GU held its first industry-academia collaboration with Tama Art University, presenting a fashion show themed "GU in Motion." Students directed by choreographer and dancer Saori Hara delivered performances incorporating body, architecture, video, and music. The show utilized the architectural spaces of the university's Uenoge Campus and new building, creating a dynamic experience where attendees moved through the space. GU has previously partnered with educational institutions to provide practical learning opportunities for students, and this year collaborated with Osaka University of Arts and Tokyo Mode Gakuen as well. A brand public relations representative commented that the initiative aims to create opportunities for students to learn, express themselves freely, and connect with society through fashion, while also inspiring GU to reconsider new possibilities for stores and fashion. The company plans to continue such initiatives, tailoring them to each school's expertise, student interests, and regional characteristics.
