Our international students
Taiyo Okada and Soichi Takeda, who studied abroad for their MA (Master's) degrees through self-funded study, were selected to participate in the "POLIMODA Graduate Show," an event only open to the most select students at the school, and enjoyed fulfilling days in a world-class environment. In addition, Marin Enomoto, who is studying in her fourth year of undergraduate studies (Bachelor's degree) through the exchange program, has received high praise as the only Japanese designer to be selected as the top prize winner in an international fashion competition.
