Awaji Island, the birthplace of Japan, the process of spinning, weaving, sewing, and the resulting clothing, and then remaking—this entire flow is about life. We will be holding this exhibition at S BRICK, a former spinning mill on Awaji Island. This exhibition likens living, being alive, wearing clothes, and remaking clothes to "living," and we hope you will come and feel the energy.
For the fashion show, we've chosen people with connections to Awaji Island.

[ii Introduction]
We take products from the brand Char*, cut and join them, dye them, and print on them. Sometimes we even turn them inside out. And that's when we discover some great (ii) clothes.
Young people are reimagining the clothes from the brand Char*, imagining how they would like them to be.
Even "clothes meant to be worn for a long time" are given an upgrade to a different form before their lifespan is over. In this era prone to conservatism, they are not afraid to change and take on challenges. A brand that allows you to trace the memories of fabric over 18 years.
