I am Chinese,but i study Japneses and its culture at a university.so maybe i can say something about it.
the Japanese like cartoon very much.so you can find something from it in fashion.

ah....ok.....

now i know that japanese really likes cartoons...

thats why other japs looks like cartoon:D lol.....

are you pinoy?

jap fashion is very different from the other fashion capital of the world....their sense of style is distinct....you jsut know that it is a ajp style when you see one....

very unique. very stylish (at times).
their sense of self expression is so amazing. ROCK ON JAPAN!

yeah jap fashion rocks!:D

I know^^
Gothic Lolita^^

ive found japanese girls to be very stylish, black and white is cool..

hmm...im pinay but must of my family are in tokyo...so
ive come to notice tht japanese gurls tend to lyk victorian

dear sir:
am very glad, am sent this message to you to imform you that i am a very nice expierence shoe fashon:

ah...shoe fashion? so what will be your rule in this matter?

what thing? o_o. a sig?

find one that fits. lol

Some of it's cool, but some of it just seems weird to me... Like that kabuki style or whatever it's called, where they paint their face really brightly, and mess up their hair? I dunno, seems to diminish their beauty rather than help anything... What's the point of it, just the attention, or to be "different" and cast of the burden of caring about having a "nice" appearance?

Anyway, I do think some of their fashions and such are really interesting, and look great. There seems to be a lot of variety, like just walking in Tokyo or some big city, you could see people in random costumes, or kimonos, or just "regular clothes". You've got men in business suits walking next to cosplayers. Unless, the cosplayers just stick to a certain area? I'm not sure, actually. Well, either way, you go to a big city in the US (such as NYC), and you probably wouldn't see any of the odder stuff like in Japan.

theres some historical refference to that style.
also, keep in mind historicly many cultures around the world have gone to extreme measures (by moden standards) in beauty. its only recently that we've come to see simplicity as beauty at its finest.

example? british poofy hairstyles....italian philosphers who wore stiletto boots...french aristrocrats who shaved their head jus so they can have a variety of wigs that they can choose from...and thats only from the 'civilized' nations.

HEY HEY HEY. HAve you forgotten?!! The japanese hate been classified as "Japs". Its kind of racist like the N word. >.>

I dont find it soo offensive but yeh...keep the word to minimum, incase more real japanese people see it.

*cough*

Look at this magazine: http://www.fruits-mg.com/xnew/j/index.html

click on either street, fruits or tune. all diff fasion

Yeah using the word Jap is a nono, some Japanese find it quite offensive..

elegance through simplicity. japanese design is.

yeah, you can thank world war one for that classification. sad how history never leaves good things in the air for long..but the negative lives through the ages...

a toast to that [holds up a pint]

first...I want some japanese clothes...stylish(thats how they call it in germany,stylish:))
and then....
how can I have an other avatar?
I want my own
or isnt it possible?:confused:

ahh and the link shows that the japanese people have style
and youre roght with the "jap".....
it is sort of racy....
I gues you spell it like that...
whatever

japanese street clothes, are what you're thinking about. its a lil radical eh? But so cool at times though. i've seen some things i jus wonder about though. lol.

about the avatar, you need at least 25 posts to put up your own avatar. when you get that many posts, jus go to the control panel and where you change avatars. at the bottom there will be a custom avatar uploader.

I don't know, when I was in tokyo, I couldn't stop laughing my ass off. It seemed to me a bunch of those kids were still stuck in a high school daze. If you need your clothes to define who you are, then you are a loser. Don't get me wrong I am into wearing fashionable clothes, but it isn't who I am. I know some people would say they are an extension of your being, but hey it's just a phase.

I understand were they are coming from in a country were everything is so homogenized you need to stand out for a little uniqueness, but I dislike American kids going ga ga over japanese fashion.

It's just clothes, but then again to each his own.

I love my Honda, I am a gear head!!! JDM all the way baby.

oh yeah I love the Japanese ladies, that's why I married one.

lol, hope you didn get me wrong in my post.
i love the clothes, and thinks its cool they go for what they want. the way i dress here in canada is somewhat unique at times too. but i doubt i'd ever replicate fashion from there to here. not jus cause its very differnt from what i see here...when it coems down to it, i don't care. lol.
clothes should be what yuo feel like wearing at the time. how yuo want to present yourself. it shouldn't be copied form one place to another. if you like it, present it.

and for the rest of ya...japanese h.schoolers see American Fashion as a huge trend and stereotype it and everything surrounding it. (generaly, not always)
it seems as though a lot of N/A guys are within the same thought process with Japan. :p So if you think Japanese high schoolers are a lil gaga for american things and comment negatively...take another look around (at yourself and othrs within the same interest community). ^^

arigato gozaimasu:)

and I have never heard a american/english person say "ja"
and have nevver read "ja"
but
when youre not german then please forgive me for my dumb question
and if you are german then answer this

von wo kommst du?

where do you come from?:confused: :eek: :D :rolleyes:

im sure japanese people don't like to be refered to as japs or nips. its derogitory.

thats just my opinion, im sure those terms are used through out this entire forum though so i can't reply to everyones mistakes.

o_o so why am i supposed to e-mail you? >_>...[scared]...lol

Japanese people are some of the most fashionable ppl on earth, Once met this girl decked out in accessorys.. looked cute, and heavy.. haha:)

yeah same, but i think girls look way cute wearing yukata cant help thinking about girls wearing them :p

perhaps, but fashion is a perspective thing, remember that. pris fashion week would make most japanese drool.

xD i don't even know what to say..lol
