Somarta
Started in 2006 as a design project of Hirokawa Tamae and began taking part in Tokyo Fashion Week in spring/summer 2007. Hirokawa came out with the Skin Series bodywear line, based on the concept of “possibilities for clothing oneself,” in her debut season. Received the twenty-fifth Mainichi Fashion Grand Prix for Best New Designer and Shiseido Incentive Award. In addition to collaborating with Toyota and Canon on installations, Hirokawa frequently shows her work abroad, including venues in New York, India and Russia. In her 2012 spring/summer collection, themed on the ongoing evolution of birds, she graphically expresses a mystical life force that transcends time and space. The brand is also known as a favorite of Lady Gaga in her private and public life.
