Today, Tokyo, like London and New York, is a global trendsetter. Japanese fashion without rules and boundaries is swift and merciless. Every year, Kenzo and Yamamoto present their avant-garde collections to fashion critics. Such famous designers and fashion designers as Mihara Yasuhiro, Junia Watanabe and Yohji Yamamoto create in this country. They are inspired by the images created by the Japanese youth, who use any available means to stand out from the crowd. And street fashion is even more shocking than the collections of fashion houses. This is especially true for metropolitan areas.
Japanese street fashion is expressed in putting on a maximum of things or an anime character costume, changing the skin color to dark brown or Europeanizing your face with the help of cosmetics. At every step there is a mixture of European and Japanese styles - "yofuu" and "wafuu". And it does not matter the origin of the outfit: expensive branded clothes bought in second-hand or sewn by yourself. The main thing is that the outfit should be bright, catchy and memorable for a long time.
Japanese fashion is distinguished by the style of Fruits, and in another way - "fruit fever" due to the variety of colors and images. And the mods themselves are called harayuku or harajuku. Fashion in Japan hasa large number of trends, among which Lolita, Gotloli (Gothic Lolita), Kogal, Gyaru, Wamono, Otaku, Second-hand fashion, Ganguro and Cyber fashion stand out. The most famous style is Lolita. It was based on the fashion of the Rococo era with its many details and excessive pretentiousness. Lolita girls wear puffy dresses or knee-length skirts and white tights or stockings. Japanese youth fashion also has a gothic version of Lolita, where the style is the same, but black prevails.
Gyaru's outfit resembles a European Barbie with blond hair and a pink wardrobe. So Japanese girls strive to be like Western pop singers. The visual kei look is a combination of punk, glam rock and metal. The clothes are dominated by black leather with a lot of metal elements. And make-up should be bright.
Otaku style youth dress up as their favorite anime and manga characters. Most often, this style is chosen by older students and younger students. A popular hangout for these youngsters is Japan's Harajuku district, where they meet on Sundays to show off their new outfits, go shopping, or discuss the latest news.
Japanese fashion has no age or gender restrictions. Therefore, you can meet a lady of venerable age with bright makeup and in the same bright clothes without the possibility of determining the sex or in a schoolgirl costume. For Japanese streets and cities, this appearance isnorm.
Characterized by Japanese fashion and the popularity of bulky things in large sizes. The Japanese are happy to wear jackets, coats and denim sweaters. Kimonos are also a favorite fashion item. Fashionistas prefer silk kimonos painted with flowers. This outfit is usually complemented by a handbag with a sakura branch. Hair color - pink or bright green - is also a favorite feature of fashionistas.
Of course, it cannot be said that in Japan only everyone who follows fashion trends has a catchy and shocking look. Japan is a world famous business center that occupies the first positions in engineering, scientific and medical technologies. And in the center of Tokyo, you can always find young boys and girls dressed moderately and tastefully in Western brands.
