In preparation for the event, project members visited the World Kita-Aoyama Building and selected their own clothes while imagining a new step forward for themselves, such as “I want to wear clothes that are different from what I usually wear,” “I want to choose colors and patterns that I’m not comfortable with,” and “I want to have a style that isn’t available in the city.”

The finished product, which combines different materials, retains the vestiges of the original product while giving it a new look, making it the perfect embodiment of upcycling. The very concept of “Be Released” which balances SDGs and fashionability, as well as the appeal of remade fashion that makes individuality shine, and each person who appeared had fun sharing their own unique and newly challenged styling towards hope for the future and solving social issues.
