United Bamboo is a label and a lifestyle

Launched in 1998 and now expanded into a cultural project, United Bamboo has established itself as a pioneer in fashion design and creative collaboration with downtown artists, curators and musicians under the direction of Miho Aoki and Thuy Pham. Launched by Miho Aoki who moved from her native Japan to study at FIT in 1995, she was formerly a design assistant at the New York based fashion/art collective, Bernadette Corp. Thuy Pham, a native of Vietnam, was the designer for Bernadette Corp. As United Bamboo they continue to expand their conceptual reach through collaborations with a diverse community of artists.
