OSAKA, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar 9, 2026--
KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc. (President: Takashi Nagai) announces that prints produced with its sustainable inkjet textile printer “FOREARTH” were used on garments in the collection presented by fashion brand ANREALAGE at Paris Fashion Week AUTUMN/WINTER 2026-27, held on Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260308819116/en/
The collection comprised 27 looks, 15 of which featured FOREARTH prints. Since its 2024 collection, ANREALAGE has adopted FOREARTH for fabric printing and focused on sustainable printing while pursuing expressions using a wide variety of textiles. By leveraging FOREARTH’s ability to complete the printing process in a short time, ANREALAGE has continued to challenge new forms of expression across diverse materials under a production process unconstrained by the limitations of fabric or technique. This marks the fifth collaboration between Kyocera and ANREALAGE.
Comment from ANREALAGE Designer Kunihiko Morinaga
Through ongoing collaboration with Kyocera, I have come to see FOREARTH not as a technology that limits expression by reducing water use, but as a tool that expands creative possibilities. It has opened up the idea of using printing to reproduce textures and material feels once thought achievable only with water or specific substrates.
Regarding the collection’s emblematic motif—floral patterns without defined outlines—we normally use water to blur edges in a watercolor-like way. This time, we attempted to recreate the bleeding and soft focus long associated with watercolor using a printing process that minimizes water. From a distance, floral outlines emerge; as you approach, those outlines dissolve and the forms become ambiguous. The result is a floral motif that appears and disappears with viewing distance, much like a ghost.
Over the past two and a half years of working with FOREARTH, I feel it has the potential to significantly change the environmental impact of printing technologies, particularly regarding water resources. The intersection of creation, technology, and sustainability is a central theme for ANREALAGE today, and I believe that expanding collaborations with FOREARTH across the fashion industry can be a catalyst for reshaping the future of manufacturing.

Iran launched more attacks on Israel and Gulf countries Monday, hours after Iranian state TV said Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the country’s late supreme leader and long considered a contender, had been named his successor.
Iran’s powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard answers to the supreme leader and the younger Khamenei will have a central say in the war strategy.
Oil prices skyrocketed Monday, leading to more worries that higher energy costs will fuel inflation and lead to less spending by U.S. consumers, the main engine of the economy. Tokyo’s benchmark Nikkei 225 index plunged as much as 7% in early Monday trading, while other Asian markets also tumbled.
Saudi Arabia sharpened its warnings to Iran, telling Tehran Monday it would be the “biggest loser” if it continues to attack Arab states. The Saudi statement came after a new drone attack apparently targeted its massive Shaybah oil field.
Here is the latest:
An Iranian attack Monday on Bahrain sparked a fire apparently at the island kingdom’s sole oil refinery, sending thick plumes of smoke into the air.
Online video purportedly shows the fire at the Sitra refinery.
The state-run Bahrain News Agency later published a report saying “a fire broke out due to the Iranian aggression targeting a facility in Maameer, with material damage but no loss of life.”
Maameer is a Bahraini village adjacent to the refinery.
Bahrain’s government did not immediately identify the refinery itself as being hit, though it has been a target of repeated Iranian attacks since the war began.
The Israeli military claimed strikes Monday on targets in Iran’s city of Isfahan targeting security forces there.
The Israelis described hitting command centers for Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and its all-volunteer Basij force there.
The military also said it hit a rocket engine production facility and missile launch sites.
Iran did not immediately acknowledge the strikes. Iran has not provided any details on its materiel losses since the war started Feb. 28.
A Chinese envoy to the Middle East has called on all sides to stop their military actions and said attacks on non-military targets and civilians should be condemned.
Special Envoy Zhai Jun, meeting in Saudi Arabia with Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, said Sunday that the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of all Gulf countries must not be violated, a Chinese Foreign Ministry statement said.
China is a major importer of oil and natural gas from the region.
Zhai also met Jassim Mohammed al-Budaiwi, the secretary-general of the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Foreign Ministry said.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on Monday warned that a steep rise in fuel prices could rattle the country’s economy and called on officials to accelerate efforts to diversify fuel routes away from the Strait of Hormuz.
Lee spoke at a Cabinet meeting after the country’s stock market opened with an 8% plunge, as concerns grew about how the spiraling war in the Middle East could affect an economy heavily dependent on trade and imported fuel.
Lee called on officials to aggressively use a 100 trillion won ($67 billion) market stabilization fund activated last week to reduce volatility in stock markets and strengthen monitoring of disruptive market activities, such as fuel price collusion or hoarding.
Foreign Minister Cho Hyun said Seoul was also negotiating with Gulf states to find alternative trade routes to reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz, including the possible use of alternative ports in the UAE.
