After going independent in 2003, she went to France while working as a stylist. After returning to Japan, she gained popularity with her basic style that combines the French taste she cultivated while studying abroad in Paris with a modern, sophisticated and relaxed feel, and is active in a wide range of fields, including styling advertisements for women's magazines, styling commercials, writing essays, directing brands, and developing collaborative products. Her gram　contemporary (＠makoto087), which chronicles her daily life and gives a glimpse of her bright personality and sense, and her fashion advice YouTube channel "FUKUDAKE?" (@fukudake1596) are also very popular. Be sure to check out her new books this year, "MY BASIC, MY ICONS: Clothes I'll Still Want to Wear in 10 Years" (East Press) and "Clothes that Suit Us Now: How to Find a New Basic Style" (Daiwa Shobo).
