Yuka Yoneda

 

Yuka is a writer and designer from Queens, New York. She received her bachelor’s in business management from Stony Brook University, and holds a degree in exhibition design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. In 2008, Yuka looked in the mirror and didn’t like what she saw. Always feeling like there was something missing from her life, she had turned to excess, amassing a mountain of clothes, shoes, bags, and random tchotchkes to fill the void. In an act of desperation, she founded Clossette, a website where she sells second hand clothes from her own closet to promote the pre-loved fashion movement. When she isn't writing about sustainable design, Yuka amuses herself by making DIY fashion treasures and hunting for goodies at her favorite thrift shop.
