She has been active in the fashion industry for over five decades, and her work has been featured in various fashion shows and events.

She opened Japan's first bridal store in Akasaka, Tokyo, in December 1964.
She built her flagship store in Nogizaka about ten years later.
In her early days of designing, Katsura struggled with finding resources such as fabric, lace, and shoes for her designs.
Katsura has named Pierre Balmain as one of her mentors and sources of inspiration.
The two first met when he visited one of her stores in 1975.
She has also been credited with popularizing the “everyday” kimono in Japan and around the world after the garment began losing popularity in the 1980s.
In 1981 Katsura participated in her first New York fashion show.
Later that decade, in 1987, she established the Yumi Katsura Bridal Museum in Kobe, whose collection includes traditional European wedding dresses collected by Katsura.

In 2022, she designed a wedding gown using an ultra-fine silk from Fukushima, Japan.
The dress used 55 meters of fabric but weighed only 600 grams.
One of Katsura's dresses is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.
She opened boutiques in Paris and New York in 2005 and 2006 respectively.
In 2018 Katsura became the first designer to exhibit her work at the Akasaka Palace.
