JAPANESE STREETS: Japanese street fashion, street culture and catwalk fashion. Follow the fashion trends of Japan's trendy youths

With his sunset orange and aquamarine hair, Junya reminds me of a visit to Baskin and Robbins.
I was always amazed and mesmerized by the colors that greeted me there from below the glass.
Junya has the same effect on me. I love photographing him.

Not so long ago, American fashion designer Jeremy Scott took a stroll in Harajuku.
In one of the backstreets he noticed Junya.
Usually, people accost Scott to ask him if they can take his photo.
But here it was the other way around.
Scott asked Junya.
Junya eagerly obliged, of course.

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.

Recent photos by Kjeld Duits:

Buffalo Tower shoes are coming back!! Big time! This platform sneaker trend (that I personally think started again back in Tokyo 2-3 years ago) is kind of at its peak, I think. Do you think it will become more mainstream? Even last fall in Harajuku tons of people were wearing platforms, but I didn’t see it much anywhere else in Tokyo, or in Osaka.

@Lactose Intoler-Art: Yes, I see more Buffalo platform shoes. I don’t dare to speculate on future trends, but it seem unlikely this will go mainstream. I think it will remain mostly a Harajuku thing. At least for now.

How could I miss the hand glasses for the first 2 photos? They’re very salient after you notice them (at least for me). He is very cool
