Here are the highlights of the fashion show!
Point①
The theme for Shiro Araki’s fashion show is “New Life Forms.” Multiple new works will also be revealed!
Featured outfits will each have a different approach, such as shaped outfits inspired by structural architecture and cultivated outfits that utilize the habits of silkworms.
Point②
In cooperation with Kyushu University. A sustainable fashion show using natural materials!
Through a joint project with the Faculty of Agriculture and Faculty of Art Engineering SDG Design Unit at Kyushu University, a portion of the outfits will use floss silk from silkworms as their materials. A portion of the materials were created by citizens of Fukuoka at the “Creating Floss Silk from Silkworm Cocoons” workshop held at the Fukuoka City Science Museum.
Point③
A contest for young designers. Works by finalists will be featured in the show!
Out of a total of 40 applicants, 3 vocational school students from the city were selected as finalists following careful consideration by Shiro Araki and the judges. The outfits by the finalists will be featured in the fashion show on the day of the event.
In addition, the Grand Prize winner will be announced during the Design Contest Award Ceremony.
