Super Designer
Debuted as a brand while still a student
Aiming to become a world-class designer
In the first year, students learn the fundamentals, and in the second year, they plan and sell a brand in a group. In the third year, they launch their own brand and operate it for two years.
Through exhibiting at trade shows and selling at department stores and select shops, students acquire the practical skills necessary to launch their own brand immediately after graduation.
Characteristics of Super Designer
- 01 We will enhance the originality of your designs through education that emphasizes the "inventiveness" necessary for world-class designers.
- We keep in mind the number of items necessary for a brand to stand on its own, and express its worldview through the collection.
- 03 In the second year, we will launch a group brand using domestically sourced materials and sell them in physical stores.
- 04 From the third year, students start their own brand and engage in activities on a professional level, such as exhibiting at exhibitions, selling goods, and leasing costumes.
- In 2005 , all third-year students participated in a short-term study abroad program at Polimoda College in Italy. There is also a system in place to support overseas study after graduation.
- Advanced specialist
- This department allows students to obtain the title of "Advanced Specialist" upon graduation. This qualification is equivalent to a university degree, enhancing the credibility of professionals and proving valuable in job hunting. It also opens up the possibility of pursuing graduate studies.

My brand's second season: Taking on international competitions

I will also challenge myself by presenting collections overseas and participating in major domestic and international contests. I will undertake activities with a global perspective while still a student.
In their third and fourth years, students participate in a curriculum that involves practically managing a brand they have launched themselves. They conduct direct business negotiations with buyers from select shops and department stores, leading to sales.
I handle everything from concept development and visual production to logo design, bringing the brand's worldview to life. Once completed, I present it as a collection.
Students themselves conduct business negotiations with buyers from department stores and shops, showing their work in person and discussing display and promotion strategies.
They actually launched their own brand in stores. In the past, a mega-brand was born that sold 70 pairs of pants priced at 40,000 yen each.
We received buying orders from famous department stores such as HANKYU MEN'S OSAKA and Takashimaya, as well as high-end select shops, and then distributed and sold our brand's products in those stores.
