Thursday, 28 May, 2026

Epson has announced the continuation of its partnership with the FASHION FRONTIER PROGRAM 2026 (FFP), a program that discovers and supports next-generation fashion designers. Beginning in 2022, the partnership is now in its fifth year.

Under its long-term corporate vision ‘ENGINEERED FUTURE 2035’, Epson aims to drive technological advances, engineer the optimal future and deliver value to society. Through this partnership, the company will provide its technologies and expertise to the next generation of creators, supporting their creativity and challenges in manufacturing and design and contributing to the realisation of this vision.

Since 2021, Epson has continuously provided technical support for the creation of collections presented at Paris Haute Couture Week by YUIMA NAKAZATO, the fashion brand led by Yuima Nakazato, the initiator of FFP.

Through this co-creation, the company has advanced its inkjet technology and leveraged digital textile printing to expand freedom of expression while reducing environmental impact and exploring new possibilities in sustainable fashion.

As part of the FFP, Epson plans to provide lectures and organise tours of its Solution Centres, providing participants with opportunities to deepen their understanding of its printing technology and gain hands-on experience.

In addition, the company will support the production of participants’ works by drawing on the technologies and expertise it has developed through its co-creation activities and business operations.
