Emi Wada

Emi Wada (和田 惠美, Wada Emi, born 18 March 1937 in Kyoto Prefecture) is an Academy Award-winning theatrical, movie and ballet costume designer from Japan. Her work for the 2015 production of The Peony Pavilion was described by The Washington Post as "some of the loveliest ballet creations in memory" with the newspaper further noting that: "Skirt hems flickered like flames as the dancers moved, and the leading ballerina’s sheer overdress floated around her like an afterglow."
