Yumi Katsura
Yumi Katsura is more than a wedding dress designer—she's a pioneer. In 1964, the Tokyo native presented the first bridal collection ever shown in Japan and became the first Japanese woman to publish a bridal book. Over her 50-year-long career, these accolades have only multiplied. A bridal museum, featuring gowns from all over the world, stands in her honor in Kobe. Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, Henri Bendel and Neiman Marcus all carry her work. Her most famous designs are pieces of art for their immaculate attention to detail (one such gown was decorated with 10,000 Mikimoto pearls) and for their pricelessness. At $8.5 million, the designer's famous White Gold Diamond Dress is considered the world's most expensive wedding gown.
Known for her high-fashion background—she studied the techniques of haute couture in Paris—Katsura's designs often feature Swarovski crystal beading, dramatic necklines, and ruffled skirts. The designer's newest wedding dress collection, however, remains in line with her more recent work. With plenty of beading, ornate applique work, and bold splashes of color, the Spring 2018 collection caters to the daring bride.
