IMG Fashion and and Japan Fashion Week Organization have signed a 5 year partnership. Japan Fasion Week Organization holds the Tokyo Collection Week which is held twice a year.
JFWO has been created to strengthen the competitive power of the Japanese textile and
fashion industry, and to encourage growth. It is also designed to further increase Tokyo’s
reputation as a significant textile and fashion hub. The event brings together manufacturers in
the textile and fashion industries, fashion designers and distributors from across Japan, greater
South East Asia and the world.
“This is a very exciting partnership,” said Mr. Peter Levy, Senior Vice President and Managing
Director of IMG Fashion, Worldwide. “Tokyo Collection Week is one of the more significant
fashion events held annually and has reached a stage in its lifecycle where it is capable of
achieving substantial growth. Our globally connected team at IMG Fashion is ready to take on
this challenge and work closely with the JFWO to realize the event’s true potential.”
Last season Tokyo Collection Week comprised of over 30,000 visitors and managed 44 shows. The 11th edition of Tokyo Collection Week will take place from October 18-20, 2010, to showcase the Spring Summer 2011 season.
