Japanese Street Fashion Continues to Put US Hipsters to Shame
30 Apr 2008 Author: Zenon In: Fashion & Style
I recently stumbled across another website about Japanese street fashion and, out of my outrageously long list of bookmarks with the same topic, I must say this is my favorite so far. It’s well organized, frequently updated, and there is a refreshingly low number of Gothic lolita outfits.
HARAJUKU is well-known as fashion Street of Tokyo. A shopping and entertainment district for the young and trendy. HARAJUKU first burst onto the scene in 1964 - the Olympic year. HARAJUKU’s fashion is an extraordinary blend of goods reflecting the Japanese notions of “cute”, “cool and American” and “rebellious and British”. In other words a strange mixture of Hello Kitty, Disney, hip-hop and the infamous British punk and fancy dresses.
