Fashion designer Junko Koshino is Italy Pavilion Ambassador - Arts Culture and Style. She is also a Senior Advisor of Expo 2025 Osaka and was one of the first Japanese figures to have accepted the role.
"I would like to make my contribution to further deepening the cultural exchange between Italy and Japan through fashion and design," says Junko. She presented her collections at Paris Fashion Week for 22 years from 1978. Her talent also earned her many awards in Italy and gave life to some memorable creations, including costumes for Puccini's Madama Butterfly.
