There is something truly captivating about Japanese fashion. It is so damn ON TREND. Yes, there have been and continue to be some questionable trends, the Ganguro (ガン黒) girls as a strong first. Questionable or not, that doesn’t matter because almost everyone in Japan exudes coolness and originality. 

They have taken on trends to another level and continue to grow and change them into something that suits them perfectly. The use of mix and match bright colours, big prints, big heels that are teamed perfectly with tailored outfits seemed apparent on the runway at A/W 09 London Fashion Week. Eley Kishimoto, founded by Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto, has been my favourite Japanese-influenced label at LFW for a couple of years now.

Take a look at what is happening now with fashion in the trendiest country in the world.

I found these two sites that focus really well on Japanese fashion for both men and women, www.fashioninjapan.com and www.japanesestreets.com
