Time to get rid of your hoodies and sweatpants!
-- follow the Japanese fashion trend
by Ellie
It is said that Milan is the center of fashion in the Western countries, then Tokyo is the orientation of Estern fashion. Japanese style is well-rounded and It is not just about cuteness. And people in Japan pay lots of attention in dressing up every day. It seems that if you randomly pick a person on street, he or she will be capable to be your stylist, lol. It is tradition to spend an hour or two on make-up and matching clothes before they go out from home. Their strict criteria on beauty dates back to the Heian period (794-1185 A.D.), when men and women would do their make-up with white powder to make themselves look more beautiful and wear layers of clothes made from fine silk and decorated with delicate patterns (learned from the EALC class, haha). It In short, nowadays Tokyo fashion plays an important role in East Asian fashion inspiration. In the following post, I will present the prediction of summer 2012 and some street snapshot photos that cover the main branches of Japanese style.
