Kuromi x form forma: “Kawaii Formal Wear” Collaboration Launched!
Sanrio’s immensely popular character, Kuromi, is stepping into the world of fashion with a brand-new collaboration!

This unique line, blending cute aesthetics with elegant design, is set to launch on October 17, 2025.

Embracing Individuality in Formal Attire
In recent years, the fashion landscape for Generation Z has seen a significant shift, placing strong emphasis on personal expression. “Does it suit me?” and “Does it reflect my individuality?” are the guiding questions for today’s youth. This evolving value system extends even to formal wear. Gone are the days of simply wearing what’s dictated; there’s a growing desire to express one’s unique personality and style while still respecting the Time, Place, and Occasion (TPO).
This new “kawaii formal wear” collection, born from the Kuromi collaboration, is a direct response to these modern market demands. Moririn expertly connected Sanrio’s beloved Kuromi, a character celebrated for her edgy yet adorable charm and massive popularity among Gen Z, with Toukyou Soir, a leading name in formal apparel. The result is an innovative line of formal wear that truly stands out.
The “kawaii formal wear” collection perfectly marries Kuromi’s distinctively cute world with the undeniable sophistication and “properness” of formal attire. This thoughtful design ensures wearers can express their authentic selves alongside their favorite character, whether for solemn occasions or for a touch of everyday chic.
