Japanese Fashions
Quote:
# Background - Japan began to emulate Western fashion during the middle of the 19th century. Later into the 21st century, it altered into what is known as 'Street Fashion' today. - The term 'Street Fashion' is used to describe fashion where the wearer personally customizes the outfits by adopting a mixture of current and traditional trends. Such clothes are generally home-made with the use of material bought from the stores. - At present, there are many styles of dresses in Japan, from a mix of both local and foreign labels. Some of these styles are extreme and avant-garde similar to the haute couture seen on European catwalks. - The rise and fall of many of these trends has been chronicled by Shoichi Aoki since 1997 in the fashion magazine FRUiTS, which is a notable magazine for the promotion of street fashion in Japan. # Modern Japanese fashion Supposedly street fashion has become the most popular trend in Japan today. Great deals of young Japanese wear the outlandish clothes in large urban fashion districts such as Harajuku, Ginza, Odaiba, Shinjuku and Shibuya. * Lolita Spoiler:

What about the punk and American urban fashion? During my week in Tokyo I ran into quite a few pierced-up spikers and even a couple of guys with shaved heads and hoodies. The punk stores were the best. It was a shame that my faddazz wouldn't have fit into anything.
