Tokyo is one of the undisputed, and at times utterly disregarded, fashion capitals of the world. While Japanese fashion appears to march down the runway to its own beat -- it is distinctive and unique nonetheless.
Harajuku fashion -- named for the Harajuku district of Tokyo -- is nothing short of fun, hip and diverse.

Gothic Lolita
Gothic Lolita (known in Japan as Gothloli) is a mixture of the Gothic and Lolita fashion.
The origins of the Japanese Gothic style can be traced back to the English New Wave
Movement during the 1980s: however, the Japanese Gothic scene is fundamentally different than
the Gothic subcultures of the west. This Gothic fashion has been adopted into the Lolita fashion
through the use of darker make up, clothing, and themes in the design.

Gyaru (ギャル, Gyaru) is a Japanese transliteration of the English word gal. The name originated from a 1970s brand of jeans called "gals", with the advertising slogan: "I can't live without men", and was applied to fashion- and peer-conscious girls in their teens and early twenties. Its usage peaked in the 1980s and has gradually declined.

I'm not sure if it is one of those little tube testers or just a card-type sample.

I have to admit: I didn't really expect to see Gwen Stefani live. My Boyfriend bought lawn seats to this show on accident - he got click happy when hustling to get Bjork Tickets.
So when we got there (late) we already missed Lady Sovereign and Akon, who I really wanted to see, mostly to find out what all the fuss is about.

I sense that the look I selected for the next competition isn't being received with enthusiasm.
So to help you ladies out, I did decided to put some examples of Japanese Street Fashion up and hopefully that inspires you all to do some research and put some really great lists together. I was hoping to have to toss and turn over my decisions...but so far only one person has entered.

Steal This Look
Will a wave of piracy lawsuits bring down Forever 21?
By Jeff Koyen
FAUSTIAN BARGAINS With God on their side (and a few unwilling designers), Forever 21 has quadrupled in size since 2001 (Photo: Getty Images) Not too long ago, a down-market clothier could sell cheap runway knockoffs for pennies on the dollar and no one cried foul. After all, major fashion designers didn't exactly lose customers when suburban day-trippers picked up "Channel" clutches on Canal Street.
