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 this outfit. Not something I’d personally wear, but I like that this outfit is so clearly Japanese. The light materials, the interesting layering, the cool patterns and the cool hairband. Love it!

@Danielle: I like that you recognize Ootomi’s outfit as “clearly Japanese.” I think that the Japanese experience with kimono, which combines totally different colors, designs and textures in magnificent ways, allows Japanese people to do the same with what’s basically Western clothing. I love that. ♥♥♥

@Kjeld Duits: Exactly! That’s why I’d noted this outfit as being so clearly Japanese. I like that uniquely Japanese style seems to effortlessly incorporate the traditional and modern so beautifully.

@Danielle: Although it’s changing, for many Westerners this is still difficult to “get. So, I’m happy that you do get it. ^^”
