Tokyo hosts Tokyo Fashion Week, Japan’s leading international runway event.
Tokyo Fashion Week is the common English name for Rakuten Fashion Week TOKYO, a seasonal event showcasing Japanese and international brands. It is part of the global network of city-based fashion weeks and provides a platform for both established labels and emerging designers.
The event’s schedule has included runway shows, presentations and digital formats. Participating brands often draw on Japanese streetwear, craftsmanship, subcultures and contemporary design, although the program is not restricted to one aesthetic.
Tokyo Fashion Week is sometimes confused with Japan Fashion Week, the earlier name associated with the event’s development. The host city remains Tokyo, while the commercial title and sponsors can change over time.
