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.

Just precious! She’s so beautiful, and pulls off the contacts and eyelashes well. And I love her dress, but I love the googlie eyes on her phone even more :) (That might have been my first time ever spelling the word “googlie”)

Very cute!
This isn’t something that I’d wear in any circumstances, but she pulls it off =)

I like all of her bright colorful accessories. The eyes on the phone are cute, too…I like the lamb or sheep little plushie she has there, it’s so cute. I would like this alot better on her if it weren’t for the topknot thingy on her wig, though…aside from that it’s a cute little outfit!

She is like a fizzy soda that makes you smile when you drink it; totally effervescent!

@Kjeld..I agree! I think Lolita will stay but come in waves and different forms…But this type of style also reminds me of the old 1990’s FRUiTS, and especially since like 2009 or so I’d say this type of style was almost extinct…But to me it seems like a few people are trying to bring back the roots of what some of Harajuku fashion was originally about. Its definitely not my favorite, but one great thing about Japanese fashion is the diversity in it, and that people can truly be expressive creatively through what they are wearing.
I think this girl however, is totally rocking this style.

I like the cuteness without going into ganguro territory.

Ohh! I thought this kind of fashion in such an extreme way was dead and buried, it makes me really happy to see it back!
(The only thing that makes me a little confused is that she doesn´t show much skin)

Thank you for answering!. But, what I meant is that usually the people that follow this trend are all about being wild and sexy, or that is how I understood it. (Had to do research for school a couple of months ago :B)
