Her first collection was created in 1997 but it wasn't until 2001, during Japan Fashion Week in Tokyo, that she held her first fashion show.
In 2007 the French association ANDAM (Association Nationale pour le Developpement des Arts de la Mode) awarded her work and she received 20,000 euros from Japanese store Beams to prepare her summer 2008 collection. The collection can be seen in her website but because I don't like to speak of summer when it's winter, here is her beautiful A/W 07-08 collection.
-----Yasuko Furota es la cabecita pensante y creadora de la firma japonesa Toga. Y aunque creó su primera colección en 1997, no será hasta el 2001 en el que Yasuko podrá ver su primer desfile, que tuvo lugar durante la Japan Fashion Week en Tokyo, porque desfile y colecciones por desgracia no son todo uno.
El año pasado Furota fue galardonada con un premio de 20.000 euros para realizar su colección primavera-verano 2008, un premio que fue llevado a cabo gracias a la asociación francesa ANDAM (Association Nationale pour le Developpement des Arts de la Mode), y pagado por la über cool tienda Beams de Tokyo.
Podeis disfrutar de la colección en su web, pero yo aprovecho que estamos en invierno para mostrar cosas calentitas... su colección otoño-invierno 07-08.

These are lovely and I have never heard of this designer. I am quite fond of two pieces here: the brown jacket with white collar and cuffs and then the red asymmetrical dress. This latter hangs so beautifully and I've always been partial to that neckline.
Thanks for sharing them!
El tono rojo del diseño es precioso!
Me encantó la segunda prenda de la segunda fila, y todas las del tono rojo/negro
I love that pop of red! And how lovely is that model's pale skin? Very lovely, that's what.
I really like the intricite layering and the super long leggings..
cute cute, good stuff.
Mmm YUM, I love Toga. Have you seen their most recent collection? it's fabulous...
wow - I am loving the draping and the vibrate red in these pieces. Thanks for highlighting them. I wanted to discuss some portraits and interviews for the magazine.

Me pasaba lo mismo con lo de hablar de verano en pleno invierno, pero bueno, ahora ya lo llevo algo mejor. La colección es interesante, aunque la segunda fila me recuerda mucho a una colección de Balenciaga
ahh, yes!! Toga. I remembered going crazy the first time I saw this collection. All those layers and textures. yum
wow, lots of money. These are pretty cool, except the model is kinda creepy.
very nice a blog :)
Thanks so much Mustafa for your lovely comment!, it's always very touching when a non-fashion related blogger compliments your work :)
