Junko Shimada has the modesty and the humility of a well-raised Japanese, the independence and the frankness of a Parisian amazone.

Her creativity and her independence are a success, especially in Japan where she now owns around twenty stores and several licenses as well as in Paris where she has settled down in two inevitable fashion districts: rue Etienne Marcel and rue Saint-Florentin.

Her collections charm the most specialized divas such as Lady Gaga who has fallen for her pair of ballet shoes mounted on a high Plexiglas heel

Playing with time, a philosophy that perfectly suits this woman that maturity embellishes. As to know whether she feel Japanese or French, Junko Shimada answers while smiling that, like Josephine Baker: “I have two lovers, my country and Paris”.
