HOME > What's TGC?


TGC is built around the concept of introducing real Japanese clothes to the world. Since its inception in the summer of 2005, TGC has been held twice a year, and has become a major fashion event that has captured the imagination of stylish, fashion-conscious young women in Japan. The previous event, 2010 Spring/Summer attracted 25,500 visitors. TGC offers a unique blend of the latest fashion trends and live musical performances −performed on stage and displayed on screens, which generate significant media coverage and a tremendous amount of popular interest.
There are thousands of fashion brands existing in Japanese domestic market, and from children to seniors, every fashion style issues lots of magazines so that Japan is one of the biggest fashion country in the world. The real fashion means the clothing which is able to wear everyday outfits. Also, essentially backed by the consumers and includes cultural context. Therefore, real clothes is the most popular real fashion.
TGC presents the latest everyday fashions rather than the 'clothes as works of art' format of conventional catwalk shows. Moreover, the main target audience for TGC shows are not fashion industry professionals such as buyers and journalists, but regular female consumers.
In a country with a population of approximately 130 million, over 100 million mobile phones are registered. With a wide variety of original mobile contents, mobile phones are increasingly enforcing its role as an internet tool, becoming an essential communication tool in everyday life. TGC is unique in that it is linked with mobile e-commerce. Women who come to the fashion show can purchase clothes and accessories donned by models on the runway real time, making this event a major online mobile festival which is gathering much attention from both within and outside of Japan.
TGC's theme of this season "Back to the Classic Future" is about "future inspired by classic elements" (looking back at the roots of the brands and expressing them for the future) − a proposition that incorporates the world's fashion trend for 2010 A/W, in addition to inheriting the style of TGC which has created over the years, so as to create a new page in the history. We expect to achieve a turnout of 30,000 visitors at Saitama Super Arena − an unprecedented number of visitors for TGC. Amidst difficult social conditions, TGC proposes not just fashion but also a lifestyle to those positive, hard-working girls.
A wide variety of fashion categories will gather in one to present 4 stages of "trend" "elegance" "select" and "designers." Making full use of music and video, we will produce the best shows for each brand. Over 70 gorgeous models, the show will make a spectacle of the latest fashion for autumn/winter. We also expect to deliver contents such as music lives by popular artists, charity auctions and appearances by major celebrities.
We are also planning many other events; beginning with our shows in Beijing next spring, we are considering expanding our activities worldwide in order to send out the fashion culture and girls' culture, which is so proud of, contribute to Japan's domestic apparel industry as well as regional economies. Don't forget to check out the TGC as we keep on juicing up.
