Punk & Gothic x Kimono Fusion Street Style in Harajuku

A new Post "Punk & Gothic x Kimono Fusion Street Style in Harajuku" was written on the January 15, 2012 at 7:47 pm on "Textile Global - Textile and Fashion News".

Here are two colorfully dressed Japanese girls we met near Jingu Bashi
in Harajuku. Their detailed outfits and bold hairstyles instantly
caught our attention. Even though we were rushing toward Shibuya to
take Coming of Age Day kimono pictures [1], we had to stop and shoot a
couple of quick snaps of these amazing girls!

The girls are both wearing elaborate outfits that mix elements of
traditional Japanese fashion with modern punk and gothic influences.
The girl on the left – the one with the amazing yellow-tipped red
hairstyle – is wearing red and black pieces that look traditional,
along with a skull-patterned obi and armband, platform boots, and a
lip piercing. The girl on the right's outfit features beautiful
cherry blossom patterns as well as silver jewelry and a flower
headpiece. When we asked the girls where their unique clothing came
from, the girl with red hair told us "tezukuri" (which means
"handmade"). We didn't have time to get too much information
from these girls, but hopefully we'll run into them again soon so we
can find out more about their fashion!

*Update*: One of our followers on Instagram suggested these girls
might be wearing fashion inspired by members of the Japanese visual
kei band Kiryu.
