I think he should incorporate more of the Harajuku look to his clothes because they look kind of plain, nothing really special about them. I can understand that he wanted it to be toned down, but he toned it down WAAAAYYY too much it doesn't even look remotely inspired by the Harajuku fashion smh....O well at least he tried you guys
....i honestly dont see much relation between his designs and the harajuku fashion...just because they're both wearing leggings doesnt mean that one is an inspiration of the other. x.x'
I appreciate that he likes their style...but he focused on the least interesting aspects of their outfits to be inspired by! Like that 2:13...what about focusing on the super-bright saturated and pastel colors, the hair ornaments, or the mixture of patterns! his designs are so watered-down that they end up looking like boring western casual clothing! what's the point?
wow did they just try to find the oldest fruits scans they could or what? that guy's clothing line is hysterically bad, i thought it was a joke at first. :| and half of the ~harajuku style~ that they showed is visual kei cosplay.
@BLOODBATHDAVID i realize that this video was from 2006, but the styles had still changed a lot from what they're showing in the video. i recognize some of the pictures from old-ass fruits magazines. and, i meant cosplaying guys from visual kei bands.
@wickedlady4180 actually tokyo itself is a metropolis, made up of many cities. the actualy 'tokyo' is only one train stop. so, technically, it could be called a city.
You are your best stylist, I do exactly what she said at the end of the video really. I just sling stuff together and it works. Accesories are the key too. And customisation! :DDD
Harajuku is waaaay more better&clever style than any lame_azz_boring European (which is mostly mass produced) style...I M from Europa and I know what Im talkin about...
There is only few brave designers who like to experiment..everything else is like this faggot on video who is like "Im pierced, I dont know what am i doing but its sooo awesome..and I lived in japan." so fckn what..He still design craPijamas of garment...the only smart thing in video is line from this "skip_lunch" hostes on 2:36
It's like these people have pioneered this fashion, as a movement, and an attitude in order to break from a traditional society. Now it's being ripped off and mass marketed by some di ck head for people who haven't a clue about it. For profit. It's like when you see a person wearing Ramone's shirt, who hasn't a clue about the band.
don't compare american fashion with japanese harajuku fashion because they're very much opposite, if america's lifestyle is always on the go, the japanese harajuku is laid back, american style is kinda always self conscious and harajuku has that 'hell-i-care' attitude,,,which i so love..it's the most exciting way to be unique and freeing one's self...
Harajuku is just culture shock to the max...it definitely gets lost in translation w/n Western fashion styles. But I lived in Tokyo and it grew on me, what can I say :-) I just honestly think they try too hard to be "American" (or at least that's what I got in Tokyo) and their fashion is definitely trendy....but is years behind what Americans & ESPECIALLY what European fashion does
If it's DIY, then why is there a fashion line of harajuku clothing? Shouldn't people just throw the crap that they find in a discount clothing store together into an outfit?
they try to be different but because everyone wants to be different in the same way, at the end they are all the same, buying brand clothes and all looking the same.
My style is a mix of 60-70's continental jetset, fascism and 19th century imperial styles, and people in Europe think I'm crazy.
Even when I don't really do things much differently from others, except for wearing a cape instead of a trench over a suit for example, people think it's "too much".
I even make sure my clothes have perfect fit, unlike all those mainstream bankers in too large suits/too long pants, but I'm still considered abnormal.
i think this thing is more based on all the fashion that already existed, from Austrian style till ww2 flight style, one question btw, what does Japan mean and whoever named it that, coes the real name of japan is Nihon
from what I remember, my Japanese teacher told my class that "Japan" came from the Chinese pronounciation of Nihon/Nippon, like "Jipon" or something like that. I could be wrong though
Bubble tea is so good XD Haha just go to a vietnamese resturant, there sure to have it
>:D
Ahaha I love Harajuku kids, I hope it doesn't adapt here in USA and I bet it wont. I hate Gwen for giving it the wrong image though, her stuff isn't Harujuku at ALL.

yet, in Japan there are stores primarily for Harajuku fashion... so you're telling me that they have those stores in japan only to window shop and not to acctually BUY their clothes and accessories from?
granted i know some of them make their own costumes, but most of them go to a tailor to have the clothes made for them...
dont believe me? talk to someone whos been there, oh wait! you just did!!
i go to Japan at least twice a year! if an Old Navy where to be placed in japan could be considered harajuku. if you conprehended my state ment you whould have taken "as in you putt together your own clothing" into consideration, i was not saying go sew your own clothes but to obtain "different" clothing and piece together the outfit. The whole goal to being Harajuku is to be different. You cant be different and stand out if you are buying the exact same outfit as another,those "harajuku" stores
only give you the materials to obtain the look. You will not find one "harajuku" kid that shops at only one of those stores. Simply to achieve his/her style they went to different stores and putt together their out fit.
Dont think im right? why dont you ask someone with japanese family, oh wait! A jap is talking to you right now!!
no, American Japanese people commonly take it as an offense due to that what soldiers called them during WWII.
Jap is just short for japanese and is more easy to fit into a sentence with fluency.
Does im a japanese sound beter then im a jap?
Yea maybe a japanese person wouldnt like to be called a jap by an american, thought there is no slur like with words people use for Africans and Hispanics,(IE the N word) Even though these slurs have a double standard. U think im mistaken, ur pathetic.
@SBok13 Try shopping on ebay. They have lots of harajuku stuff. The UK doesnt have much in the way of harajuku so i suggest that you pick a dress that you like and customize it by sewing beads on or cutting the shape slightly different and accessorizing with loads of beads and pretty jewellery. If you still cant find the style you want look on youtube for tutorials on how to make your own clothes and things. Look in my favourites if you want :) hope that helps a bit

visual kei was created by japanese bands that copied styles from europe and north america such as kiss and that kind of boring glam bands that were famous in the 80's they mixed it with kabuki gayness and visual kei was formed, it was boring and gay at the beggining but nowadays is stylish and gramorous as you want it to be. But seriously american peopl is not only from fucking USA there are other countries in the continent u know fucking faggots? We love japanese fashion only fuck other asians
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
WOW losers if it wasn't for Gwen Stefany who put that shit on American tv no one would care about it! and guess what we still don't care about it!!!! So SHUT THE FUCK UP CHINKSS!!!!!
It actually did come from the Western part of the world. The original idea at least. For example, anime/manga's idea came from comics/cartoons. Same goes for western style clothing.
Manga are comics and print cartoons, in the Japanese language and conforming to the style developed in Japan in the late 20th century. In their modern form, manga date from shortly after World War II, but they have a long, complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art..
It's also obvious that those kids like copying from other cultures. Or they would still be in Kimono's and what not that my ancestors wore. Just as some Americans like Japanese hairstyle, the same can be said for Japanese liking what Americans do.
haha bobalicous i live like 2 min away from that. that place is jus for the wack gangsters and little kids... its all bout green tea house and tapex. SD
aw, man. i can't believe they didn't specifically identify the Japanese Visual Kei scene... I didn't know you could talk about Harajuku with out mentioning that. At least half of those people were wearing costumes from Visual Kei bands... That really annoys me.
harajuku does not equal scene in anyway what-so-ever. harajuku isn't a style only, it is a whole subculture of expression and uniqueness with no rules or regulations.
Really? Then tell me why the scene hair is an exact copy of Ganguro hair? Whether you want to admit it or not, scene is definitely influenced by harajuku, especially due to the fact that REAL scene girls are Japan and manga fans while the fake ones like Kiki Kannibal are in it just for the fame.
I'm American and I utterly love harajuku fashion and I can't stand the fact that everytime I search 'harajuku' something from Gwen Stefani shows up. T3T
I asked some of my friends if they knew what harajuku really was ... they said she made it...
Just another thing America has attempted to steal from Japan!
actually the united kingdom is doing pretty well on that front! we have a huge lolita community, japanese rock nights, a parapara club an lots of visual kei bands play london ^^
if you like japanese visual bands be sure to see an cafe next year! you have to get tickets soon though ^^ also if you're interested in lolitas i recoment joining livejournal an searching for the main lolita communities ^^
I'm a huge fan of Japanese visual kei AND Gwen and after seeing her Harajuku Lovers collections I think that all she's doing is paying tribute to something she admires, the expressive and creative energies that people show off in the Harajuku district. Unfortunately it's the majority of her sheltered fans that seem to think that Harajuku is a style created by her.

Daido juku fashion is way better. the key to good fashion is being me ;D k my heart is japanese that means i have a lot of heart. o shit the hurricane is hitting i g2g tell u that theres no hurricane its a tornado. im eating tornado chips. thats fashion. look ok the master is also always the one who seems unknowing. I have the best feet :) ya cuz theyre big and muscular except so nicely shaped :). k thats rite. what happened? ya it was me. LOL :) k look, go buy a hampster come to montreal illbh
That's a load of bullshit. Visual Kei was started by the band X Japan and others. Later, other bands rose up and improved the style. Now, fans start trying the visual kei scene. The other's are other fashions like decora, kigurumi, ext. Please learn more about Harajuku's fashion before posting this comment.
This is where you and Gwen Stefani seem to be on the same page. You think Harajuku is a fashion style [or maybe you just made the same typo twice, IDK]
No I know it is a place. She made certain clothing that Harajuku. Because she did have nothing to do with the place and where/how the teens dress there. Everyone says thats her thing and Japanese people took it. When that is completely wrong. When I said she was Harajuku I was copying what some of her fans say and try to copy. I know it is a place for sure. I'm not that big of an idiot. But I also think that she is a celebrity weeaboo. Even though her fans wont like me saying that.
it doesnt look a thing alike xD! putting Harajuku on it doesn't make it Harajuku, fool.

aw, man. i can't believe they didn't specifically identify the Japanese Visual Kei scene... I didn't know you could talk about Harajuku with out mentioning that. At least half of those people were wearing costumes from Visual Kei bands... That really annoys me.

harajuku does not equal scene in anyway what-so-ever. harajuku isn't a style only, it is a whole subculture of expression and uniqueness with no rules or regulations.

Really? Then tell me why the scene hair is an exact copy of Ganguro hair? Whether you want to admit it or not, scene is definitely influenced by harajuku, especially due to the fact that REAL scene girls are Japan and manga fans while the fake ones like Kiki Kannibal are in it just for the fame.

I'm American and I utterly love harajuku fashion and I can't stand the fact that everytime I search 'harajuku' something from Gwen Stefani shows up. T3T
I asked some of my friends if they knew what harajuku really was ... they said she made it...
Just another thing America has attempted to steal from Japan!
Just like 'scene' or 'emo'. I won't have it!
VISUAL KEI/OSHARE KEI FTW! o(^///^)o

I'm a huge fan of Japanese visual kei AND Gwen and after seeing her Harajuku Lovers collections I think that all she's doing is paying tribute to something she admires, the expressive and creative energies that people show off in the Harajuku district. Unfortunately it's the majority of her sheltered fans that seem to think that Harajuku is a style created by her.

Harajuku fashion is nothing but recycled Club Kids fashion from the late 80's in New York...Duh!!!
superchica14 3 years ago
That's a load of bullshit. Visual Kei was started by the band X Japan and others. Later, other bands rose up and improved the style. Now, fans start trying the visual kei scene. The other's are other fashions like decora, kigurumi, ext. Please learn more about Harajuku's fashion before posting this comment.

True, but it still created more stereotypic gossip and stereotypes. But, I never got inspired from Gwen. My sisters got me into it and visual kei. x]

I hate how some people think Gwen is just so harajuku and how she started it. She didn't start harajuku and she had nothing to do with it.
NyappyDinosaur 3 years ago 15
I agree with you.....to a degree.
This is where you and Gwen Stefani seem to be on the same page. You think Harajuku is a fashion style [or maybe you just made the same typo twice, IDK]
Harajuku is a PLACE.
Shoryuji9 3 years ago 7
No I know it is a place. She made certain clothing that Harajuku. Because she did have nothing to do with the place and where/how the teens dress there. Everyone says thats her thing and Japanese people took it. When that is completely wrong. When I said she was Harajuku I was copying what some of her fans say and try to copy. I know it is a place for sure. I'm not that big of an idiot. But I also think that she is a celebrity weeaboo. Even though her fans wont like me saying that.
NyappyDinosaur 3 years ago 2
I agree with you more than a hundred percent.
It's very annoying when I see my classmates try the style, yet they do not know of it's origin nor the background of 'Harajuku fashion.'
It's very annoying and I know a lot of people feel the same way. No offense to Gwen's fans. . .
