Tokyo Creative Salon (TCS) is a one-of-a-kind global celebration of creativity, combining Fashion Week and Design Week. The ultimate goal of TCS is to establish Tokyo as the world's premier creative city. A creative city is one that encourages everyone, regardless of their profession, to engage in creative activities by providing the necessary "space, opportunities, and inspiration" where creativity enriches the city and brings happiness to its inhabitants.

TCS is a collaborative effort between businesses, governmental bodies, industry associations, and local communities, all working together to elevate Tokyo as a global hub for fashion and design. The event takes place each year during the enchanting spring cherry blossom season.

Anticipated to draw 1.5 million visitors, featuring over 100 participating artists, and presenting more than 100 unique events and contents, TCS promises a diverse and engaging experience. Below are highlights of some of the exciting events scheduled for the festival.

The opening event of TCS, a festival of fashion and design.

To ensure you make the most of your time at TCS, we will also provide an orientation session. We look forward to your participation.
