THE DESIGNER
Yoroshiku 4649 designer Yumi Sakaki has been a huge hip-hop fan for years. You can see the influence of the music genre throughout her work. She brings a new edge to streetwear as she combines elements of her Japanese heritage into her collections. Many of her designs feature a manga influence, and images of the ocean, which are very important in Japanese culture owing to it being one of the most proficient industries for centuries.
