I'm having flashbacks from the cube apartments.

haha...yeah a lot of functional buildings like apartments, some schools, and such are pretty drab.....i mean look at all the apartments in the doramas lots of them look like prison blocks...not very fashionable.

but i guess like anywhere the fashionable architecture is left to the big money high profile projects...

almost every designer label has an absolutely extravagant boutique.....i was lucky to see a few....



i didn't see the Gucci store in Shinjuku, only the one in Omotesando...the Shinjuku branch is supposed to be the largest Gucci store in the world.....even larger than any in Italy.

Wow.

From what I know, people spend a lot of money on themselves instead of car and house in Tokyo. Lots of potential customers, not to mention they have the busiest street corner in the world in Shinjuku.

yeah that has to be it...they have more disposable income then other ppl to spend on fashion.

Reina here makes a nice fashion statement.

I used to go to these sites for information on Tokyo Street fashion

http://www.japanesestreets.com/

street arena

But sometimes I think its too much.. hhehe.. you guys have any other sites you visit to look at Japanese fashion?[/url]

A lot of them looks like fools IMHO. I don't really get the bloody clothes and bandages.

For regular, classy and not trashy, check Japanese websites. If it's just to check at pictures, it doesn't mind if you can't read. I don't have any eccentric street fashion links except the previous 2 you posted.

If she is, she's covered with those condoms.

I found the rest. Condom Fashion Show


Fall and winter clothing is already out. Nothing quite like trying wool clothing when you're sweating in a t-shirt with the A/C on. Prepare yourself to throw away all your clothes. It seems everything is either black, white or both.

EDIT: I would SO love to wear that while riding the subway in Japan....but I don't think I could contain myself from laughing my ass off. And when I got off everytime I passed by a mirror or reflective glass I would stop and check out my cool hoodie.

lol

I don't get it. Who you buy something like that? I mean, even without the hoodie, the colors are kind of ugly. Maybe it was design for that ugly Versace chick. http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2005/09/30/versace1_gallery__470x333.jpg

Her swarthy, rough skin is like bark so you have no need for paper....a lead-lined oil drum might suffice tho'.
