Lodon // Paris // LA //
&& Tokyo



Tokyo's on the front , & of course , it has been for a while
but now more than ever Tokyo is lending It's unique styles to fashion worldwide


Everyone knows Gwen Stefani's "Harajuku Lovers" ,, right ?
of course Many feel that Gwen Stefani neutered the one-of-a-kind Tokyo street style. her lines are a weak imitation of the real thing

but nevertheless ,, The Street Style has spread -- - You see it everywhere

HERES THE IDEA
You can break Tokyo Street Style down in two ways -- the first way being by categorizing the different styles by the different shopping areas they are found :
Harajuku, Shibuya, Omotesanda, Daikanyama && Ginza.

Harajuku : consider it a basic element to World Street Fashion. with the bright colors and knee high socks, it's become a lifestyle. Mix it with London's own style && You've got the very Top in fashion

&& Ganguru : Including the valley girl looks ( Fake tans && Bleached hair -- - ew ) && nd even the gothloli style

BUT this doesn't even begin to grasp the true extent of Tokyo Style

another way to break things down is by the Underground approach
Here ya go ~


Salon-kei ,, high street fashion, simple, clean, to the point. Say --- - Modern LA style, kind of that American Apparel touch

Lolita Fashion ,, born in the 80s - there's lots of pink, lots of red, lots of black. It's cute -- - remember Salor Moon ? haaa Yup

Hime-kei ,, PRINCESS STYLE - && That's just it. imagine what a princess would look like , and there, you have it

Goth+Mode ,, there's not much you can really say. Except ,, where it's REALLY un-fashionable in the US of A ,, , it's another statement there

Fairy-kei ,, light, soft, pop && "cute" ~ modern rave apparel modern rave apparel

Onei-kei Fashion ,, SCENE KID but w/ style

Female garcons & butlers ,, the whole simi cross-dressing waiter style ?

Maid style ,, that's says it all. Dress like your a maid and there you go ! ( Oh, but make it look good )

Cosplay ,, Performance. Imagine the 1990s NYC club kids okay ?

Goth-loli // Goth-punk ,, the new trend. It's a mix of high street fashion && Punk ,, plus a unique indie taste


My personal favorites are salon-kei, MAYBE lolita fashion, onei-kei fashion, fairy-kei, goth-loli //goth-punk
and Cosplay is fun too



point being
Tokyo's there and it's not going anywhere
