Yasuko Takahashi

piano

Yasuko Takahashi, affectionately known as "Yakko-san", is a trailblazer in the Japanese fashion industry with a career spanning over fifty years. Although the concept of a stylist did not exist when she began in the 1960s, she transitioned from copywriting into styling after proving her talent for sourcing the perfect props and outfits for shoots. She quickly became indispensable to photographers and directors, eventually becoming the first person in Japan to officially use the title 'Stylist' on her business card.

Throughout her illustrious career, Takahashi has collaborated with global icons such as David Bowie, Marc Bolan (T-Rex), and Iggy Pop, as well as Japanese legends like YMO and Momoiro Clover Z. After a transformative period in New York that gave her the confidence to pursue her craft, she established herself at the forefront of the advertising, music, and film industries.
