Rui Yamamuro is a knitwear designer based in Paris.

Born in Hokkaido, Japan, Rui studied pattern making in Tokyo before establishing her own made-to-measure wedding dress atelier. She later moved to Paris to study embroidery at École Lesage, deepening her understanding of craftsmanship and textile design.

Her journey in knitwear began from a desire to create garments she truly wanted to wear. Fascinated by the relationship between structure, words, and form, she discovered a new way of expressing design through knitting patterns.

Drawing on her background in fashion construction, Rui creates timeless knitwear patterns that balance thoughtful structure, simplicity, and comfort. Her designs are made to be enjoyable to knit and to become garments that naturally belong in everyday life.

For Rui, knitting is, above all, a passion.

Based in Paris, she continues to explore the connection between hands, yarn, and the stories woven through each garment.
