Токиодағы Бунка сәндік колледжі

Vocational school in Tokyo, Japan
Bunka Fashion College (文化服装学院) is a Japanese vocational school specializing in fashion design and related disciplines. It is headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and has more than 70 branches throughout Japan.

The college was founded in 1919 by Isaburō Namiki as a small dressmaking school for girls called Namiki Dressmaking School, at a time when European style clothing for women was only available for affluent families. In 1936, the name of the school became Bunka Fashion College, and it began publishing So en, Japan's first fashion magazine. The Bunka Fashion College went through three major eras. First, it taught people and families how to make clothes. Then in the 1960s, designers from the school such as Kenzo Takada (who enrolled in 1958) and designer Yohji Yamamoto emerged in the international fashion scene and drove the rise of modern Japanese fashion. Since the 2000s, the school has aimed to develop a more global and sustainable fashion industry.

Bunka has programs focusing on Fashion Design, Fashion Technology, Fashion Marketing and Distribution, Fashion Accessories and Textiles. In 2012, Bunka Gakuen University, the neighboring institute of higher education linked with the college, opened a Masters level course in Fashion Studies aimed at foreign students. This course is called the Global Fashion Concentration and is taught completely in English. Every year, new mannequins are created that reflect the average measurements of the students of that year, in an effort to work on realistic physical figures. All students are required to study the human body shape and how human bodies move. For oversea students who need to learn Japanese before enroll to the college. Bunka owns Bunka Institute of Language for them. It is in the same campus, and also belongs to the same group Bunka Gakuen.
