Nakano Hiromichi

Nakano Hiromichi (1942). Japanese designer, son of a Shinto priest, artist with a multifaceted personality. He moved from Tokyo to Paris, intending to buy antique toys, and stayed to work as a cinema critic. Soon he also began to develop his passion for fashion and became famous in his own country as a designer for TV and music stars. In 1991, he created his first collection of prêt-à-porter, which reflected his fantastical, almost playful, style. Nakano Hiromichi showed on the runway in Paris for the first time in 1998. He is one of a group of fashion designers, which includes Pierre Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent and Fiorucci, who were employed to create clothing for the dolls of the Takara Company Ltd, a real cult in Japan. During the course of the ten-year collaboration with Takara, Nagana designed seven Barbie models, which have become collectors’ pieces. After the end of the license contract with Mattel, he continued to make clothing and accessories for Jenny, the oriental “cousin” of the American doll.
