Form Forma Enters Gunma with a New Formal Wear Store
The formal wear brand
Form Forma, operated by
Tokyo Soir Co., Ltd., is set to make its debut in
Gunma Prefecture with the opening of its latest store in
Takasaki at
Aeon Mall Takasaki on
July 17, 2026. This exciting launch comes as a response to the vibrant cultural and musical scene in Gunma, aiming to make formal attire more accessible to the local community.
The Significance of the Store Opening
As Gunma's largest commercial city, Takasaki is not only thriving economically but has also become a desirable destination for residents moving from the Tokyo area. According to recent census data, Takasaki is projected to have
169,000 households by 2025, marking an increase of
2,600 households over the past five years. The rise in population is attributed to supportive measures for families, such as the provision of free medical care for children up to 18 years and relocation subsidies for new families moving from Tokyo. This has made Takasaki an attractive option for families seeking a nurturing environment.
Moreover, Gunma is renowned for its rich cultural activities. Reports indicate that
148 orchestral performances are held annually, ranking Gunma second in Japan for performance frequency per capita. The
Gunma Symphony Orchestra alone attracts over
120,000 attendees each year, fostering a community that values concert-going and cultural events.
Despite the high demand for formal attire in various life events—such as weddings, graduations, or concerts—there remains a scarcity of specialized stores that cater to this need. The new
Form Forma store aims to fill this gap by offering a comprehensive range of formal wear, including black formal attire, ceremonial suits, party dresses, and related accessories, all in one convenient location.
Unique Features of Form Forma Takasaki Store
The
store's design reflects the artistic spirit of Gunma, featuring an extensive selection of stage dresses and long gowns to cater to performers preparing for concerts or recitals. Customers will have the opportunity to try on various outfits in a comfortable setting, ensuring they find the perfect match for their special occasion.
With this opening,
Form Forma’s direct store network will expand to
36 locations nationwide. This strategic move enhances its presence across the Kanto region, positioning it as a key player in providing formal attire that meets the diverse needs of local customers at different life stages.
Family-Friendly Shopping Experience
The Takasaki store ensures an accommodating shopping experience, boasting approximately 36 tsubo of retail space—ranked third in the Kanto region. It features spacious fitting rooms accessible for those accompanied by children in strollers, allowing families to shop comfortably.
Staying true to the needs of local families, the store offers a wide array of formal wear suitable for various life milestones including coming-of-age ceremonies, entrance and graduation ceremonies, Shichi-Go-San celebrations, weddings, and funerals, further enhancing the shopping experience for families in Takasaki.
Dress Selections for Concerts and Events
The store is also dedicated to providing a rich selection of dresses for concert-goers and attendees of theatrical performances. This ensures that everyone can find outfits suitable not only for personal milestones but also for enjoying cultural events in the area.

July 17 to August 2, all merchandise will be available at a
10% discount, with select opening special items up to
