Listening to Chara: hug

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.

Wow… these colours are so hard to combine, but she managed it very well- fresh-faced, but not infantile. Love it.

@Kjeld Duits: Oh yes, I’ve looked at Kumamikis blog (only the pictures, because I can’t read or understand Japanese), in particular the project “original kimono 2013 Summer”. Did she designed the pattern of the kimono fabrics herself?

@Zeuch: Yes, this is Kumamiki’s original design. She collaborated with a kimono company in Osaka. I will have some more info about this later this month, I think. ^^
