RYNSHU

Helmed by life and work partners, Rynshu and Rieco Yamaji, RYNSHU is a sophisticated Japanese fashion brand which was originally created in 1986 under the name Maji Masatomo. Founder Rynshu honed his creative skills studying at the prestigious Tama Art University in Tokyo and has since gone on to win the silver prize at the Kanebo design awards.

His wife Rieco was an award-winning ballet dancer who performed in shows around the world before moving into costume design, which informs the label’s rich, lustrous fabrics and elegant draping. The spirit of dance and the drama of theater embody RYNSHU’s collections, so make an entrance in the brand’s sharp tailored jackets, blazers and long dresses — decorated with prints and dazzling embellishments.
