KEIKO KUROISHI is the original textile brand established by the designer, Keiko Kuroishi, in 1995. With the exuberant selection of scarves with artistic colors as her core expression, she has been exhibiting her elegant and piquant collections in PREMIERE CLASSE, an international fashion accessory trade show in Paris, as well as in Tokyo. Her works have also been exhibited at the internationally acclaimed interior and lifestyle designs trade show, MAISON&OBJET, held in January 2014.

While the designer, Keiko Kuroishi, was working for the product planning in the apparel industry, she became strongly interested in fabric colors and patterns, which brought her to France in 1992. After completing her studies in textile designs in Paris, she made her debut as a designer in the British scarf collection in 1995. Since this first public appearance, she has been introducing her stylish designs, including her one-of-a-kind, original prints, which make the best out of the texture of material in line with the theme for every season. In particular, her works have been highly acclaimed through the masterful utilization of the pride precision techniques from Japan. Through the detailed cut works and delicate color gradation through dyeing, she has created an original outlook with high quality designs. Her masterpiece, "TANABATA", which is crafted from a single fabric applying the intricate net design inspired from the origami ornament for the traditional star festival, Tanabata, is a long selling piece at many world renowned museums and shops, such as the Museum of Modern Arts in New York (MOMA), and the Art Institute of Chicago.

Combining the two heterogeneous elements - profound artistry and trendiness or handcraft-like warmth and urban modernity- each creation of KEIKO KUROISHI’s design is a versatile "magic piece of fabric," which goes beyond the concept of age, gender, and nationality, to captivate the intellectual curiosity of peoples' minds. As a bustier or as a cape, or as an interior arrangement, each of them is carefully crafted to work flexibly with anyone's lifestyle, and to be the collection of enjoyment for the many long years to come.


*KEIKO KUROISHI’s icon “TANABATA Structure”

Anyone who lives in Japan would have seen the Star Festival (Tanabata) decorations. One of the typical decoration items in the festival is the “net decoration,” which symbolizes a prayer for a large catch of fish.
By adding cutworks to silk, wool and cotton, and by virtue of its structural dynamics and the weight of the cloth itself, KEIKO KUROISHI’s icon TANABATA has become a one-of-a-kind design, which realizes the architectural beauty that resembles the net decoration.
