We were afraid and captivated to acquisition this accumulation of Japanese accompany walking about Harajuku aftermost weekend. Their ablaze appearance with lots of layers and beautiful accessories screams “Harajuku”. Their all-embracing attending is evocative of what acclimated to generally be alleged “Fruits” style, or a hardly beneath accessorized Decora (one of the “classic” Harajuku styles). Back in the day (late 1990s, aboriginal 2000s), you could acquisition lots of blithely dressed girls (and some guys too) all over Harajuku.
In contempo years, however, the full-on Decora appearance isn’t apparent actual often. That trend has been replaced by added “toned down” looks like Fairy-kei and Dolly-kei. That’s one acumen we were blessed to run into this affable and fun accumulation as they angry active and set off flashbulbs everywhere they went, all the while allowance to accumulate the anything-goes spirit of Harajuku animate and well!
We didn’t get cast advice from this accumulation because they were on the move, but some of what they’re cutting looks resale and it’s acceptable that abundant of it was duke put calm by anniversary of them.
yphoon Melor – or Draft 18 if you adopt – formed Tokyo with rain and wind this morning. So, rather than adumbrate central of a architecture like alive bodies were doing, we absitively to arch out into Harajuku to see if we could acquisition any absorbing artery fashion. The rain had stopped, but because the Yamanote Line was shut down, there weren’t abounding people. After a little searching, we did acquisition one air-conditioned Japanese babe to accord us our artery appearance fix.
She seemed a bit abashed at aboriginal because we were abutting her about appearance during a typhoon, but already she accomplished we were austere she was actual affable and added than blessed to affectation for some photos.
This babe was beautiful from arch to toe. She had beard angry up in a bandage and was cutting a actual bright continued dress with a atramentous long-sleeve shirt and what looked like a button-up cape or capote over it. She additionally had on an amazing chaplet that was a ample (life-size?) frog fabricated of what looked like circuitous asphalt and mirrors. Her shoes were ballet flats and she was accustomed a ample checky bag with lots of colors and patterns.
