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.

Ohhh. I love seeing pictures of this girl, she inspired me to dye my hair vivid red too xD I agree that bag is amazing, but if I may be a dork for a moment; her best accessory appears to be her attitude 8D

@Maria: “I love the third shot <3” — Cute, eh! I did lots of face shots. Had to restrain myself to show only three. ^^
@Chilakkuma: “she inspired me to dye my hair vivid red too” — No kidding! Maki will be amazed. I agree with you about Maki’s attitude being her best accessory. ^_-

@maki misawa: I’m glad my comment made you happy :D I already have my hair red, but it’s faded. >< Such a fun colour :) Stay gorgeous! <3

You have such a great style! I really like the innocent skirt with the corsage-like-top and rocking accessoires! I’m amazed!

@Miko: Yes, very true. That cheerful, almost traditional, rose-pattern on the miniskirt works unbelievably well with the ivory-colored laced bustier. Somehow sweet and edgy combines to enhance the edginess of the look.
