Participation

This event is for Gen A fellows only. If you would like to become a fellow, keep an eye on our Call for Application for 2023, which will be posted towards the end of the year. 

For our fourth Gen A Roundtable, we are sitting together with Kazu Huggler, fashion designer and entrepreneur. How does one rise from "one of many" to a relevant fashion brand and which obstacles did she have to overcome as an entrepreneur in the fashion industry? What are the chances and challenges of the current global situation and how does she coordinate her showrooms, fashion shows, etc., in Switzerland and Japan? What are the differences between the fashion scenes in Europe and Asia? 

Join our exclusive Roundtable and find out the answers to these and your own questions.


Kazu Huggler

Kazu Huggler is the founder of her own fashion label KAZU, which is strongly influenced by the Japanese kimono and ancient textile designs as well as traditional Japanese philosophies of dressing. She has repeatedly showcased her artistic and her couture creations in art museums in Japan and Switzerland. In 2021, several works from her TAN collection have been acquired by the Swiss Confederation, Federal Office of Culture. Raised both in Switzerland and Japan, she studied at Tokyo's Keio University and graduated with a degree in Japanese History of Art and Aesthetics. Kazu then enrolled in the Swiss University of Art and Design Hochschule für Gestaltung, and completed her studies at the London's Central Satin Martins College of Art and Design. In London, Kazu apprenticed with Vivienne Westwood.
