Creative Growth Launching in Japan at CityShop!

Our Creative Growth x 6397 collaboration pieces are dropping in Japan on June 18.

For the first time, Creative Growth fashions will be available in Japan through our collaboration with CITYSHOP. After an amazing Beyond Trend 2026, this collaboration just continues to grow how the world can find and wear the couture artistry of Creative Growth artists. Thank you to CITYSHOP, Stella Ishii, and the entire 6397 team for helping bring the work of Creative Growth artists to Japan.

Join CITYSHOP’s Instagram Live on June 17 at 8:15 PM JST for a closer look at the collection before launch. Experience the garments and shop in-person at CITYSHOP Shibuya.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make Beyond Trend 2026 such an extraordinary success.

To our artists, families, caregivers, staff, volunteers, sponsors, donors, hosts, and community supporters—thank you for your creativity, generosity, enthusiasm, and belief in Creative Growth.

Beyond Trend is about more than fashion. It’s a celebration of self-expression, artistic freedom, and radical self-love. As Creative Growth artists like to say, “Fashion is the sunshine that spotlights everyone.”

On Saturday night, that sunshine was everywhere.

Thank you for helping us celebrate our artists and support the creative lives and careers they deserve. ✨

“It’s magic, it’s the unknown part.”

That feeling is why Franna Lusson is always pulled towards wildlife and wants to capture it on paper.

Naturally, it just made sense that Franna was invited to illustrate the Wood Stork for the ’s conservation series. Learn more about Franna and her feature in their latest winter magazine edition at the link in our bio.

This is what December at Creative Growth looks like: a bright and happy time 🎶

We’ll be carrying this joy into a short and festive break for the holidays.

Our gallery will be closed from now through January 6th, 2025 to rest and recharge.

We’ll be back so soon. The gallery reopens January 7, 2026. 🤘
