"SOROYURU" - Transforming the Future of Fashion

Australia, Brazil, Italy, France, Jordan, Canada, and Liberia were
dressed in fashionable ethnic costumes made of Comfiknit's fabrics,

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.

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