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.

I Love her makeup and boots. She’s wearing contacts? A lot of Japanese girls wear contacts?

I took 79 photographs of Ayagi and probably got a 100 different expressions. Amazing personality.

That is the only time I have seen ripped jeans that look hot.

Amazing, isn’t it, how much Ayagi’s personality adds to her fashion style? It completes and enhances it.

I’m a fashion textiles student and love your photography, I’m currently doing a project on japanese street style. I would like to know what draws you to photograph this fashion style? What catches your eye and what particular looks are in japanese street fashion now? Thanks from Robyn :)

@Robyn: Thank you, Robyn. I am attracted by the creativity, originality and exuberance of this fashion. It shows lots of energy and joie de vivre. My choices are very subjective, but presence and self-awareness play major roles. There are always a whole range of looks that you see in the streets of Japan, and they differ enormously per locale, even in Tokyo itself. Harajuku fashion is completely different from the fashion in Shibuya, Aoyama or Ginza to name just a few well-known fashion districts. We focus mainly on Harajuku and the photos you see on JS give a good representation of some of the best looks available in this area.

What is there not to love with this fantastic image? The girl is so cute and this is further enhanced by the Mickey Mouse T-Shirt and bright orange nail varnish. I love the boots and the socks. She has added lots of contrasting pieces together and struck gold. Well done to her.

Oh, my, goodness! Wow, she’s adorably cute!

I saw a wide variety of styles while I was in Shitamachi last summer, but sadly I didn’t get to visit Harajuku. There were a ton of nice clothing stores, though. It’s easy to lose track of time just going through floor after floor of shopping centers.
