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.

Nice to see some good, back-to-basics Kuro-lolita! :D I’d love to incorporate some of those arm-covers into my own wardrobe…

@kagitsune: Yes, is very basic and simple, isn’t it. It looked good on Chika, I thought. She was waiting for a live concert in Amerika Mura when I noticed here. There were lots of other cool people there, but I noticed it too late and took too much time to shoot these images. By the time we were done, all the other people had gone inside… I hope Chika still got a good spot!

I’m in love with her outfit. It is so elegant, and I like the fact that she’s not “overloaded” with tons of accessoires. Nice coordination of the outfit, really appreciate it. :3

Her hair is so long! It’s a traditional loli outfit, it’s quite stunning and elegant. It’s amazing how the Japanese suffer for their fashion though… I’d die in that outfit in the summer!

@Mel: I am totally in love with her incredible hair. That long hair seen from the back reaching straight down is just beautiful. Thankfully, that day it was still kind of cool in Japan; today it would be quite tough on her.

@sabrina: Yes, amazing, isn’t it? I keep repeating myself, but I think what makes Japanese street fashion so awesome is the incredible attention to detail. It’s find it fascinating.

@a: I didn’t notice that. But I guess, Chika does have something manga-ish about herself.

Is her head extremely over-sized or is it me?

I think she is so adorable and very pretty. She definitely has the Loli down, with such cute accessories and an innocent resonance, even in the picture!!
