The Tokyo Girls Collection (東京ガールズコレクション, Tōkyō Gāruzu Korekushon), sometimes abbreviated as TGC, is a semiannual fashion festival launched in 2005.
The concept of TGC was an event displaying the wish and prayer for continued growth, prosperity and developments in Asia, mainly in Japan after the world war.
Recently, as of 2012, actress Yumiko Shaku walked in the Spring-Summer TGC show as the muse for gyaru fashion brand "Rady" by Shizuka Mutoh, a model known for appearing in the Koakuma Ageha magazine.
The event is open not only to buyers and journalists, but also to the general public[6] and incorporates live concerts by well-known artists, charity auctions as well as the Miss TGC Contest.
[7] The event is planned and sponsored by Branding Inc. (which runs girlswalker.com and fashionwalker.com) and the outfits donned by the models are made available for purchase on the spot through Fashionwalker's mobile site.
