VNの歴史
History Establishes Trust

VNの歴史 History Establishes Trust

Amid the fiery history of 1944, Sumie Hirano founded the Wayou Saiju Juku, in order to offer the necessary skills for the coming era of peace.
In the more than 70 years since then Vision Next has established itself as a well-loved fashion, IT, and design school.

Creator and Founder Sumie Hirano

While working at Mitsukoshi, she realized the importance of fashion education, so she opened a school during the war era. Immediately after the end of the war, she went to Europe to study fashion education. After her studies in Paris, she returned to Japan, where she created the first local fashion show and searched for various expressions of beauty.
Her legacy and vision of learning useful knowledge and techniques through hands-on experience continues to live on through the staff at Vision Next.
