Bunka Fashion Graduate University
Bunka Fashion Graduate University, founded in 2006, will proudly celebrate it’s eleventh anniversary graduation in March of 2018.　Since the founding of BFGU, the rapidly evolving fashion industry has established and developed a new level of mastery and proficiency in the intellectual property business. During this same period, BFGU has become one of the most renowned institutions of post graduate studies in the fashion industry. It is also noted for the growing number of talented and motivated students capable of infusing innovative design values on the international level.
One of BFGU most recognized programs is the Fashion Design Course. Second year graduate students are challenged to present concept as well as philosophy in an indepth research of more than 15 fully coordinated works of art. Intensive examinations and portfolio presentation are mandatory to earn credits toward graduation.
Only select number of highest standards of quality will be featured in BFGU’s Visual Book. Their original designs feature functionality based on human engineering, and at the same time reflect the personalities of their creators. We are proud and continue to be confident that graduates’ contributions to the fashion industry and their futures will meet the limitless expectations of society for decades to come.

Chairperson, Division of Fashion Creation
The Fashion Design Course is honored and privileged to play an integral role in fostering a core of young innovative and passionate designers. Our expectations are high for students. First year students are required intensive research and a demanding schedule for project creation. More than ten fully coordinated artworks stressing originality and void of trend influences are essential parts of the curriculum. We encourage students to experience “challenges, experiments and failure. ” BFGU truly believes that failures ultimately lead to their success.
By the end of the first year, students are pushed to their limits researching and questioning themselves: What does it mean to be a fashion designer? How can I contribute to the fashion industry? What is my goal? What is everlasting beauty? Where do I see myself long term in the fashion world?
Using their first year research “results”, the requirements are only enhanced for second year students. Originality and personal traits must now be viewed from a business perspective. Second year students will prepare their work to get a Master Degree of Fashion Creation (Professional). The Visual Book is one of the stages of this work.
BFGU takes great pride in taking a leading role in the fashion industry in developing young aspiring fashion designers’ confidence and pride within themselves. BFGU is helping students take one step forward in making their dreams in fashion come true, ultimately if it is their passion and desire, to establish their own personal brand.

In the Fashion Design Course, students strive to develop their creative worlds and themes that meet the demands of a society with the constantly changing fashion trends of the times and the environmental changes. The students aim to share their stories and visions through their creative designs.
We began this Visual book with the focus of making creations available to the general public at large and we have compiled the 11th book. This book shows the students’ unique design worlds reflecting their own identities. It is our sincere hope and desire not only that the students’ creations would be shared and appreciated throughout the world, but also that the web site will become an invaluable resource where the next generation of various creators may exchange ideas and share all things about fashion.
We would like to thank everyone from teachers, faculty, staff including those at Bunka Gakuen and Bunka Publishing Bureau for their dedication, efforts and support for this BFGU Visual Book.

MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT

文化ファッション大学院大学

理事長・学長

大沼 淳

2006年にスタートした文化ファッション大学院大学は、2018年3月に第11期生が修了いたします。

開学以来、ファッションという知財創造をビジネスとして確立し、国際的なデザイン価値を、システム化できる人材を育成する専門職大学院として発展してまいりました。
ファッションビジネス研究科 ファッションクリエイション専攻 ファッションデザインコースでは、修了年次（2年生）に必修のプロジェクト科目である「修了研究・創作」を研究し、各自のフィロソフィーやコンセプトに添った15体以上のフルコーディネイト作品を制作の上、ポートフォリオと共に修了の単位取得最終審査を受けます。

その中から抜粋した作品をヴィジュアルブックとして発表するものです。デザインは非常に独創的ですが、同時に人間工学に基づいた機能を加味して、着用者一人ひとりの個性と満足度を引き出す作品になっています。
彼らの今後における活動は、限りない期待に十分応えうると確信します。

MESSAGE FROM CHAIRPERSON

ファッションクリエイション専攻　専攻長

櫛下町　伸一

強烈で個性的なデザインを発信し続けるファッションデザインコースの1年次では、必修科目の「終了研究・創作」で作品をデザインする上で、「挑戦・実験・失敗」を大いに奨励しています。中でも失敗は必ず将来の成功に繋がります。これらをトレンドに左右されない「今」の精神で作品にまとめ、10体以上のフルコーディネイトとして制作します。
そこで、1年終了時に、各自の未来を描きつつ、自分とは？　自分がやるべきことは？　目標は？　時代を越えた美しさとは？　さらなる夢は？　などをつかむところまで研究します。

その「何か」を自分のものにしたところで、修了年次（2年次）には自分の個性、オリジナルをビジネスに繋げる条件を考慮して、修士としての集大成作品にまとめます。ヴィジュアルブックはこれらの発表のステージのひとつです。

彼らの自信と誇りが、やがて揺るぎのない「自分ブランド」を確立するため、夢の実現へ向けてさらに一歩前進できるものと期待します。
