The image caught the attention of British designer Giles Deacon who showed it to stylist Katie Grand. Koizumi was invited to show his clothes at Marc Jacobs’ Madison Avenue store at New York Fashion Week during the A/W 19 fashion season.

Koizumi is known for his hand-sewn, voluminous, ruffled dresses, made from Japanese polyester. His work has featured in publications including EyescreamWWD Japan and Nylon Japan. In 2019, the Metropolitan Museum of Art showcased his designs in the Camp: Notes on Fashion exhibition. 

He has been shortlisted for the 2020 LMVH prize.
