All of us at coconogacco are very happy to receive such a wonderful award.
It has been 13 years since the launch of coconogacco in 2008, and we have had so many people participate in coconogacco.
Many more students than we could have ever imagined are now working as designers and are active in a variety of industries, not limited to fashion
.
We are very happy to hear about the successes of coconogacco students every year, such as Akiko Aoki, winner of the 2018 Mainichi Fashion Grand Prix,
Kotoha Yokozawa, winner of the 2020 New Designer Award, Tomotaka Koizumi, winner of the 2019 Special Award, and this year's Grand Prize winner, We are very happy to hear about the success of coconogacco students every year.
The environment surrounding fashion today is accumulating a variety of problems, and
social issues and responsibilities are also growing.
We would like to continue to foster an environment where students can learn about fashion while dealing with the ever-changing society.
We look forward to your continued support and cooperation.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have warmly supported us.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the teachers and staff who have worked together with us to build Koko no Gakko through trial and error.
