TOMO KOIZUMI is a Japanese fashion brand launched in Chiba in 2011 by Tomotaka Koizumi while he was a student at Chiba University. Centered on creating costumes for concerts and Japanese celebrities, its collections feature dresses with bold ruffles. In his work, Koizumi embraces the idea of “fashion that can also be treated as art” and has spoken about becoming a bridge between the art and fashion industries. The brand is also known for receiving the LVMH Prize, for the dress worn by MISIA at the Tokyo 2020 Opening Ceremony, and for its archives being held by institutions including the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
