The "STYLEM x CFD Reborn Fabric Exhibition" has been held annually since 2023 as part of our initiative with CFD TOKYO to support the sustainable development of the fashion industry as a whole and the environment for next-generation manufacturing. At this exhibition, we sell sample fabrics created during the planning and development stages. These sample fabrics are typically difficult to sell alongside mass-produced items due to differences in specifications and lot sizes for mass production. This exhibition was organized with the aim of having designers and creators who are full members of CFD TOKYO utilize these sample fabrics as new value.
Attendees commented, "It's helpful for our brand to be able to purchase high-quality fabrics in small quantities and at reasonable prices," "There were many fabrics with unique designs, which changed my impression of Stylem," and "It's wonderful to have this opportunity, as there aren't usually chances to purchase Stylem fabrics directly."
Stylem will continue to deepen its collaboration with CFD TOKYO and support the manufacturing endeavors of designers and creators who will lead the next generation.
