The “International Student Fashion Show” in EXPO20205

EVENT

The “International Student Fashion Show” 

The “International Student Fashion Show” at the 13th International Red-White Singing Festival in Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai showcased the unique cultural identities of countries from around the world.

Even Japanese participants who rarely wear a kimono usually feel their posture straighten and their spirits lift when dressed in clothing that represents their nationality. It was the same for the international women living in Japan. They prepared traditional costumes that they don’t often wear in daily life, and with bright smiles, created a truly wonderful show.

Models appeared in traditional attire from India, Sri Lanka, Hawaii, Myanmar, Algeria, China, Vietnam, Egypt, and Ukraine, dazzling the audience under a shower of camera flashes.
