Tokyo Street Style
Gwen  Stefani was spot-on in her recording “Harajuku Girls.” But it’s not just the streets of Tokyo’s Harajuku district that crawl with “fashion know-it-alls … putting on a show.” The trendsetting looks of young Japanese fashionistas can also be spotted in Tokyo’s shopping and entertainment district Shibuya. The styles definitely turn more conservative in Ginza, known for its upscale shops, but they still project a certain sartorial confidence that typifies young Japanese urbanites. And though urban chic sometimes looks more like hippie freak or total geek, it’s always original and creative. No detail is overlooked, including accessories, which feature the ubiquitous scarf, hot kicks, or the occasional pet. Whether faddish or fashionable, Tokyo street style reflects “a subculture in a kaleidoscope of fashion” (as Gwen would say). No doubt. (in Design Arts > Fashion and Beauty) |
