Musinsa Opens Showroom for Korean Designer Brands in Tokyo, Japan

8 Brands Present 2024 S/S Season Collections
Over 250 Local Buyers and Fashion & Distribution Industry Professionals Attend

Musinsa announced on the 21st that it operated a showroom for domestic designer brands in Tokyo, Japan.

The showroom featured eight brands including ▲Achider ▲Gijun ▲Project Product ▲Recto ▲Stand Oil ▲To & To ▲Tteog Club ▲Youth, showcasing their 2024 Spring/Summer (S/S) collections.

During the three-day event until the 20th, over 250 buyers from popular Japanese select shops such as United Arrows, Beams, Nubian, GR8, Great, as well as major department stores like Isetan and Hankyu, visited, demonstrating strong interest in Korean brands. Approximately 80% of the participating companies plan to select brands through the showroom and present them in their stores starting from the next spring season.

The reason Musinsa operated the showroom in Tokyo, rather than in cities hosting fashion weeks like Paris or Milan, is based on the judgment that Korean designer brands have high growth potential in the Japanese fashion market. With increasing local interest and demand for K-fashion, the aim is to create opportunities for domestic brands to actively enter the Japanese market. Previously, Musinsa's first pop-up store for general customers held in Tokyo last April attracted about 14,000 visitors within three days of opening, achieving great success.

A Musinsa representative said, “This showroom was planned to showcase the appeal and growth potential of Korean designer brands to buyers from major department stores and select shops in Japan and to create connections.” They added, “We will continue to increase opportunities for Musinsa and domestic brands to expand the foundation of K-fashion together within the local fashion market.”
