History
Yoshie Inaba founded her namesake label in 1970 after studying at the Bunka Fashion College and working as a freelance designer. She emerged as a prominent figure during the rise of Japanese ready-to-wear fashion in the late twentieth century. Her work contributed to the development of the 'DC Brand' movement, which emphasized designer-driven identity. Inaba’s designs provided a domestic alternative to European luxury, influencing the professional wardrobe of Japanese women through structured yet fluid garments.
