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.

In the first shot she doesn’t look japanese at all.
I like her style, all her accesories are so geometric, even the bow! Cool!
I love those fashionista tights! xD

＠Maria: Yes, I guess the blonde hair, the long legs, the way she carries herself easily fool you into believing she is not Japanese. She is working as a model, so she knows how to work the camera.

@KD: That explains that the first shots look like magazine photos or some brand’s catalogue photos, nice :D

Is it just me or does this look seem especially westernized? It reminds me of something you’d find on LookBook (granted that site is international, but most of it looks very similar). Regardless, I love the outfit, and her hair!

@MissMolly: It is very much Shibuya-kei, which is indeed close to Western fashion. Lots of Western celebrities go shopping at Shibuya109, the bastion of Shibuya-kei fashion. The style has enough Japanese influence to be different, but still feels familiar to the Western celebrities, so they don’t need to worry about being considered weird by their fans.
