※1 About the “Tokyo Fashion Business Vitalization Project”
The fashion industry infects a wide spread of fields, starting with the production industry, to other industries, such as service, media, tourist, etc., in addition to possessing the power to raise Tokyo’s industrial strength and its attraction as a city, therefore it is positioned as an industry which the metropolitan government should develop and promote both strategically and selectively.
Presently, in the fashion industry, the most pressing theme is to produce future leaders of the industry, who can give birth to high added value.
With this in mind, the fashion industry and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government have tied hands to give support, launching this project with the aim to produce designers with the potential to be active both nationally and internationally.
