Since 2015, the affiliated NPO "DEAR ME" has held a total of 9 fashion shows in the Philippines under the theme of "dream your dreams". Many of the students who attend the current school "coxco Lab" have performed in previous shows. This "upcycle art" is a project in which Filipino children who participated in a fashion show draw art on the theme of "dream" and embroider it into coxco products to upcycle their clothes. A total of 6 types of art are developed, and for each embroidery, a drawing set is delivered to one student of the school "coxco Lab".
