IPSILON WEST is a project to discover models from Japan and abroad who aim to beak onto the global fashion scene and connect them with Tokyo and the rest of the world.

As the first step of the project, we held an audition to find “Sporty Models” who have a healthy and sporty mindset in collaboration with the Nagoya Women’s Marathon, the largest women’s marathon in the world. Those selected as “Sporty Models” will not only be featured in the main visual for the Nagoya Women’s Marathon 2024 (to be held in March 2024) but also be introduced to partner corporations, listed as models in a leading modeling agency in Japan, and given professional training that will pave the way for a leap onto the world stage (RUNWAY).

At the Nagoya Women’s Marathon 2024, a health and sports-themed fashion show, “GO WOMEN x GO RUNWAY,” will be held. It will be a great promotional opportunity to attract domestic and international media from the approximately 90-meter runway, which will also serve as the stage for the world’s top athletes’ competition and Japan’s national marathon team trials.
