Maybe it's just me, but I love it and I give them props for not caring about what other people think. Besides, Gwen Stefani has alot to learn. I can't think of anyone elese who can pull that off, but they do it so nicely... :heart:

I guess, if you love every other thing that influences them every week.

[Sylvie]

I like the Japan Fashion. Its just different, and its quite funny sometimes.

[Chris]

I think it's absolutely horrible. xD

[Mirage]

This one was cool (http://static.flickr.com/15/21303191_798aa939ff.jpg), but the rest was FOUR SKULLS OF DEAD HUMANS :p.

ETERNAL LOVE :love:

man! I just love the way the dress, specially the BABES ;P

american babes dress all................slutty, I don't know, not all, but dressing like Britney Spears/Jessica Simpson/Christina Aguilera is pathetic. And those tight jeans are overrated.

PS: I really like the japanese attitude towards clothes, they look at you and just stare, they don't laugh at you in a malicious way, they're cool with anything. In America, you dress DIFFERENT than everybody else and they WRITE a book 'bout it.

[Mirage]

Man, aren't we a japanophile :p.
I think these images represent a small minority. Japanese youths in general try to look as western as possible. That's my impression anyway.

That's true. They even prefer that you call them by their "Western name". My friend Jeong prefers her "Western Name".

:(

Funny, you like LABELING yourself, go for it.

Oh! I know, still, they really don't care how you dress, for the most part at least, so that's a plus for them. And as far as I know those who try to dress western like are the 25+ group, but anyway, it really doesn't matter.

[Zeromus_X]

Japan had/has a very trend-based culture. (Examples include absorbing Chinese culture and basing fashion off of different things every week.) I don't really care about fashion, so I don't really care that much either way. I suppose it looks okay.

[DK]

Some of it looked pretty nice, some of it was stupid. I don't care about what other people wear or their style, though. I wear what works for me.

[Resha]

My friend likes it -- I don't much care. I like to see a bit of individuality around, but heck, in a little while it'll become a trend and then it won't be individual anymore and then it'll just be boring and annoying and tacky. I think there's a name for that Japanese street fashion stuff -- starts with a 'd', but I forgot.

[Shoeberto]

Yeah, a lot of the street fashion is truly terrible. But oh well.

[Venom]

I dont pay attention to fashion.

[Zeldy]

I LOVE their fashion

[~SapphireStar~]

I love how the Japanese teens dress, they dont care what others think about them and wear whatever they please. You couldnt do that here in England, you would be automatically labelled as some freak. Sigh, they do have some great fashion sense, so in your face!

By far the coolest up there!

[fire_of_avalon]

So basically the idea is to put on as much crap as I possibly can fit on me?

No thanks. Sunday is lazy day for me. I chill.

[kidney / theif]

True, but I like playing dress-up.

Well its somewhat "different", thats all I can say.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

[Shlup]

They look like the 80's vomited on them. I like it.

[escobert]

I'll stick to my jeans, white T, timbs, and my hat.

[Chaos]

I think its kinda cute. No-one would be able to get away with wearnig that in England though. Hehe.

foa speaks truth. There are some days my co workers are lucky I brushed my hair much less put on 50 barrettes and 3 pairs of socks...
Japan's fashion isn't for me, but whatever blows your skirt up....

Thank you! :) :cat:

[~SapphireStar~]

Yeah but they have the balls in Japan to dress like that. Ive never seen anyone wear anything outrageous like that in Manchester and we have Afflecks Palace, that sell outfits like that. I think we're scared of getting the crap kicked out of us for expressing oursleves. Yeah Japan has its violence also, so dont say "But people get the crap kicked out of them in Japan too." I know that might happen, but in the UK its like your not allowed to be too loud with what you wear. Well thats how it feels in Manchester and Bradford, its 90% chavs and 10% whatever.

[black orb]

>>> Teens suck, I like more their traditional clothing..

see, much better..

[Zeromus_X]

I would agree to that.

[*ETERNAL FANTASY*]

My friend went to japan and told me its only a minority that only do that...they're called harajuku girls i think

besides i wouldnt mind taking a photo with those girls...:D

[Miriel]

I think it's ridiculous.

[~SapphireStar~]

The traditional clothing is something to expect from Japan, like Kimono or qípáo (hope thats right). Fashion like this is different and IMO more eye cathcing. But thats just my opinion.

[Tainted Angel]

The OP at least looks weird, I've seen pics of Gangrou (sp?) where the girls looks like a Spears/Rich Hick Girl.

Put me on the streets of Toyko and I might go homicidial with my fists.

So yes, they need to learn about REAL style. That or get a revivalist movement going. ASAP.

[kidney / theif]

Yeah, but you can't hate them for doing their own thing. What's so bad about that?

[~SapphireStar~]

QFT.

Define real style? People have different tastes in fashion. They may think you need to lean real style from the way you dress. Dont be so quick to judge others who dont share the same dress sense as yourself.

[StarChild]

It's cool, kind of disturbing, but cool ^__^ I'm going to start dressing like that.

[Mr. Graves]

How outlandish and freakingn weird. x_x

[Anaisa]

I like it. I think it's far more interesting to look at then the outfits people are wearing here. I get sick of the sight of some of the clothing here, because sometimes you can go out an see virtually every woman wearing practically the same outfit. Although I don't know whether the fashion there has much variation either, since I've only seen pictures.

[BatChao]

These look like they are from some cosplay or costume convention thingy since everyone in the background is also wearing weirdo outfits (except that one with the rabbit girls - that looks like it's out of a magazine). I doubt people dress like that on the street.

[black orb]

>>> They gather on the streets, I think the place is called Harajuku..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harajuku

[Dreddz]

Imagine how long it takes for them to change into that....

[41-Inches-Wide]

Their parents must be wealthy. :S

[Momiji]

Personally I think it's pretty cool. I mean, here in the US it seems every girl conforms to the same style of the week, then it changes. I just can't see how long it would take to put all that stuff on, let alone be comfortable in it.

[kidney / theif]

Personally I think it's pretty cool. I mean, here in the US it seems every girl conforms to the same style of the week, then it changes.

And some of it is pretty nasty, too. :mad:

[Necronopticous]

The streets of Akihabara are not quite "the streets."

[Shiny]

I think it's ridiculous.
Me too. They add all these mismatch things that doesn't really go well together at all. Oh well, atleast some of it is brightly colored...cherry I suppose.

EDIT: I meant cheery. It's been a long day.

[DarknessFromAbove]

I LOVE japanese fasion. The more ridiculous, the better ^_^ I wish I could dress that way here, if even for just once in a while, but I would be stoned to death . . .

[FallenAngel411]

It looks a little strange to me, but I think it would be fun to dress that way every once in a while. :love: You know, if I was sure I wouldn't get my ass kicked for it. :eep:

[kidney / theif]

Yeah, people are so afraid to be different.

[Devourment]

Some of it is weird, but I think overall there's nothing that bad about it. I mean, yeah, in a way it's a good thing that they dress how they want & not care about it, but I think it fits in with modern day Japan, so that's why they do it.

Some of it is a little over the top though. :eep:

[eden knight]

Japanese fashion's strange.Sometimes like it,some other not.But yeah,their traditional clothing is cool,i like it a lot.

[Moon Rabbits]

It's just as much a minority there as it is here, I'd assume. I like it, in fact I wouldn't mind some of the outfits I've seen (even some of the female ones :D). Tsh, but that'd get even more things yelled at me from cars.

[G SpOtZ]

Fashion? You call that fashion?


Japan does not mix with fashion. =]

Odd picture there. Kind of cool though but only in a sexy way.

That looks more out of place than most of the "street" fashion imho.

Edit: also, Hard Gay fashion > *

It's not very sexy either....

[DK]

I dunno, I quite like it. It's just more likely to make me think "wtf" if I saw it in town over the "street" stuff.

[kidney / theif]

I think their traditional clothing is boring. :cry:
