A French Fashion & Innovation exhibition in Nagai Park during the World Expo in Osaka

12 April - 31 July 2025, Osaka, Japan

 

After participating in the last three World Expos (Shanghai 2010, Milano 2015 and Dubai 2020), the cultural and non-profit organization lille3000 continues the journey with a new edition of Futurotextiles, echoing the topic of World Expo Osaka (Japan) in 2025.  Curated by Caroline David, the project will be held in the heart of the city. The exhibition will showcase the latest creations, prototypes, and “savoir-faire” in textile and fashion, coming notably from the Lille European Metropolis, the Hauts-de-France Region, and Europe, and combine them with Japanese textile traditions and innovations. The exhibition will especially highlight contemporary designers, whether in fashion, art, or design, that are taking inspiration from new textile materials and incorporating new, more responsible fibers. 

The exhibition will take place on two 600 m² levels in the Flower Greenery Nature Information Center, in Nagai Park in the heart of Osaka, close to the official World Expo site. Nagai Park welcomed 838,888 visitors in 2023 and is a popular venue for cultural (Team Lab), botanical and sporting activities. Lille3000 is looking forward to welcoming Japanese visitors on site!
