There is a lot of momentum of street fashion in Japan. Tokyo, especially Harajuku and Shibuya where there are lots of commercial fashion buildings, is brimming with distinctive fashion from worldwide perspective.
Why do they wear clothes in this way ? Because they has a tendency that they doesn't want to possess likeness with someone and put a strong emphasis on individualism. That's why they explore their own inimitable how to dress. They pursue their own how to wear clothes to maximize their individuality with their physical features in their mind. And there is one more reason. Even if special events regarding fashion like JAPAN FASHION WEEK don't take place, they have a strong platform to capture their thoughtful fashion in Harajuku and shibuya. Flaunt is justifiable there. There are a large number of cameramen under fashion magazine dairy. Everybody is eager to be photographed by them. Being able to be daring to challenge unique style is attributed to the competitive and exceptional circumstance like this.
In this article , I dissect intriguing Japanese style !! and I'm going to explain the two types of trend in Japan and their story which I understood from their dialogue in my photograph activity.
1 Permanent trend is "Platform shoes"
I can't explain "Harajuku Style" without Platform shoes !!!
She selected the outrageously oversized tops with round sleeve. That's why she needs platform shoes to take entire balance. Platform shoes is a permanent item for Japanese fashionistas , I think. Because , in my opinion, Japanese prefer to choose baggy tops without going for clinging one, compared with overseas fashion.

2 Technical trend is "Rolling up"
Recently, I often witness those who roll up their sleeves !!!

See his how to roll his pants up. It amazed me that it is unpredictably well-proportioned. He attempted to incorporate novel something as a brainwave that he had came up with when he had been thinking of his style in front of a mirror in that day.

He works for prestigious hair salon which is located in Harajuku .His forte is well-proportionally rolled-up sleeves. whenever I meet him, he absolutely rolls up the sleeves of his pants. I think that this is his principle in how to wear.

In case of rolling up, Exposed socks are crucial for overall style. So those who roll up their sleeves must style their coordinate with meticulous attentions to socks.

I think that the tips of success in rolling up is to meld it with long coat like her and those above-mentioned. Long coat is absolutely well-matched with rolling-up, because rolling up can cut off extra heaviness which long coat adds to achieve ideal balance.
That's all first report about Japanese Style from "purveyor"
