2Pretty Prints for a Perfect Picture
May 18 2014: I see lots of abstract symmetrical prints, in bright and cheerful colors. A trend that seems to be inspired by the 50s and 60s
Kjeld Duits: Anybody else who is reminded of the Mod fashion of 1960s Carnaby Street? Twiggy and all that?
Kat: Such pretty prints that helps you pop in any busy and crowded spot. I sooo love Japanese street fashion. More power to your blog. Love love love it soooo much! Cheers!!! :D

2Tokyo's Rainbow Week Kicks Off
Apr 27 2014: Tokyo’s LGBT Community once again took to the street today…
Kjeld Duits: @Ellie: The situation ids very positive and hopeful at the moments. Great things are happening, and some large changes are in the offing. They happen slowly and very gradually, though. But like a glacier, they won’t turn back.
Ellie: Oooh, so much love and fantastic outfits and positive energy! It’s lovely to see, absolutely lovely. I do hope the situation for queers in Japan continues to get better!
1024th Harajuku Fashion Walk
Apr 27 2014: Under a beautiful blue sky, the 24th Harajuku Fashion Walk snaked through Hrajuku today
Kjeld Duits: @Ellie: Thank YOU for your interest and support, Ellie!
Ellie: Ah, so many inspiring outfits! The whole, and the details of them! One of my favourite fashion walk of those I’ve seen so far, I think. Very nice to see!
I’m looking forward ever so much to finally return to Japan, though with my luck I’ll be lugging around too much iaido equipment to actually bring something fashionable, if my time/s in Tokyo would coincide with something like this. No reason not to pop by and have a look, though, and get inspired!
Ah, yes, so much inspiration. Thank you yet again for your photos!
Kjeld Duits: @MiniMocha24: So called fashion glasses have been popular for several years now. Often they have no lenses, only a frame. They are sold at many fashion boutiques. Prescription glasses are also very well designed in Japan and can be purchased cheaply at several chain stores, such as Zoff, JINS and Oh my Glasses.
I was born in the Netherlands, but have lived most of my life in Japan. This Google search will take you to many sites with information about me. ^_-
