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.

I really like the variety of patterns on each item, it’s very playful. But those shoes, I LOVE them!!

@Romina: Awesome, eh! Who’d think that polka dots and stripes work that well together…
@Vera: Thanks! Momoka works at the The CIRCUS Harajuku and has a great eye for style. ^^
@Maria: Yes, I thought so, too. I started this recently and will try it with more people.

@Kjeld, I actually have socks with polka dots and stripes, so I think they work very well together!
These shoes have appeared in my dreams last night, so I took it as a sign and have just ordered them. They are going to rock my world!! (Even though I feel like a big copycat now…^^;)

@Romina: Cool. I think there is nothing wrong about being inspired by others. You’re only copying if you create exactly the same outfit. As Picasso said, “Good artists copy, but great artists steal.” So, steal some aspects and create your own look with it! Have fun!
