Yumiko creates long-lasting, great-fitting dance and athletic wear of the highest quality. What began as a small collection of leotard designs has grown into a phenomenon that has redefined the dancewear industry. Designer and professional ballerina Yumiko Takeshima is the innovator of beloved leotard styles, and the first to enable dancers to personalize their own dancewear. Clients can choose from a selection of pre-designed styles and customize their piece with fabrics, colors and other options such as sleeve lengths, leg cut and trim. Yumiko also offers Ready to Wear items, specific leotard collections, and an exclusive Black Label line of design leotards.
