TOKYO FASHION AWARD（TFA）への応募動機
新人デザイナーファッション大賞 都知事賞の受賞を機に、1つ上のアワードとして位置付けられているTOKYO FASHION AWARDを目標としてやってきた。
歴代受賞者も名だたる諸先輩方ばかりだったので、そこに近づけるように頑張っていきたい。
TFAの支援メニューについてはどう感じられましたか？どのメニューが魅力的に感じましたか？
継続的にパリの展示会には参加していたが、更に後押ししてくれる支援内容に魅力を感じた。展示会出展料以外の諸費用も支援いただけるのはとてもありがたい。
受賞の連絡を受けた時のお気持ち
以前より目標としてきたアワードだったので、純粋に嬉しい。
これまでのTFA受賞デザイナーの活躍をご覧になって、どう感じられましたか？
受賞をきっかけに飛躍している方も多くいると思うので、後に続ける様に頑張らなければと思う。
来年1月と6月のフィレンツェのピッティやパリのショールームでの発表に向けての意気込みと、目標をお願いします。
ピッティへの参加ははじめてなので、1人でも多くの方にブランドを認知してもらえるよう努めたい。パリへの誘致も含め、今まで以上に結果にこだわりたい。
What motivated you to make an entry to the TOKYO FASHION AWARD (TFA)?
Ever since I was awarded the TOKYO NEW DESIGNER FASHION GRAND PRIX, Governor of Tokyo Metropolis Award, I have been aiming for the TOKYO FASHION AWARD, which is positioned as one award higher.Past award winners are all well-known seniors, and I intend to do my best to rise close to them as much as possible.
How do you feel about TFA’s support menu? Which menu were you attracted to?
I’ve been participating in exhibitions at Paris on and off, but I was attracted to the support contents which offers further backup.I’m very thankful that miscellaneous costs besides that of exhibition venue charges are also supported.
How did you feel when you received the notice of winning the award?
I have been aiming for this award for a long time, so I am purely happy.
How do you feel seeing how active the 24 past TFA Award winners are?
I’m sure there are many designers whom made great strides through winning this award, so I feel I must do my best in order to follow in their footsteps.
Please give us a word of enthusiasm towards your presentations at Pitti in Florence and the Paris showroom, next January and June, and the goal you are aiming for through these overseas presentations.
This will be my first time to participate in PITTI UOMO, so I will do my best to have our brand acknowledged by as many people as possible. Including inviting people to come see us at Paris, I intend to be more particular about results than ever before.
