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.

OMG! “Like” button is not even close to how I felt when I saw all the photos!
He makes me think that his style is inspired in traditional japanese clothing, but he also gives this futuristic/badass look! Never seen something like that.
He could inspire a mangaka to create a character ;)

@Maria: Really? I was actually thinking of you when I posted Kaoru’s photos and for some reason I thought that perhaps these images would not be of too much interest to you. I am very glad to hear that they are!
