Revision as of 12:18, 12 October 2008

Japanese Street Fashion first started in the middle of the 19th Century after Japan started to portray western fashion in their culture. It was then altered to 'Street Fashion', which is what it is commonly known today in the fashion industry, in the beginning of the 20th Century. There is no indefinite information on who started this up and coming trend or to why it was started.

By collaborating a mix and match of present and traditional clothes, which are usually home-made with material and outside resources, we get the term 'Street Fashion'. Street Fashion is used for the designer and/or wearer of the clothes who customizes the outfits using the requirements of this term.

Currently in Japan, there are many fashion styles made of local and foreign mixtures of clothing. This fashion is the most popular trend in Japan today. Harajuku, Odaiba, Roppongi, Ginza, Shinjuku, and Shibuya are all large fashion districts in Japan that have a huge population of the young Japanese wearing these fashionable statements.[1]
