"NEW ENERGY" is a creation festival that includes exhibitions, markets, and media. More than 200 creators and brands with a wide variety of expressions will exhibit and sell.
At the Augavitz booth, there will be a workshop where you can print organic cotton T-shirts on the spot, sell apple leather products by lifestyle brand LOVST TOKYO, and exhibit collaborative works with Aoyama Gakuin University's fashion club "Aoyama Fashion Association".
Orgabits, which started the project in 2005, has a desire to support the next generation of ethical and sustainable projects and brands. We are exhibiting at the creation festival "rooms".
At this year's Orgabits booth, we will jointly exhibit to support two ethical brands and creators, introduce and sell them, and hold a workshop to convey the joy of creation.

＜Aoyama Fashion Association＞https://afacrew.com/
A student clothing group that designs, produces, and sells fashion based at Aoyama Gakuin University. We work together as a production partner.
On the day of the event, organic cotton T-shirts made under the theme of unconscious will be exhibited for the first time. With the desire to create a new image while confronting various biases towards 'ethical fashion' and to create opportunities for the younger generation to take an interest in it, we create works that are meticulous in every detail, from the selection of fabrics to sewing and washing tags. Please look.
<LOVST TOKYO>https://lovst-tokyo.com/
A lifestyle brand that develops plant-derived products by upcycling vegetables and fruits, including “Apple leather” made from discarded apples. On the day of the event, Apple leather products will be sold. By actually touching it, you can experience the luxurious feel and lightness of vegetable leather.

·workshop
A workshop will be held where you can use a printer to print your favorite print on organic cotton T-shirts made by Orgabits.
In addition, there is a cafe "FabCafe" where you can freely enjoy "digital manufacturing" using laser cutters and UV printers, and a service "SUZURI by GMO Pepabo" where you can easily create and sell original goods. We will promote the birth of new creators by introducing them and promoting the “easiness of producing and selling original items”. Experience the joy of creation as a “creator”.

■What is ORGABITS?
"ORGABITS" is an organic cotton spread project that started in 2005 with the idea that everyone should contribute "bits" to the global environment and producers. In order to make it easier for organic cotton to be used and spread, we are currently working on a "reversal idea" to deliver 10% organic cotton products to 100 times more people, without being particular about using 100% organic cotton in one piece of clothing. To date, more than 140 fashion brands have participated, producing more than 10 million items in total. Items that support ORGABITS include donations to support organic cotton farmers and NPO corporations, and the circle of social contribution activities that you can participate in on a daily basis through one piece of clothing is expanding.
