Miyuki Ebisawa loved fashion since she was a student at Keio Girls Senior High School and wouldn’t give up her passion, even after becoming a civil servant.
So, she pivoted to working as a fashion magazine editor, which she enjoyed, but she could not close her eyes to injustices in the fashion industry.
Today, Ebisawa, 45, is a lawyer specializing in dealing with legal problems in the apparel industry.
She took a long and winding road to her profession.
