Introduction of school
The Osaka Institute of Fashion has 77 years of history. Our instructors themselves have studied abroad at leading education institutions, allowing for the establishment of educational methods that meet the global standard. You can learn high-level design-focused ways of thinking and the skills to bring your ideas to life just the way you imagined, all while staying in Japan. And we stay up to date on the latest changes in the times, enthusiastically incorporating new ways of working such as employing 3D models and ICT.
Features of school
- While at the University, special programs can make “My Brand,” “My Shop,” and “My Style”! Possible
-
We hold exhibitions in Tokyo and Osaka, and announce “My Brand.” We capitalize on the opportunities to conclude negotiations / sales with domestic and overseas stores, provide clothing for television personalities and artists, or be featured in a magazine. Since 2000, “My Shop” has been operated for three months at a time in areas such as Umeda, Shinsaibashi, and Namba. The students are involved in all shop management duties, from store layout and serving customers to PR and sales management. And “My Style” is repeatedly announced at fashion shows and at photo shoots on location and in the studio. Participants appoint photographers and models, and plan total styling.
- Acquire on-the-job and practical skills through total global collaborations and internships!
-
You’ll have many opportunities to try out what you’ve learned with the strong backing of the apparel industry. In industry collaborations, students’ ideas are sometimes actually commercialized as real products. In the stylist course, gain experience through internships and collaborations while attending school, on sites such as magazines, fashion shows, concerts, commercials and television. Build personal connections while acquiring practical skills. With the fashion business course, first year students experience internships for approximately one month in winter. We have won the prize for six consecutive years in the sales roleplay meet, in which many schools participate, showing that our students acquire practical skills that rival professionals, and are ready to be immediate assets at work.
