Hazime Yanagida

Hazime Yanagida is the creative force behind the fashion brand bearing his name, widely known for his razor-sharp critiques and uncompromising standards. Despite his exceptional design instincts, he lacks hands-on sewing skills—a gap that sharpens his eye for those who possess true craftsmanship. As the mentor who shaped Ikuto Tomomura's early career, he employed demanding, high-pressure methods to draw out the best in his protégé. Though many find him difficult to approach, he is unsparing in his recognition of genuine talent. Driven by an unwavering ambition to break into Paris Fashion Week, he continues to carve his path on the world stage with fierce determination.
