For years, Japanese street fashion has impacted people from around the world. People from all over the world take inspiration from the trendy looks of Shinjuku to the eclectic outfits of Harajuku. Join us as we showcase these unique styles with members of the local Jfashion community and celebrate joy, creativity, and self-expression!
This featured programming is brand new for 2026 and will be hosted by the ever-fashionable Pretty Knight Lauri.
The Jfashion Catwalk is a fashion showcase highlighting alternative and street fashion from Japan that celebrates the creativity and unique style of the local Jfashion community and the international impact of these fashion styles.
