UVO Shines at Rakuten GirlsAward 2025
On May 3, 2025, the UVO umbrella brand, part of World Party Inc. based in Osaka, marked its debut at the prestigious Rakuten GirlsAward 2025 SPRING/SUMMER held at the National Yoyogi Stadium. This fashion and music event, renowned for revealing the latest trends twice a year, was a perfect platform for UVO to introduce itself to a young audience keen on combining style with sun protection.
The growing recognition of the importance of UV protection has transformed umbrellas from mere sunshades into essential summer accessories and fashion statements. UVO, with its commitment to high-functionality, stylish design, and trendsetting capabilities, aimed to reach the younger demographic by participating in this highly anticipated event. Their booth attracted around 3,000 visitors, showcasing UVO's image character, Airi Suzuki, whose striking visuals contributed to the booth's appeal. Attendees had the opportunity to experience UVO's new and popular products and learn about the high specifications behind the brand's offerings.
Moreover, the booth featured an engaging capsule toy lottery where participants could win the floral mini umbrella, prompting excitement and praise from visitors. Many expressed their enthusiasm, saying, 'I love the designs!' and 'I want to try UVO!' This response indicated that visitors were receptive to UVO's brand ethos and aesthetic.
