FASHION FRONTIER PROGRAM 2026 Final Judging Set For December 12 At MoN Takanawa
The program hands its deciding round to a museum venue and puts its founder on stage with it, which ties the award's public face to MoN Takanawa's own institutional programming rather than to a fashion industry hall.

The FASHION FRONTIER PROGRAM 2026 holds its final judging and awards ceremony on Saturday, December 12, 2026, at MoN Takanawa: The Museum of Narratives Box1000, running from 13:00 to 19:00 with doors at 12:30. Eight finalists give final presentations, judges decide the winners, and a symposium with founder Yuima Nakazato and special guests is planned. The program was launched by Nakazato in 2021 to discover and support designers.
The event runs inside Box1000 from 13:00 to 19:00, with doors at 12:30. Ticket details are to come in a November press release. Lectures and interim judging sessions have been held repeatedly at MoN Takanawa through the fiscal year, so the December date closes a run that has already been staged on site.
Yuima Nakazato founded the program in 2021 and works with MoN Takanawa as a MoN Creative Partner. The organizing body is YUIMA NAKAZATO LABORATORY, with unisteps and the FASHION FRONTIER PROGRAM Executive Committee as co-organizers and the Ministry of the Environment as supporter. Goldwin, Seiko Epson, Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores, and YKK are listed as sponsors.
