Today, Tokyo, like London and New York, is a trendsetter in world fashion. Japanese fashion without rules and boundaries is swift and merciless. Every year, Kenzo and Yamamoto present their avant-garde collections to fashion critics. Famous designers and fashion designers such as Mihara Yasuhiro, Junia Watanabe and Yohji Yamamoto create in this country. They are inspired by the images created by Japanese youth, who use any available means to stand out from the crowd. And street fashion is even more shocking than collections of fashion houses. This is especially true for megacities.
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 cosmetics. At every step there is a mixture of European and Japanese styles - “yofuu” and “wafuu”. And the origin of the outfit does not matter: expensive branded clothing bought in a second hand or sewn independently. The main thing is that the outfit should be bright, catchy and remembered for a long time.
Japanese fashion is different in 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 has a large number of directions, among which Lolita, Gotloli (Gothic Lolita), Kogal, Gyaru, Vamono, 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 fluffy dresses or skirts to the knee and white tights or knee-highs. Japanese youth fashion has a Gothic version of Lolita, where the style is the same, but black is predominant.
The outfit in Gyaru style 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 mix of punk, glam rock and metal. The clothing is dominated by black leather with a large number of metal elements. A make-up should be bright.
Young people who prefer the Otaku style dress like their favorite anime and manga characters. Most often, this style is chosen by older students and younger students. A popular place among these young people is the Harajuku district of Japan, 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 a bright make-up and in the same bright clothes without the possibility of determining sex or in a schoolgirl costume. For Japanese streets and cities, such an appearance is the norm.
Japanese fashion is also characterized by the popularity of large bulk items. The Japanese are happy to wear jackets, coats and denim sweaters. Kimono is also a favorite fashionable outfit. Fashionistas prefer silk kimonos painted with flowers. This outfit is usually supplemented with a bag 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, which occupies the first position in engineering, scientific and medical technologies. And in the center of Tokyo you can always meet young guys and girls dressed moderately and tastefully in the clothes of Western brands.
