About La Fondue Tokyo

La Fondue Tokyo is a brand new kind of party representing the diverse Tokyo underground scene. A melting pot of fashion, music, food and art, we aim to spread the artistic scene from Tokyo to the rest of the world. Our first party took place on Saturday, January 13th at Wall & Wall, located in Omotesando. My team and I wanted to create an opportunity for creative individuals in and out of Tokyo to experience new kinds of fashion, music and art that represent the underground scene here in the city. Also, we wanted to make sure this party took place at a reasonable hour so that people of all ages can participate (Tokyo-ites are accustomed to partying until 5 am or later). The result was a diverse crowd of people enjoying the various fashion pop-up booths, food, and of course, a variety of music performances including DJs and vocalists.

「La Fondue Tokyo」とは、東京のインターナショナルなアンダーグラウンドシーンから生まれたイベント。 音楽だけでなく、ファッション、映像、あらゆるアートを組み込み、東京から海外へも発信されていく新しいコンセプトのパーティーです。第一回のLa Fondueは1月13日土曜日、表参道のWall & Wallにて開催されました。私のチームは、クリエイティブでファッショナブルな人が集まることのできる場を作りたい、東京のアンダーグラウンドを代表するファッションや音楽、アートなどをもっと沢山に人に知ってもらいたい、そういう思いからスタートしました。そして、他のクラブイベントとは違って、年齢問わず来てもらえるような夕方の時間帯に設定するのもポイントでした。結果、とてもインターナショナルな客層が集まり、ポップアップやフード、そしてもちろん音楽のパフォーマンスを楽しんでもらうことができました。

And the turnout?

It was crazy how many people showed up and genuinely enjoyed La Fondue Tokyo. Truthfully, my team had only a little over a month to plan everything for the party, including a name, event concept, logo, flyers, guest performers, food vendors, and brands that would be willing to do pop-up. With the help and support of so many friends and colleagues, everything fell into place, resulting in a very successful first party. The whole process of planning a big event was a great learning experience for me, and I can’t wait to do it again. And I simply couldn’t have done it without the La Fondue family.

ここまでの人数の人が集まってくれるとは正直思ってなかったので、本当に嬉しかったです。この第一回のLa Fondueを計画するのに一ヶ月ちょっとしかなかったので、最初はどうなるか心配でしたが、沢山の方々の支えがあり、大成功のパーティーになりました。イベントプロデュースと企画をするのは初めてだったので、沢山のことを学ぶことができ、感謝しています。もちろん、La Fondueチームに大感謝!!
