The legendary vintage fashion event Inspiration Tokyo—originally founded in Los Angeles—will return to Tokyo in 2025. Following last year’s success, the event will once again take place at Ebisu 303 on November 1 (Sat) and November 2 (Sun), bringing together top vintage shops and iconic brands from Japan and around the world.
Launched in 2010 by U.S.-based vintage collector Rintaro Tanaka, Inspiration has become one of the most respected global gatherings for vintage fashion enthusiasts. Each year, it attracts thousands of visitors, including collectors, fashion designers, and style lovers from across the globe—all eager to explore rare vintage pieces and timeless craftsmanship.
The 2025 Tokyo edition will feature Japan’s leading vintage stores such as BerBerJin and JANTIQUES, alongside notable international dealers including Zip Stevenson with Kit and Sugar & Shark Vintage. A special collaborative booth by Wolf’s Head and WACKO MARIA will also showcase a unique fusion of Japanese and American vintage culture.
Over 60 brands and shops are expected to participate, including legendary names like WAREHOUSE, SCHOTT, and WESCO—brands synonymous with classic American denim, leather, and workwear heritage. From rugged jeans and vintage boots to collectible jackets and rare accessories, visitors can expect an inspiring lineup that embodies the true spirit of craftsmanship and authenticity.
Past editions have showcased extraordinary treasures such as 1890s Levi’s 501XX one-pocket jeans, deadstock 1, and even 1920s children’s Levi’s—museum-level pieces that are nearly impossible to find elsewhere. The 2025 event promises another unforgettable curation of rare vintage garments and collectibles.
