Japanese Street Style #1

[Avantster]

Yes Luxury, I remember that too - I believe there was a place with a bridge! The name has slipped my mind though..

I'd also like to say a big 'Thank you!' to you Luxury for continuously keeping this thread updated with fresh style arena pictures. You're the best!

Thanks!! Japanese street style is the best! Italians just copy each other. French can only wear designer stuff. English are depressing and dull. Japanese are none of the above imho. ()

And Australians... Well, they don't even make the list at all.

Thank you so, so much for all the great pictures luxury's lap!

Please keep the pictures coming.

What intrigues me most about them is how most of the items are actually following western trends but how they look so different and non-boring on these people!

One Japanese streetwear I particularly like is Takuya Angel. It's looking rather "cosplay" but individual pieces can be mixed and matched with other outfits to look less like costumes. It's heavily influenced by Japanese and Chinese traditional costumes, very Eastern gothic if you like. The only thing that freaks me out is a bit too much of the "nationalism" part, I mean, samurai swords and all that! Otherwise, I love the prints, colours and volume. These pictures are old, circa 2004, but I don't think they have been posted before? Please delete my post if they were. They are all from http://japanesestreet.com

Anyone know anything about these boots?

Hello I am a guy, and I love these boots:

anyone know what they are called or where I can get them?

^ I agree those boots are really cool, but I don't know what they're called, sorry

I've always enjoyed browsing this thread, it's one of my favorites and it's a gem! I love how they blend their clothes together, pieces I usually wouldn't think of pairing together turn out to be pretty cool! These are some photos from web-japan.org, if anyone posted these before sorry about that! And there are some from myspace taken in Harajuku.

Hello I am a guy, and I love these boots:

Hi -

I looked up "(pirate, slouch) ankle" (but without the quote marks) on eBay and found a few results (try searching titles and descriptions; the search I gave gives you auctions with the word ankle and either pirate or slouch). I didn't see any guy boots, but they do have some flat ones, and if you have a small enough shoe size, women's should work. I'm not sure where else you could look.
