DESIGNER/EMBROIDERY ARTIST

tanakadaisuke

designer/embroidery artist

Graduated from Fashion Creator in 2014
Graduated from Osaka Municipal Technical High School

I want to captivate viewers with my unique personality.

After graduating, I launched my own personal brand, ``tanakadaisuke,'' and I work as a fashion designer and embroidery artist, creating costumes for artists and commercials. The beauty of this job is that you can basically leave the ordering of costumes and items to me, so I can create everything to my satisfaction, from the materials to the design, sewing, and finishing. In 2022, we will be presenting our collection on the Tokyo Collection runway, and in an environment where we can deliver clothes to a variety of people, which we could not have done with our previous activities, we will be able to spread our stories from a small scope to a larger world. I feel a sense of fulfillment in what I do. It's a big burden because of the expectations, but it's a happy time.

We were invited to the fashion event "PTU Fashion Week" held in Seoul, Korea, where we held a special lecture by Daisuke Tanaka and our first exhibition in Korea.

At the talk show held as a special event for the Autumn Festival, he spoke about the appeal and expansion of fashion, and the rewards of working as a designer, based on his own experiences and perspectives.

He served as the head judge for the 12th annual "High School Student Design Drawing Contest." He judges the works based on his own knowledge and sensibilities, and is dedicated to producing the next generation of creators.

I want to help women look beautiful

I am in charge of designing shapewear that makes women's bodies look beautiful when worn. Products such as girdles and bodysuits require product development that takes into consideration not only appearance, but also comfort and functionality. After working as a pattern maker, I am now involved in the development of main products, but the reason I am able to pursue the best designs in my work is because of my experience in creating works without compromising on OIF.

Oversees sales strategy for foreign brands

As the MD assistant for ``THOM BROWNE,'' I oversee the sales strategy for all 16 stores in Japan together with my boss, the MD. The reason I wanted to work for a foreign brand was because of the training I had in the United States and New York at OIF. After graduating, I studied abroad in Canada for two years in order to work for a foreign company. My work involves a lot of interaction with people overseas, so the English skills I acquired while studying abroad and the wide range of fashion knowledge I learned through OIF are useful. Pursue what you are good at in OIF and acquire many weapons.

Store management is interesting because it's creative.

As the owner, I handle everything from branding the shop to negotiating deals with brands and selling. Analyzing the mood and trends of the times is also an important job. We collect information by reading industry newspapers and researching the purchasing demographic, and reflect it in our buying decisions in Tokyo and Paris. The management of the store is creative. By making various efforts, the number of customers increases and I feel it is rewarding. We would like to continue increasing the number of brands we handle and enriching our product lineup.

STYLIST

Graduated from Fashion Business Stylist Course in 2003
Graduated from Kagoshima Prefectural Oguchi High School

Styling popular comedians and talents

Since the actors are the main actors when it comes to styling on TV shows, my motto is "Branding through clothing." We create styling with the utmost attention to the wearer's character and appearance. When I think about the impression each design and item creates, I feel that everything I learned as a student, from textiles to fashion history, has come into use now that I am a professional.

STYLIST

Graduated from Kishiwada City Sangyo High School

I want to help you shine in each scene.

I work as a stylist in various locations. The content and skills required for each site, such as artist sites, TV recordings, dramas, and movies, are different, so it is important to broaden your perspective and think three or four times ahead. A big live tour is tough because we start a month in advance and work until the last minute, but I feel a sense of accomplishment when I see them singing and dancing on stage. I feel that the experience of styling and presenting many times at OIF and the many things I learned, such as color, research, patterns, and sewing, are connected to where I am today.
