 1990.

In 1991, after he participated in the Osaka Collection, Beauty:Beast’s popularity began. During the 90’s, many young designers got caught up in the Harajuku street fashion boom and Yamashita was one of them.

It took until 2002 before the brand really started to expand all over Japan. The brand is now run under the company name base:six.

Beauty:Beast creates an amazing range of products from t-shirts to bags to wedding dresses to hair care (cosmatrix) and has shops in Kanto, Chubu, Kansai, the UK and the USA.
