Fukuoka Asia Collection, a group organized to promote the region as an Asian fashion center that includes as its members the Fukuoka Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Fukuoka City and Prefecture, and area clothing merchants, will open a section for clothing sales on the Internet shopping site operated by Rakuten in September. The group attracted area attention by holding a fashion show in March that featured well-known models wearing local clothing brands. They hope their section on the Rakuten website will increase interest in their event next March.
