Welcome Message from Chairman
Welcome
It is a great honor to host the 16th Annual Conference for the International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institutes (IFFTI) at Bunka Gakuen Educational Foundation in Tokyo, especially since this year marks our 90th anniversary.
The theme – "The Power of Fashion" – has been chosen to inspire all delegates to think about how the power of fashion has evolved over the years and what contribution it can make to build a better world for future generations. I look forward to the academic paper presentations that will address this theme and the stimulating discussion that it will create.
Bunka is planning a number of activities and events for delegates to enjoy throughout the conference, including fashion show, international fashion illustration contest, and Bunka graduate exhibitions. There will also be a special exhibition at the Bunka Gakuen Costume Museum. I hope that all delegates will enjoy these events and take the opportunity to network and share information with one another.
I look forward to welcoming you to Bunka and wish you an enjoyable conference.
