"SOROYURU" - Transforming the Future of Fashion

The Unified Diversity Fashion Show - SOROYURU took place at the Wasse Exhibition Hall, Expo 2025 Osaka. Models from Japan, Indonesia, Australia, Brazil, Italy, France, Jordan, Canada, and Liberia were dressed in fashionable ethnic costumes made of Comfiknit's fabrics, showcasing the beauty of SOROYURU.

The pieces designed for the nine nations are diverse when some of the elements on one piece are partially matched with those on another, creating a subtle sense of interconnection. The collection channels the "SOROYURU" concept, which extends beyond colours and patterns to encompass the resonance of thoughts, ideas, and directions, fostering a harmonious balance and showcasing the linkage/unity of diversity and empathy beyond race, gender, and culture from different parts of the world.

The Japanese word "soro" (soroeru) means "gentle coordination" while "yuru" refers to "something loosened, relaxed, laid-back, or unpretentious".

Comfiknit has engaged in a collaboration with Japan's innovative SteAm Design House to promote the "SOROYURU" concept, which is envisioned to lead the development of a future-proof sustainable fashion business. SteAm was founded by Sachiko Nakajima, the curator of the Jellyfish Pavilion. A SOROYURU Executive Committee has been formed to advance the mission, with the Unified Diversity Fashion Show as the kick-off event.
