Tokyo Creative Salon is Japan’s largest fashion and design festival.
What happens?
The event has two main aims: to bring creative people together and make Tokyo one of the world’s leading creative cities.
To achieve these aims, Tokyo Creative Salon will be hosting various fashion and design-related events. They will span nine iconic areas — Marunouchi, Nihonbashi, Ginza, Akasaka, Shibuya, Harajuku, Haneda, Roppongi, and Shinjuku.
The theme for 2026 is “Future Vintage”.
Schedule 2026
From March 13 to 15, two official opening events are held at Shinjuku Sumitomo Building’s Sankaku Hiroba.
Tokyo Vintage Fashion Week runs from 1 to 7 p.m. on March 13, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on March 14 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on March 15. The event brings together around 100 vintage clothing dealers for a large-scale market, alongside two runway shows: the Regular Vintage Fashion Show on March 13 at 2:30 p.m. and the Future Vintage Fashion Show on March 14 at 3:30 p.m.
Taking place alongside it from March 13 to 15 is Tokyo Trace, an exhibition focusing on one designer and exploring their creative relationship with Tokyo. The first edition spotlights Nomarhythm Textile, presenting archive pieces, collaborations and video works.
The wider city-wide programmes continue from March 13 to 22 across the nine areas.
Highlights include craft-focused initiatives in Nihonbashi, fashion-linked events in Shibuya connected to Shibuya Fashion Week, street culture programmes in Harajuku, art installations among the cherry blossoms in Roppongi and heritage-inspired content in Ginza and Akasaka.
Marunouchi’s dedicated programme runs slightly later, from March 18 (Wednesday) to March 22 (Sunday). Centred around sustainable design and business culture, it includes market-style events and stamp rallies.
