Shibuya Fashion Week (SFW®) is set to ignite Tokyo’s style scene this spring with a groundbreaking new event, “THE CULTIVATE MARKET by SFW®”. This innovative market, designed to “mix communities,” promises a vibrant fusion of fashion, creativity, and connection, making its debut on March 20-21, 2026, at Shibuya Sakura Stage’s BLOOM GATE.

The market marks a fresh chapter for Shibuya Fashion Week, an event that has consistently positioned Shibuya as a global culture beacon through 13 years and 25 editions. As a key component of “TOKYO CREATIVE SALON 2026,” SFW continues its mission to cultivate new trends and foster creative exchange within the city’s dynamic landscape. The “CULTIVATE” concept, which shares its roots with “culture,” underscores the event’s commitment to nurturing fertile ground for new ideas, much like Shibuya’s historical landscape once cultivated rich rice fields.

“THE CULTIVATE MARKET by SFW®” aims to be more than just a place for transactions. It’s envisioned as a dynamic hub where conversations spark, values intertwine, and people, goods, and ideas converge. The atmosphere will surely be buzzing with the energy of discovery, a place where visitors might naturally find themselves becoming part of a larger community. This two-day event will bring together a diverse array of participants, leveraging SFW’s extensive network to showcase established designers, influential figures, and emerging talents.
