About the PhotographerInspired 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.

I really like this look. I can’t put my finger on it, I just like it.

@KD: oh you are right, it looks kinda similar!
In fact, in the first shot, his skin looks darker than in the rest on the photos, he didn’t look 100% jap to me in that shot xD

Actually that shirt on him looks more like a blouse to me, but it’s really AWESOME! (^ 0 ^)
“I think loose straight outfits like these fit the Asian physique.” <— I know what you mean and I have to agree with you. I noticed it too. And I think it’s not necessarily because they are generally quite thin, but because they are SLENDER. If you know what I mean. Especially men. I love it! (^ __ ^;;)

It’s a shame that brand’s out of business as the shirt is pretty cool. Very original, yet has something classical about it. Very renaissance retro with that collar :P.

Very interesting look. I think that Number Nine even had a store in New York at one point…Too bad! :(
@Kjeld The image search was really interesting. I noticed a lot of oversized ethnic shirts in Tokyo, and at the “cool” vintage shops. Haha.

I really like the tone and texture of his line/silk shirt? It looks very casual and unpretentious yet very chic. Goes well when contrasted with the shorts, i thought it was a skirt at first. Very nice.
Anyone know if this japanese fashions has spread to China also?
