IFF MAGIC JAPAN ~Fashion Expo in Tokyo, Japan~

I went to IFF MAGIC JAPAN which was held 2weeks ago at Tokyo Big Sight in Japan.


The world's largest fashion expo "MAGIC" which is held in Las Vegas in U.S. and comprised of eleven unique communities showcasing the latest in apparel, footwear, accessories, and manufacturing has partnered with JFW-IFF, the longest running fashion exhibition in Japan, as IFF MAGIC Japan.


Japan is the third largest fashion market in the world after the U.S. and the EU. Japan's fashion trends influence the fashion markets not only of Asia but all around the world.


IFF MAGIC Japan was the first time that Japan hosts a truly international trade fair for the fashion industries.


IFF MAGIC Japan is the fashion event for retail buyers and attendees from all over Japan and Asia as well as other parts of the world. IFF MAGIC Japan serves as a high-profile showcase for top Japanese fashion brands and designers to promote themselves to Japan and the global market, and also as a valuable opportunities for international brands and suppliers to access the lucrative Japanese market.

I have been to MAGIC in Las Vegas a couple of times. Compare to MAGIC in the U.S., IFF MAGIC Japan is still small. But I think it will be expanded.

NY WOMEN'S SEPTEMBER ~Participated in COTERIE~

We also support Japanese brands to expand their business into overseas. Therefore we've been to 

New York, Paris, Berlin, London...many places for participating in trade shows for them.

Last week, we participated in COTERIE show in New York. COTERIE is a part of NY WOMEN'S SEPTEMBER which is an elevated fashion showcase comprised of eight unique shows, COTERIE, SOLE COMMERCE, STITCH, POOLTRADESHOW, ACCESSORIES THE SHOW, FAME, MODA, SOURCING@COTERIE.

COTERIE is the premier global marketplace that connects women's apparel, accessories, and footwear designers.

New York has such a strong energy.

Every time we go there,  we get a lot of great motivation and inspiration.

Jumble Tokyo Exhibition

I went to Jumble Tokyo Exhibition which was held in
Shibuya last week.



The Trade show, Jumble Tokyo has played a major role
amongst Japanese Clothing brands, accessories, home goods, as well as works of art within the industry for more than 10 years in the Tokyo fashion scene.



What makes Jumble unique is its vow for "quality first."

Their dedication is defined in its encouragement of local production and a long lifespan of goods through the careful selection of raw materials, perpetual design, and skilled craftsmanship.



However, Jumble and its 200+ vendors have collectively taken an initiative to present their story behind every produced product; who, how, and where our goods are produced within Japan.



Jumble organizes "JAMBLE PARIS" in Paris as well.


This exhibition is very cool.
Definitely "MUST SEE" expo.

The beauty and health industry expo

I went to the beauty and health industry expo which was held at Tokyo Big Sight.
This expo is divided into three sections.

"ANTI-AGEING JAPAN"

"DIET & BEAUTY FAIR"

"SPA & WELLNESS JAPAN"

You can research and find cosmetics, supplements, ingredients, equipments, methods, services...
anything related to the BEAUTY and HEALTH.

Visitors are mostly from Beauty salon, Fitness facility, Wholesale & trading company, and Manufacturer.

It's very interesting to see the beauty and health industry in Japan.

International Gift Show LIFE X DESIGN

 I went to International Gift Show LIFE x DESIGN which is held at Tokyo Big Sight.



Tokyo Big Sight is a convention and exhibition center in Tokyo, and the largest convention center in Japan.



It's located in Ariake Minami district of Tokyo Waterfront City on Tokyo Bay waterfront.



The shape of building is very unique.

The theme of the International Gift Show LIFE x DESIGN was "New Trends in Lifestyle Design for People and Living." Focusing on lifestyles and designs, the Show exhibits house-related products. 

The original International Gift Show will be held on Sep 6-8.

The estimated visitors are 50,000 visitors and the estimated participations are 600 companies 800 booths all together.

It's a must go place if you would like to see Japanese trends.

                  

International Organic Expo 2017

I went to International Organic Expo 2017 which was held in Yokohama last week.
Nowadays, people got to be very careful of their health. We are trying to eat healthy food, use organic skin care, and do exercising.
The sales of the organic products which are safely and security, good for the health, environment friendly are gradually increasing in Japan. But the market is still small compare to U.S.A or Australia.

The most interesting product for me was the Organic Sake.
I know there is organic wine, but I didn't know there was organic sake.


70 kinds of organic sake from all around Japan were displayed.


Although I didn't have chance to try them out, I would love to try them next time if I got a chance.
