Vintage culture from Tokyo to the world.
The Tokyo Creative Salon Executive Committee (Tokyo Vintage Fashion Week Executive Committee Chairman: Tomonori Matsui, CEO of ONEO Ltd.) held the "Tokyo Vintage Fashion Week" (hereinafter TVFW) for three days from Friday, March 13 to Sunday, March 15, 2026, at the Shinjuku Sumitomo Building Triangle Square. This event was an original content of TOKYO CREATIVE SALON, which envisions "elevating Japan to become one of the world's top 5 fashion week cities."
At this inaugural event, in addition to a vintage market gathering 83 companies and 107 booths from Japan and abroad, the world's first fashion show consisting entirely of "used clothing" was held as the main content.
A total of 18,623 people visited over the three days, and the event concluded with great success.
1. Vintage Fashion Show
On the first day, at the "Regular Vintage Fashion Show," stylist Manabu Harada and designer/activist eri teamed up to breathe new life into "everyday used clothing" that doesn't rely solely on rarity. They carefully selected only regular pieces that are seeing significant re-evaluation, expressing a realistic aesthetic on the runway that resonates with the current era.
On the following second day, at the "Future Vintage Fashion Show," stylist Yoko Miyake creatively mixed historical archives such as COMME des GARÇONS, Bottega Veneta, DIOR, and RAF SIMONS.
With a sharp aesthetic eye looking ahead to the vintage of decades to come, she overwhelmed the audience by presenting the circulation of fashion and a new paradigm connecting the past, present, and future.

2. Reflecting on TVFW by Executive Committee Chairman Tomonori Matsui
Following the conclusion of Tokyo Vintage Fashion Week, I would like to express my sincere gratitude once again to the 18,623 people who attended.
What I strongly felt this time was that we were able to express a "fashion week with new values" where people from all over the world gather, using the asset of "vintage," rather than a fashion week that is an extension of conventional values. I myself was deeply impressed by this.
While the West has created luxury and polished its value, Tokyo has a culture that is unique to Tokyo. I believe that is street style, used clothing, and an accumulation of sensibilities that have been passed down from person to person across eras.
Without the past, the future cannot be made.
That is exactly why, by re-presenting clothes that have survived through time to the present era in the form of fashion shows and markets—rather than just feeling nostalgic about them—we transform the value of the past into the value of the future.
I believe that was the meaning of this fashion week.
Tokyo is a city where the world's values gather, and at the same time, it is a city that can create new values for the world.
Being able to give shape to that potential through the culture of used clothing was a major step forward.
We would like to continue to evolve a fashion week unique to Tokyo and nurture it into a culture that we can be proud of in the world.
Thank you all for your continued support.
