[VOUTRAIL FA] Launched with a New Name -- Osaka Bunka Fashion College Changes Name to 'VOUTRAIL THE FASHION ACADEMY'

VOUTRAIL THE FASHION ACADEMY (hereinafter VOUTRAIL, Educational Corporation Osaka Bunka Fashion College, Chairman: Akitoshi Toyoda, Location: Mikunihonmachi, Yodogawa-ku, Osaka), which trains designers and fashion talent, changed its school name from Osaka Bunka Fashion College and launched under the new name on April 1, 2026. Taking this milestone as an opportunity, the school has established a new M.V.V. (Mission, Vision, Value) and is releasing it to all stakeholders. ## ■ Mission **** **Bringing 'Joy', 'Confidence', and an 'Updraft' to society through the power of creation** This is a concept to express the school's influence and existential value as an educational institution, and serves as the axis for all management decisions. **** **'Vogue' + 'Trailblazer'** **Creating trendsetters who will become 'pioneers' and 'trailblazers' of the era in a constantly changing world.** Based on the two words from which the school name is derived, this expresses the meaning and passion embedded in them as a philosophy. ## ■ Vision **An aloof fashion school that achieves unparalleled results in Asia and carves its name in the world** Aiming not only to be active domestically but to achieve results that sweep across Asia and become a highly respected presence. Through this, the school aims to be recognized globally as a trusted fashion educational institution. ## ■ Value (Values and Action Guidelines) **** **Deep Exploration -> Conceptualization -> Verbalization** Our school places immense importance on 'Research', 'Concept', and 'Portfolio'—the upstream processes of creation—as 'higher-level concepts' for deriving 'unique values', extracting and reconstructing them as differentiating factors. **** Expressed in five articles, named after the 'V' (5) in VOUTRAIL. **Continue to 'Question oneself'** **Transcend 'Déjà vu'**
