In 2013, I graduated from

the Fashion Design Major of the Comprehensive Design Course

at Kuwasawa Design School's daytime program.

After graduating, I worked as a designer for an apparel company

before moving to France and starting my career as a freelancer.

I gained experience working on projects related to Paris Fashion Week

and in various ateliers, returning to Japan in 2020.

Based in Tokyo, I launched my own brand, "NATSUMI OKUMURA,"

and began presenting collections each season, with sales starting

in select shops from the Spring/Summer 2023 collection.

I am also active as a costume designer.
