Yukiko: Yvette
Her most personal work. Named for her own middle name, this collection is entirely white—but not a single piece uses bleach or synthetic whitening agents. Instead, Yukiko used ramie (a nettle fiber) bleached by sunlight over six months, and silk that was naturally whitened by snow exposure in the Japanese Alps. The collection is a meditation on silence, purity, and the violence of "cleanliness."
