We will be participating in the exhibition "WEAR TO GO? ~Thinking about the future of clothing~" to be held at "PLAT UMEKITA (Kita-ku, Osaka)" operated by TOPPAN Co., Ltd. from October 11th (Sat) to 20th (Mon), 2025.

From October 11th (Saturday) to 13th (Monday), for three days, in collaboration with Human Forum Co., Ltd., first-year students of Fashion Business will open three stores planned under the theme of "The Vintage Clothing Store of the Future." Unwanted clothing collected from households will be repurposed into products by the students, who will carefully consider styling and sales strategies.

▼ Participating Shops

①BLOOM ARCHIVE

Concept: Garden Core
Blending the gentleness of nature with urban style, we offer botanical casual wear for everyone seeking relaxation.
A new fashion that embraces nature and blossoms in the city.

②RE:evolve

Concept: Embracing an aesthetic of imperfection
Even ripped and stained vintage clothes are embraced for their inherent charm, affirmed as a source of presence and individuality. By layering this with elements of the near future, a new "urban grunge style" emerges where the past and future intersect.
We offer edgy fashion that doesn't strive for perfection, for all generations.

③EPOLU

Concept: Timeless elegance, where retro and modern harmonize.
A timeless, retro, and nostalgic atmosphere is given a modern, sophisticated, and mature touch.
It offers a sense of novelty to the younger generation and a feeling of nostalgia to the older generation.

This project employs an approach opposite to that of typical second-hand clothing stores. After examining the collected clothing, the shop concept is decided, and the students tackle the challenge of "how to turn discarded clothing into something that can be sold."
The sales method also employs a fixed-price system of "one outfit for 1,000 yen." You can get a complete style by combining a top and bottom.
