Grand Prix
Women's Wear
Chalermkiat Khatikasemlert
Institute Francais de la Mode Paris
Application city：London
Theme:“Connecting”
I got the idea of exaggeration from a scanning process. While the scanner was reading, my hand accidentally moved the document. The result was text transformation and style alteration. I gave the idea a try.

Prizes for Excellence
Women's Wear
Aguri Sagimori
Vantan Design Institute
Application city：Japan
Theme: “Denim Forest”
Our daily lives are brimming with denim. I wanted to depict a denim forest by adopting delicate cutworks. Starting with little denim trees, let the cities become an ample forest of denim.▼Click here for other photos
Men's Wear
Yumi Watanabe
International Beauty and Fashion College
Application city：Japan
Theme: “White Night”
While traveling, I was inspired by the pure white snow, biting air, and aurora of Alaska. I wanted to achieve a good balance of the woman’s softness and the man’s toughness in my work, enveloped with an ethereal air.▼Click here for other photos

Women's Wear
Siu Yan Cheung
The Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education
Appplication city: Hong Kong
Theme: “Black Wood”
My inspiration came from traditional window curtains. I wanted to use linen and natural hair in deference to traditional Japanese style. I tried to trace the structure with different kinds of textures. Soft/hard, light/heavy materials create a harmonious contrast. The result: a new silhouette that makes you feel special.▼Click here for other photos
Women's Wear
Kazuhiko Gondou
Esmod Japon Tokyo
Application city：Japan
Theme: “Hana~ Flower”
I wanted to express the outer beauty of flowers, and the inner undulating vitality of plants. Beauty and powerfulness live harmoniously within my dress.▼Click here for other photos
Men's Wear
Youhei Oonuki
Vantan Design Institute
Application city：Japan
Theme: “Neo-humanism”
I was inspired by the idea that people can undergo body-transformation by implanting accessories into the skin. I embossed the leather with beads and accessories, and embroidered/smocked the patterns onto it.▼Click here for other photos
Men's Wear
Masashi Asano
Nagoya University of Arts and Sciences
Application city：Japan
Theme: “Calculated patterns × Incalculable textile”
I got the inspiration from the “component assembling” method used in plastic model construction. I connected 80 parts using 1300 buttons. The result: a garment with absolutely no sewing.▼Click here for other photos
Women's Wear
Takuya Matsushima
Esmod Japon Tokyo
Application city：Japan
Theme: “Himba Tribe”
The Himba Tribe has continued to develop its own unique culture in the innermost parts of Namibia. I took into my work, accessories inspired by the beautiful spiral hair of Himba women. This way, I thought people would feel a sort of attachment toward my dress.▼Click here for other photos
