Sustainability Initiatives】 Currently, it is said that hundreds of thousands of kimonos are discarded each year in Japan. And although furisode are expensive and luxurious, the opportunities to wear them are limited. As a result, they often end up sleeping in the back of the closet and eventually being disposed of. K’FORWARD is breathing new value into this situation through the power of fashion, and is working on upcycling as a step towards “zero waste” of kimonos. It is also attracting attention as a style for starting a new life that is not bound by gender or formality, and is gaining sympathy, especially among Gen Z. ■Contact Information PlusOne Co., Ltd.
