Tamae Hirokawa’s fashion label SOMARTA is one of the new breed of Japanese designers to grab the attention of the international press. A former Issey Miyake team member, Hirokawa makes use of lace, masks and macramé.

Unusual for Japanese fashion designers, she has a conceptual approach to fashion design.

Tamae Hirokawa joined Issey Miyake Co., Ltd. after graduating from Apparel Design Technique at Bunka Fashion College in 1998. As a designer, she took charge of the collection line of Issey Miyake Men and Issey Miyake.

SOMA DESIGN was started in March 2006 to create fashion, graphic design, sound and art direction. Fashion label SOMARTA was launched at the same time.

Like her mentor Issey Miyake, Hirokawa makes abundant use of advanced Japanese textile technology.
