From Wednesday, September 24th to Tuesday, September 30th, 2025, a limited-time sales event featuring brands created by current students of Super Designer will be held at Hankyu Men's Osaka's "Garage D. Edit" and Takashimaya Osaka's "CS Case Study".

This time, we've collaborated with "Wakayama Daibakusho," a Wakayama knitwear production project run by the magazine "Begin," to create special knit items produced by students working directly with local technicians.

Furthermore, six original brands, each uniquely selected by the stores from among the "current student brands" run by students of Super Designer, will also be sold. These brands are treated as designer brands, alongside high-end domestic and international brands. This will be the second consecutive year that these brands will be available at Hankyu Men's Osaka, and the first time at Takashimaya Osaka.

Wakayama Daibakusho

Wakayama Daibakusho is a joint project between volunteers from the Wakayama Knit Industry Association and Begin magazine. Inspired by American Union Made (*), it started with the desire to showcase the amazing skills of Wakayama's proud knitters. The old name for knitwear was "Meriyasu," and "DAIBAKUSHO" embodies the hope that everyone, both those who wear the clothes and those who make them, will be happy.
*This label indicated that the product was made by a member of the American labor union "Union," and for consumers, it served as a guarantee of quality.
