Half a century ago, the fashion designer broke ‘a window to Europe’.
From the Land of the Rising Sun came sad news: Hanae Mori, one of the most successful and famous fashion designers, has passed away. The Japanese-born fashion designer turned 96 years old.
Couturier died of a fever, Bloomberg quotes the words of relatives of the deceased. It is known that Mori opened her first studio in 1951, and after 10-20 years she becomes one of two Japanese women whose collections were presented on the catwalks of Paris and New York. She was also recognized as a haute couture designer by the French Couture Federation, which was quite rare.
But the work of this designer is also known to ordinary inhabitants of the country, far from fashion. From the 1960s to the 1980s, Mori designed uniforms for the flight attendants of Japan Air Lines and also designed clothing for the Japanese Olympic team at the Barcelona and Lillehammer Games. Grace Kelly, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Reagan were the fashion designer’s clients.
