The winners of the second round of judging for the 95th Soen Award, Japan's most prestigious fashion contest, were announced in the May issue of Soen magazine (released March 27th). Four students from our school, OSAKA INSTITUTE OF FASHION, were selected, demonstrating the high level of their creative abilities.

Last year, at the 94th Soen Awards, four of our students advanced to the final round of judging, making us arguably the best in Japan. This year, we have four students who passed the second round of judging. How many will make it to the final round? Will they win the Soen Award? Please keep an eye out!
