HIROKO KOSHINO

In 1964, Hiroko Koshino opened her first and own boutique, COUTURE KOSHINO HIROKO, in Shinsaibashi, Osaka.

The store quickly gained popularity amongst individuals well-informed about the latest fashion trend, and the stylised European interiors that were highly unique at the time took the entire experience to a completely different level.

With every request that came in, Koshino personally crafted each piece with utmost detail, dedication, care and respect, effortlessly satisfying every client’s needs.
