Michiko Koshino is a Japanese fashion designer known for iconic 1980s and 1990s creations under her Michiko London label. Michiko Koshino left Japan for London in the 1970s. She made fast friends with a group of creative people - musicians, artists, and designers - who would change the world with their creative vision in the 1980s. Michiko launched her "Michiko London" fashion brand in 1986. Her bomber jackets, inflatable cat jackets, and other items quickly became icons of the 1980s London club scene. Michiko has been creating original street and club fashion ever since. To celebrate Michiko London's 30th anniversary, Michiko will host a popup shop at the famous LaForet Harajuku department store - where she first opened a shop back in 1984 - from March 4 - 17, 2016. We were lucky to sit down with Michiko and talk with her about her life and her love of street fashion.
