Emi photographed Mash last month. Please notice her new hairstyle. I’m amazed at how much it changed her look.

About the Photographer

Inspired by the stunningly creative street fashion that exploded on the streets of Tokyo and Osaka in the late 1990’s, photo-journalist Kjeld Duits launched JAPANESE STREETS in 2002. This makes JS one of the first fashion blogs on the net, and the very first to cover Japanese street fashion.

She almost looks like a completely different person (from the last photos)!
I really like the monochromatic play of tones and textures she has going on with this outfit.

@2046: Amazing, isn’t it, how Mash manages to look that different.

I knew I had seen that bag somewhere! XD
Seems like she really like that bag ;P
She looks cool in a hole new way!

I remember her, and I love how her look is like a chameleon, so different, yet just as cool. The hat is quite a catch.

Very interesting look! Even though I like her “previous” outfit more, I think this one is really cool too. By the way, not only the bag, but her thights are also the same on both pictures! :D

I adore this look. The stripes stand out but not in an overwhelming way and i appreciate the fact that the top/skirt is not just a plain black top. I want that hat too! JS always gets the best pics, you guys make me wanna pick up my camera (even though I know nothing about photography) and move to japan (even though I’d probably starve from lack of funds in the first 2 weeks)

@Maria & Lia: I met Mash again today (didn’t shoot her), but she looked different again. She really is like a chameleon.

@gionbaby: I love how you always catch the details. As a kid you must have been great with those “Where’s Wally pictures!”

@Annabelle: LOL! Cool. Wonderful to know that we inspire you.

Thought I recognized her! I love that her outfits are different, but they both have a very vintage vibe. She pulls from many different eras to combine into a personal look. Same bag and same tights, but still so fun!

She looks cool! Bag is awesome im loving it. Her face in the first photo kind of reminds me Keira Knightley :P

I like this combination, simple but yet stylish.

@aura: Keira Knightley is well-known in Japan, too. I think mash will be very surprised, and happy, to find out about the resemblance.

I like this a LOT! The outfit is so cute! Her hat is fabulous! It’s really funky =)
And her pants are so cool! They really elongate her legs. Nice =)

Surprisingly, Mash was also very aware of the meaning of the cap. Usually I find that many people are not so aware of the history behind the clothes they’re wearing. But Mash knew. Which made her look even more attractive in my eyes!

@aura Ooh I didn’t think of it before, but when I saw her I also thought she reminded me of someone, she does look like Keira Knightley :D

I remember seeing a photo of Mash here before and I remember thinking “she looks so chique! wonder if she always dresses like that” and she does! Really LOVE her style, she’s like a modern day Coco Chanel, simple yet very chique :)

@Anya: I love your comparing Mash with Coco Chanel. Even their nicknames go well together! When I run into her next time I will tell her what you wrote. I am sure Mash will be delighted.

wow she is great! I just loved her hat, and everything looks amazing. I am afraid but i think i would follow this girl in street, just to look at her more:DDD
