Made-in-Japan Clothing Makes Debut During Men’s Fashion Week in Paris
In a bid to promote high-quality clothing made entirely in Japan to a worldwide audience, a Japanese clothing industry group held its first exhibition of such garments in Paris.
The Japan Apparel and Fashion Industry Council timed the exhibition to coincide with Men’s Fashion Week that was held through Sunday in the French capital. The exhibition featured clothing made at council-approved domestic factories throughout the entire manufacturing process, from fabric production to the dying process and the stitching. Although domestically made garments tend to be squeezed out of the market by cheaper imports, the council aims to expand sales channels by showcasing the clothing’s superb quality. The items bear a “J Quality” label certifying each garment was made in Japan through a consistent production system from raw material to finished product. Read more at The Japan News.
