We search, praise, and educate future fashion designers who have the courage and ambition to overcome this situation.
Climate change, global pandemic, war… I wonder, what can fashion achieve under these realities.
This program was established in 2021, under the belief that to search, praise, and educate future fashion designers who have the courage and ambition to overcome these situations will lead us to a better society.
Anyone can apply who has a passion to take a new step as a fashion designer. Those who were chosen as the finalists, will be required to realize a garment design which achieves both social responsibility and creativity. A wide range of support will be provided from various advisers and experts, as well as an opportunity to present your creation.
Us mankind has been developed our society by creating, and wearing garments. Food, garments and housings-we are the only species who wear garments. That’s why I believe thinking about garment is equal to thinking about future of us.
FASHION FRONTIER PROGRAM is open to everyone who are passionate to think, and create the future together with us.
