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.

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
