Hi! My name is Joshua Ryuju Thorson, founder of Ryuju Collective, a fashion brand rooted in sustainability, upcycling, and cultural storytelling through textile art. I’ve been invited to showcase my clothing at the It’s Reich’Art Fashion Show (@itsreichart) in Cannes, France, in May of 2026—an incredible opportunity to bring my vision to an international stage.
This runway show is more than just a presentation—it's a chance to represent independent designers who work outside the traditional fashion system and to share a story of craft, community, and creativity. But to make this happen, I need your help.
- I’m raising $7,500 to cover:
- Fee to Participate in the Runway Show
- Airfare to France
- Accommodations
- Travel & Transportation
- Material and Shipping Costs
Every donation, big or small, brings me closer to the runway. Your support will not only help me show my work to the world, but also amplify a message of slow fashion and artistic integrity in an industry that desperately needs it.
Thank you for believing in independent creators, like myself.
With gratitude,
Joshua Ryuju Thorson
