Lately, I have been breathing in Japanese street fashion, by visiting the Japanese blogs!
The rumour is TRUE, Japanese street fashion IS crazy!
I have not been to Japan myself, but I have heard so much good praises about their street fashion scenes are eccentric! I totally agree!
I have only two words to describe Japanese street fashion :
WEIRD & ABSURD, which is a good thing! Because, because of them, it makes fashion a lot more livelier and fun! Fashion is NOT just about how right/perfect, things get together. It can also mean, how wrong things get mashed up together to create the unique fashion, which is only available in Japan!
I made a studies, and found out that, there are about 5 major elements one must adopt, in order to dress like them :-
1) You must have NO colour-sense!
Non-complementing colour contrasts, the ugliest the contrast, the better the effect!
2) Funny hair-cut
Regardless whether it (the haircut) suits your face shape or not, the priority is, DARE to be different!
It seems to me, we are compromising beauty with DARE to be different!
3) Funny colorful McDonald shoes! The bigger the better!
I am a shoes lover, and I have difficulty finding a picture featuring a pair of beautiful heels / sneaks!
4) Super Layering!
The more layers you wear, the better it is! The objective it to create "Christmas Tree" feel!
5) There is NO-RULE on the entire streets of Japan!
The silhouette is to achieve a non-proportionate fashion sense! Table-cloth to match with Hermes scarves, or layer with cheap stockings and lots of rugs!
Here are the classic examples:-
Do you agree with me? :)
