Youth Culture...Street Style
Personally, I do like the new street style. It's very creative, glitzy and just colorful. The new style has a long history behind it. Ever asked yourself how these styles came up to existence?
Well nowadays, you see youngsters wearing torn jeans of different washes, plaid-flowers-tartan skirts, pantyhoses worn with socks, golden cinderella flat shoes, scrunchies as hair bands, and vintage t-shirts that say "wanna lick my breasts"? Not to forget the 80's style DMC glasses. Most of whats in the closet are worn in one-go. Just throw hoola hoop earings and 10 neck chains of different colors and voila! You got the new FUNKED up style.
Last fashion season people were obsessed with Indian style attire--sari's tailored as tops or handbags etc etc.
This season people are obsessed.. not only with Japanese products ..but obsessed with being & looking like Japanese as a whole! lol that just cracks me up.
Cocue skirts
Tabio socks (from Japanese word tabi, meaning split-toe socks)
Eating sushi
Shu Uemura make up (to turn u into Japanese "Memoirs of a Geisha" style)
Monkey Business (created by Japanese designer called Nigo)
...and the lovely Hello Kitty
Now, how many of you out there purchased at least 2 of these products? I know I did ;p
I think dressing up is an art. One who comes up with new styles and not someone who just copy-cats the latest trend. Being compulsive obsessive about it is a no-no. I know I bought maybe 2 or 3 Japanese products, but I never wore or used all of them at once.
I bet next season's style will be the "peasant look" ;p
Anyway, the best Japanese fashion label for me is Tabio. It's like the best thing created since sliced bread! ;p
Seyounara people! ;)
