Stumbled across this site: http://www.style-arena.jp/english/index.htm

Oh you bastard... I LOVE how these girls dress- it's sooooo cool and trendy! Lots of my friends have accused me of looking at how a girl dresses rather than how a girl looks, leading me to call a girl beautiful when she in fact is not. I don't know what the hell they are talking about. I hope that one day, when I get a gf, that she can dress like that (well it really doesn't matter, but it would a very stylish plus to have).

it's weird how the trendy ones in japan seem to dress in similar styles as those in soho. like i can spot a japanese person like that based on their clothing style.

Re: Tokyo Street Fashion
 

interesting to see how different neighborhoods
have people dressing similarily.

all the layering makes some of them look like
homeless people.

fashion is fun.

Harajuku...I heard that term in old Gwen Stefani and Eve's latest "collaboration." Eve busts her flow and uses the term.

Re: Tokyo Street Fashion
 

you see some of the same style here in los angeles. cool

Re: Tokyo Street Fashion
 

oh totally...the same in london, particularly the trendy parts of south/east london...i think the way they dress is really cool as its so different to other styles of dress, very distinctive..thing is though no one other than Japanese people appear to be able to carry it off..ive seen some people (other races) try and it aint pretty :rolleyes:

I've always been more partial to the entire HK fashion scene in terms of hair and style, tho undoubtedly the tokyo brand has some kickass themes. However, the entire...what is it...kogyaru is it? The entire kogyaru fashion sense just makes me want to scoop out my own eyeballs. Why anyone would want to color themselves so that they look like heathcliff is beyond me.

niiiiice...

Kogyaru boom is over, its old, that was late 90s. Near the end those girls became very Yamamba to extreme colors. Then it became watered down to common "gyaru-kei" as its known now, theres even a few of those girl's boyfriends that also dress in gyaru-kei, they walk around together at the mall. But its mostly people who just graduated from high school and become freeters that do that these days.

What became really big now is B-kei. Many people are dressing like it..

Re: Tokyo Street Fashion
 

i like it. its a refreshing and interesting change from the stuff over here

Re: Tokyo Street Fashion
 

Well in those obvious cases pretty much, yah :wink:

But have you seen those people who dress in Uniqlo stuff? That looks like Gap to me. Then you couldnt tell in that case.

Re: Tokyo Street Fashion
 

crikey, so much for me keeping up with japanese street fashion. That's some weird stuff, btw.

Re: Tokyo Street Fashion
 

No prob. But I dont think its "wierd" at all. I think its really cool, its like creative recycling. Like they take something from before, and then re-interpret into something else that suits them :wink:

Heres a thread I started a while back on Japanese Street Fashion and Style.

For those that are really into it, theres so many style categories, I cant keep up either. My friend works at a mens clothing store and they have this special lingo they use. Like Kirei-kaji, Ame-kaji, etc.. even Jigoro style. Like when Im not doing the B-kei thing, I also sometimes like Jigoro, but my girl says I look like typical chimpira. Like , whats wrong with white pointy leather boots, narrow white jeans with rips, and an open unbuttoned black shirt that shows off your chest and gold necklaces :rolleyes:

I took another look and it's not as weird as i thought; the first time the first picture that loaded looked like a bright magenta poncho/turtleneck and that was kinda strange looking but the rest does look pretty classy/edgy. Now I just need to learn all that random terminology you keep throwing around and I'd be SET. AME-KAJI, BIYATCHES!!!
