If you’re into harajuku fashion your dedication to need only be as serious as you want it to be. You may choose not to have a regular job or attend school and be fully into the band scene, but essentially the look of harajuku style is based on clothes and make-up which can be removed as desired, so if you want to be a part-time Harajuku girl, that’s perfectly okay. Punks with mohicans and piercings have to be punk (to some degree) all the time, but harajuku girls and boys can wear normal clothes then dress up harajuku-style at the weekend. Pure pop fashion, but so much fun!

Harajuke Style "guide"
Labels:
Harajuku Fashion
I found the following Harajuke Style "guide" online:
1. Give up brand loyalty. If you've gotta have Gucci or you're crazy for Calvin, Harajuku probably isn't for you. While it's OK to mix in some designer labels, Harajuku is about creating your own look, so if you look just like the manequins in the mall or the pictures in the catalog, you may be stylish, but you're not Harajuku. Secondhand clothing and do-it-yourself styles are popular ingredients in a Harajuku outfit.
2. Mix and (mis)match different fashions. What is now known as Harajuku style started as teens in the district began to integrate traditional Japanese attire, especially kimonos and geta sandals, into their dress. Before, they wore primarily clothes that were influenced by the West, but by mixing the traditional with the modern they created a new style. Other examples of mixing and matching including the punk look with the schoolgirl uniform or a goth look with designer clothes. In Harajuku, mixing different styles and mismatching colors and patterns is encouraged--you can do anything you want!
3. Explore costumes. Not all Harajuku style is theatrical, but certain costumes, such as schoolgirl and maid costumes are popular. Costume elements are typically worn in combination with other styles.
4. Wear whatever looks good to you. It's been said that the Harajuku style is not really a protest against mainstream fashion and commercialism (as punk was), but rather a way of dressing in whatever looks good to you. If you think mismatched rainbow and polka-dot leggings look good with a plaid dress, go for it.
5. Customize your clothes. Like that flowered skirt but think it would look cuter with a ribbon pinned on it or with a more uneven, angular hemline? Get out the scissors and glue and make your store-bought clothes uniquely yours. Or, go even further and make your own skirt. Cutting the fabric to create bold angles and lines can make even a plain black dress appear remarkable and fun.
6. Dress in layers. One of the hallmarks of Harajuku is layering. Sweaters, vests, or jackets over blouses over t-shirts; dresses worn with leggings: layering clothes (or giving the appearance of layering, by wearing ruffled dresses, for example) allows you to mix and match more different styles, and adds more dimension to your outfit.
7. Accessorize. Add any wild accessories you have, such as belts, earrings, hair clips, jewelry, and handbags. Remember, accessories can be colorful and loud," and they don't have to match your clothes. Speaking of loud, in decora, a particular Harajuku style, accessories embellish an outfit from head to toe, and objects such as bells are sometimes used to add an aural dimension to the wardrobe.
* Understand that Harajuku has many forms and is constantly changing. Gothic Lolita, decora, and wamono are a few of the styles that originated or developed in Harajuku, and many Harajuku girls (and boys) integrate one or more of these somewhat more defined styles into their outfits. It's impossible to pinpoint one "Harajuku style." Also, like all fashions, Harajuku style changes very quickly. It's easy to say that Harajuku is just bright colors, stripes, and leggings, but that's never really been accurate, and next week it may be even less so.

Elements of Harajuku Style
Labels:
Harajuku Hair Style
Harajuku fashion, also called Lolita fashion, consists of elements primarily from America and Great Britain and spans all aspects of popular fashion including clothing, makeup and hair styles. Skirts and dresses are worn both short and long with and without tights. Pink, black and white are three of the most popular colors worn in this style.
Primary elements of designs which follow this style are lace, bows, gingham prints, plaid and other bold patterns. Bold, bright colors are often mixed or set against black. Hairstyles are usually just as bold, and feature rainbow colors like pink and blue; platinum blonde and red are also popular. Hair is usually curled and piled on top of the wearer's head or built up with extensions.

Harajuku Fashion - Youth Culture
Labels:
Harajuku Fashion
If it's Harajuku's youth culture you want to see, don't even bother unless it's the weekend and preferably a Sunday. The bridge across the train tracks from Harajuku station to Yoyogi Park is full of Gothic Lolita or GothLoli. The costumes are very outstanding and you can't miss them. It is funny to see the surprise of the western tourists heading to Yoyogi Park and Meiji Jingu who clearly had not read their guide books fully on Harajuku. You can hear their comments that make it very clear they just don't understand what is going on. Essentially the youth who have dressed up are just hanging out with friends, many of them come with the hope of being snapped by one of the many magazine photographers who mingle in the crowd. Failing that there are lots of western tourist happy to take their pictures. See nearly 50 exclusive pictures of GothLoli in Harajuku.

The broad, tree-lined avenue leading downhill from the southern end of the JR Harajuku station is Omote-sandō (表参道). This is the other side to Harajuku fashion and its challenge to Shibuya and Ginza. Not only is the street full of cafes and clothing boutiques, but now features the very up market Omote-sando Hills. This very stylish centre is full of the who's who of the world fashion brands

Harajuku versus punk
Labels:
Harajuku Fashion
Harajuku fashion is now internationally-known, so anyone wearing harajuku style is photographed as much as the London punks who hang out in Trafalgar Square in tartan trousers and mohicans, waiting for tourists to pay them to pose for photos. And why not? When you're a punk you have fewer job options because of the extremity of your dress code, and need to make money somehow.
If you're into harajuku fashion your dedication to need only be as serious as you want it to be. You may choose not to have a regular job or attend school and be fully into the band scene, but essentially the look of harajuku style is based on clothes and make-up which can be removed as desired, so if you want to be a part-time Harajuku girl, that's perfectly okay.

Harajuku fashion is about freedom of expression
Labels:
Harajuku Girls
Japan is still very good at consuming trends from the West, so if you walk down the boutiques of Takeshita street in Harajuku you'll probably see a lot of teenagers wearing mod clothes. Harajuku is a mecca for artists, independent spirits, and burgeoning fashion trends that provides a space of free expression in what is ordinarily a rather conservative Japanese culture. But Japanese fashion isn't afraid to take it one step further... dressing-up in costume is seen as a major element of fashions, so no-one will bat an eyelid at a pretty girl wearing a plastic fried egg round her neck as a fashion statement.
The nice thing about Japanese - and Harajuku fashion - is that it's not a case of shops and brands (like Gap) dictating what people wear, but teenagers dictating what the shops will start selling.
There are now many clothes and websites that sell harajuku fashion and lolita fashion, but the spirit of this japanese style has arisen from teenagers not being afraid to customise and accessorise their own clothes, and to wear crazy outfits with a sense of humour to retaliate against social expectations of straight clothes, straight jobs, straight attitudes.

Harajuku fashion's origin
Labels:
Harajuku Girls
Harajuku fashion gets its name from the Harajuku district of Tokyo. All the switched-on harajuku kids go there to explore the many clothes shops and gather Yoyogi park, the cafes in Omotesando street or on the way to the Meiji shrine to display their latest harajuku creations for tourists as well as for their friends.
Harajuku became famous in the 1980s due to the street performers and wildly-dressed teens who gathered there on Sundays when Omotesando was closed to traffic. Omotesando is a very long street with cafes and upscale fashion boutiques popular with residents and tourists alike. Once it became pedestrianised on sundays it was the perfect place to meet, play music and show off!
Having a regular meeting place for art, conversation and performance gave rise to the vibrant Hokoten band scene. This was stopped at the end of the 1990s and the number of performers, Visual Kei fans, rockabilly dancers and punks has steadily decreased since. Today on Sundays one can see many Gothic Lolita as well as many foreign tourists taking pictures of them on the way to Meiji Shrine. Some tourists are surprised to see such a large exhibition of Japanese youth dressed up in often shocking outfits.

Gwen Stefani is so dope. It seems like everything she touches turns gold. No Doubt is sick, her solo album Love Angel Music Baby is sick, LAMB is sick, and in 2005 she unveiled Harajuku Lovers for the ladies as an extension to LAMB. Harajuku actually refers to a specific area of Shibuya, Tokyo where self-expression pushes the envelope of Japanese fashion norms. Harajuku is like no other place on earth and a hot zone for Tokyo’s youth.
Gwen’s experiences in Harajuku along with adding actual ‘harajuku girl’ back-up dancers into her solo career as a music artist led to the concept of Harajuku Lovers. The names of her backup dancers are Love, Angel,
Music and Baby.
Their influence comes out with the use of lovable phrase prints like ‘Ready, Steady, Love’ and ‘fatal attraction to cuteness’. In a Harajuku Lovers hoodie you will feel like you are actually in Harajuku listening to Gwen’s music, while knowing you look extra fly! We chose four ‘must have’ for your enjoyment Harajuku Lovers Brit Biker Hoodie, Harajuku Lovers Ready Hearts Tooth, Harajuku Lovers Ready Steady Girls Hoodie, and Lovers Leopard Hoodie by Harajuku Lovers. So, take your time looking at all four and I’m sure you will find one or two you absolutely love.

Harajuku Girls - How to Get the Look
Labels:
Harajuku
Harajuku is a trendy area of Tokyo where young people go to hang out with their friends, show off their latest fashions and hopefully get spotted by one of the street fashion photographers or model head hunters looking for the coolest new looks. It is also a popular hangout for cosplayers where teenagers will gather at the weekends dressed up as their favorite anime character.
There are various sub cultures within Japanese Fashion including Goth, Lolita and Gothic Lolita, Visual Kei, and Ganguro. The Harajuku girls from the Gwen Stefani world wear bright colors, mix and match with lots of accessories - the crazier and more individual the look the better.
If you'd like to dress like a Harajuku girl then there are lots of websites selling outfits from Japan which can provide good base pieces for your collection. EBay is another great place to look for outfits and accessories. The easiest way to get this look however is just to be creative - Harajuku fashion is all about being individual and experimenting.
Get brave with your clothes - wear lots of layers that mix and match, the brighter the better. Experiment with your hair and makeup too, trying crazy new styles that you wouldn't normally consider. Accessories should be large and bold and you should wear lots of them! Wear your whole look with confidence and try out new ideas every time you put together a new outfit.
It's easy to get the look of a Japanese girl with a little experimentation. Try looking in Japanese magazines and fashion websites for ideas and inspiration. Or do as the Japanese do and look to your favorite Japanese model and try to emulate their style. Idols and fashion models are true trend setters in Japan.

Japanese Fashion - Why the Sudden Boom?
Recently, Japanese fashion is all the rage, especially in kid's clothing. But why is this kind of fashion sudden popular now? What could have triggered the interest in this Asian kid's clothing trend?
These past years, there is a silent interest in all things from the land of the rising sun-from food to animation (known as anime) to movies to food. But the interest for Japanese kid's clothing came up fairly recently. One reason for this is the internet. Since there is already an inherent interest in the Japanese culture, the interest in Japanese kid's clothing was only likely to follow.
Since Americans and people from other Western countries are already immersed in Japanese pop culture, it's easy for them to see examples of Japanese kid's clothing. Of course, this has the same effect of children here seeing the clothes celebrity fashionistas wear.
But more than that, Japanese kid's clothing is popular because it is quite unlike the fashion trends Americans and other Westerners are accustomed to. American kid's clothing trends often gravitate towards the safe and the standard-a look at Baby Gap or Nautica for kids, for instance, could prove this to be true. Japanese kid's clothing trends, however, are bold and creative. This Asian country has children wearing bright colors and mismatched accessories that can put Lady Gaga to shame due to their practical exaggeration. Japanese clothes are not meant to shock; rather, it's often considered as a form of self-expression. The bold characteristics of these clothes are not the goal; rather, they are the effect.
A number of American celebrities did help this Japanese kid's clothing trend boom. Gwen Stefani, for instance, created a like called the Harajuku Lovers, named after the popular fashion district in Japan and a nod to the name of her Japanese backup dancers in her concert tours. Avril Lavigne has also been seen shopping in Harajuku, something that's evident when you look at some of her clothing choices.
Another reason for the boom: the expansive fashion choices. Japanese kid's clothing trends-or Japanese fashion trends in general-range from the practical to the almost cartoon-like. For instance, there's the Lolita trend, named after the novel of Vladimir Nabokov. The subculture fashion trend is inspired by the clothes from the Victorian era, although it is given a twist (gothic, punk, and even classical). Visual kei, meanwhile, is flashier and already leans on the flamboyant side with the use of heavy make-up and almost cosplay-like clothing pieces.
Japanese kid's clothing trends often have a deep history and origin. For instance, the Ganguro trend came about due to the Japanese teenagers' desire to rebel against their adults. The Japanese culture is more restrictive than the Western upbringing, hence the need for a more visual way of rebelling. The mismatched clothing in most of the Japanese kid's clothing trends came to be since some Japanese teenagers bought their clothes from thrift stores. Rather than creating a more put-together ensemble, they instead make something inherently eye-catching.By Beverly Maniago

Cosplay in Japan
Labels:
Harajuku Cosplay
The term alone is a broad overview of a much wider and more diverse culture, where these cosplayers or reiyas devote time and effort into perfecting their roles. It is not uncommon to see these individuals in public places like Tokyo's Harajuku district for it is considered a popular meeting ground. Attention to detail from simple to elaborate wigs, make-up and costumes - many of which are hand-crafted - are the highlights of observing cosplayers as a first time visitor to the city. However, even though there are a wide range of characters, the most popular ones, and fan favorites, are maid and high-school girl uniforms.
Another popular trend amongst reiyas is the smoky-eyed look; most commonly seen with those who prefer the Lolita fashion. Although Western culture attributes the role of Lolitas to underage girls, in Japan, it is not regarded that way. Those engaged in Lolita fashion do not see themselves as cosplayers, but distinct trendsetters who take great pride in their craft, ranging from Gothic to Punk. However, the inspiration for their look comes from the Victorian era, and the ensemble is mostly composed of a dress or skirt of knee-length, a headdress, petticoat, blouse, knee-high socks and platform shoes. Lolita fashion, in Japan, was believed to have started in the 1960s, and today many high-end boutiques have devoted sections to this growing trend.
Another instance where one might see 'costumes' on the streets of Japan, is during the Coming-of-Age Day festivities. This is held annually on the second Monday of January, and it is a time when young people who have reached the age of 20, are officially recognized as adult members of society. Young women can be seen wearing brightly-colored furisode (a style of kimono with long sleeves) and zori sandals. Since these outfits are considered expensive, and a little difficult to wear, the women either borrow them from relatives, rent them and prefer to get prepared in local beauty salons. For the men, the traditional dark kimono with hakama is sometimes seen, although many now prefer to wear Western suits.By Miroslav Versegi

Celebrities that are known by having this hairstyle are Allen Iverson and Sean Paul.

But its her references to the Japanese Harajuku Girls peppered throughout the album and on one track in particular that has drawn interest from a diverse range of commentators.
So who are these Harajuku Girls anyway?
The Harajuku District of Tokyo and in particular Takeshita Street, a narrow street lined with shops is home to these funky fashionistas. Since the end of World War II, "consumerism" and "consumption" have become the national past-time for most Japanese and in particular teenage girls who often live at home with their parents well into their twenties. Their rent free existence provides them with the enough funds to flock to Harajuku every weekend, where they transform themselves into Lolita-esque baby doll caracitures.
It's all a sort of a pop-art meets pop-culture meets Western decadence kinda street where often a t-shirt with a western image like Mickey Mouse can go for several hundred dollars a pop. This constant pursuit of rock n roll pop star hipness extends to teenage boys too. They in turn have opted for the western inspired hip-hop culture of disheveled jeans hanging half way to their knees, caps at all angles on their heads and of course lots and lots of bling.
Often the net result looks like something out of a Manga comic book as the fashionistas of Harajuku compete to look less human and more iconic. Not concerned about what we in the West may see as a conflict of style over substance, Harajuku Girls unlike the Goths, punks and bond girls that came before are not about rebellion from society. No, in fact these girls, like most Japanese, are often extremely polite and happy to pose for photographs with inquisitive tourists who gather every Sunday to take happy snaps of these super-model caricatures.
For the Girls of Harajuku, their most extreme vice may be a simple cigarette.

Tips on Creating the Harajuku Style
Labels:
Tips Harajuku Style
The Harajuku Station district has given birth to the street fashion trend known as Harajuku style. Generally, the free form, imaginative style is most widely known around teenagers in the local area. Because of its free-form nature, Harajuku is a very hard style to explain. Some may call it extreme, the eclectic looks that are driven by the anime or manga character styles. To master the skill in wearing Harajuku style outfits, just follow these guidelines.
Bright colors are what you should start with. You may be blinded by them if you happen to be around this Tokyo area on any Sunday. Kids look like this when dressed casually, all over the country.
Match and mix. Harajuku seamlessly mixes many different styles to create new eye-catching looks. How's this for creating your own look, wear that pink tartan skirt, and top it with a suit coat of a traditional style, or maybe some black grunge in the gothic style and pair it with accessories in sunny yellow. Your goal is to be as daring as possible by combining extremes in order to develop a lovely, yet lively, mixture.
Over the top accessories. It's always important to remember to add your accessories when dressing, they just 'finish' your look ever so slightly. Accessorize with necklaces, headbands, scarves or any type of flair that will heighten your style. Dress in multiple layers. Layering lets you merge several styles into your appearance. Evaluate each layer and how they interact with each other.
Try different looks for yourself. One of the most unique aspects of style is that it is ambiguously defined and is a matter of opinion and, therefore, cannot be wrong. You can combine mini dresses and lacy bra tops and see how it looks on you. White schoolgirl socks and school shoes will provide an interesting note of innocence. Each day the look can be changed and you will still be in style. Don't give up.
Play dress-up. Harajuku style affords you the ability to play with the styles of manga characters. You can have some fun with it even though it is not a requirement of the style. Dress appropriately after you research the character.
Enjoy yourself! Fun and flair is what this style is all about. Your wardrobe should show that you are creative and fun loving.
The style of Harajuku may appear as though the wearer grabbed a rainbow out of his or her closet. However, this not right. It takes a lot of time and effort to create this style. A unique style and look is displayed by each wearer.

Harajuku Style: Fashionable Kimono
Every second Monday of January, the streets of Japan are overrun with gaggles of giggling girls running or rather hobbling about in gorgeously decorated kimonos. They are celebrating their coming of age their rite of passage into adulthood with all of its wonders and horrors of drinking, smoking, and voting though many have probably been indulging in the former two activities for quite sometime.

How to Dress Harajuku Style?
Labels:
Harajuku Fashion
,Harajuku style
Become familiar with variations of style in the Harajuku district. It's impossible to pinpoint one "Harajuku style." Many styles have originated or developed on the streets of Harajuku, and many Harajuku girls (and boys) integrate one or more of these somewhat more defined styles into their outfits.
Dress in layers.
One of the hallmarks of Harajuku is layering. Sweaters, vests, or jackets over blouses over t-shirts, dresses worn with leggings, and so on. Layering clothes (or giving the appearance of layering by wearing ruffled dresses, for example) allows you to mix and match a wider variety of different styles, and adds more dimension to your outfit.
