About

Nozomi Yamanami is a London-based womenswear designer from Tokyo, passionately inspired by the dynamic energy of movement. After spending three years in a different industry, she pursued her passion by studying at Tokyo Mode Gakuen and earning a Graduate Diploma from Central Saint Martins in 2023. She channels these experiences into designs that empower women to embrace spontaneity and challenge societal constraints. Her latest collection, developed during her MA at the London College of Fashion, visualises the chaos of a typical Monday morning, undermining expectations placed on women. Her work celebrates resilience, individuality, and the liberating power of creative expression.

Self-liberation in Motion

“Self-liberation in Motion” is a body of work that pokes fun at societal constraints and knowingly undermines expectations society places on women. The collection visualises the chaos of a typical Monday morning: running late for work, racing through the city, makeup on the tube, coffee-2-go, work shoes thrown into a bag, crashing through the office door just in time for your first meeting before realising your trousers are on back-to-front and shirt is covered in your flat white. Rooted in my experiences in the Japanese conventional society, this journey reflects my mission to empower women through transformative, expressive fashion.
