BRAND FROM Xseed BRAND

  • VIANAD ViVijoanne Anais dorsbien

    Designer:Maaku Suzuki
    2014 X-SEED Graduates
    BRAND CONCEPT
    ViVijoanne and Anais. Two fictional sisters dream of an imaginary heroine. She is elegant and sweet, yet her mysteriousness draws people’s attention. Based on such a female image, like a dream from the past, like a scene from a romance movie - the feeling of dreaming a story translates to the feeling of wearing a story; a brand in which garments transform women dramatically.

About us

《Vantan Tokyo》 Vantan Tokyo は、2009 年よりファッション分野の在校生・卒業生の独立・事業展開を支援するインキュベーションの取り組みとして始まりました。 これまでにフランス・パリのファッションウィーク期間中に3 度の展示会やショーを開催し、展示会では、80 名以上のバイヤーが来場、40 件以上のオーダーを獲得しています。 スペイン・イギリス・香港など世界各国から受注し、卒業生である「AGURI SAGIMORI」や「nude:masahiko maruyama 」など、若手デザイナーが世界デビューを果たしています。 2012 年2 月に開催予定である次回の「Vantan Tokyo」は、これまで開催してきたフランス・パリでの展示会から、現在の世界ファッションの先端であるアメリカ・ニューヨークにそのフィールドを移し開催します。Mercedes Benz Fashion Week の総合プロデュースを行っている“IMG”によりMercedes Benz Fashion Week 参加ブランドショーとして正式に認可を受け、メイン会場であるLincoln Center でショーの開催を予定しています。 これは、日本の教育機関としては初めての取り組みです。 バンタンは、現在の社会背景によりグローバル化への対応が急務と捉え、海外でも活躍できる人材を育成したいという思いから、これまで主に国内で行ってきた“実践型デザイン教育”の枠を海外へと広げ、「Vantan Tokyo」を開催しています。 Vantan Tokyo started as a part of Vantan Design Institute’s incubation projects in 2009, setting a stage for the market debut of students while still at school as well as creating a platform for them to launch their creative career. We have held Vantan Tokyo three times during Paris Fashion Week. Over 80 buyers traveled from around the world to the exhibition, where we received more than 40 orders. Our graduates include active young designers, such as Aguri Sagimori of “AGURI SAGIMORI” and Masahiko Maruyama of “nude:masahiko maruyama”. Changing the venue from Paris to New York next year, Vantan has been moving into a new phase. We proudly announce that Vantan Tokyo will be presented in February 2012 at The Studio in Lincoln Center for the A/W 2012 collection. Vantan Design Institute will be the first and only design school,among all the educational institutions in Japan, to participate in Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York, known as one of the major fashion events worldwide, produced by IMG Fashion. Vantan has been offering unique design education programs, producing graduates with highly developed design techniques and practical business skills. Responding to the rapidly increasing needs of international competitiveness, we try to focus on developing fashion industry professionals who can play roles as the driving force on the global scale. Vantan Tokyo has been one of the symbolic events that represent our educational policy in the international perspective.
