In times when numerous designers and modes of clothing are in a constant flux of birth and obsoletion, we continue to harbor a strong belief in the ideas and aesthetic consciousness that exist within the context of past creations. Fashion is indeed ever changing with the times, yet rather than considering it as a mere subject of “consumption,” we respect the creations of the past and engage in their collection and preservation as “cultural resources” to be succeeded to future generations. The most important element of our practice is to pass on this profound sense of creativity by means of cultural activities such as the loaning of works to exhibitions, through it aiming to offer our contribution to society.
数多くのデザイナーや服が、生まれては消えていく時代の中においても私たちは、過去の創造の背後にある思想や美意識の存在を強く信じています。時代と共に変遷してきたファッションを“消費”するのではなく過去の創作に敬意を持ち、次世代へ継承していく“文化的資料”と捉え、収集・保管を行っております。展覧会等への貸出等、文化的活動を通した継承を最重要方針とし、社会貢献を目指しています。
