Japan has very unique dern-fashion, I think. They have their own level of fashion. It's not glamour, it's not expensive, it's not lux, it's not calm, it's not USUAL.
Just like in the picture, Japan has a deadly fashion style, free expression. Harajuku they mentioned.
I like it, it's unique. What do you think about new-age of fashion from Japan?

I am a big fan of Harajuku and other Japanese fashions. I think they are more accepting of personal style there. I often tell my husband that I would love to go to Japan simply for the fact that I could dress however I wanted and I probably wouldn't get shunned as easily as I would here. I'm a big fan of Gothic Lolita wear (surprising given my name, I know) but I simply don't think there is a place for it here in America. Japan definitely gets kudos in my book for being so fashion forward and accepting of those who chose to express themselves through fashion.

Yeah, I've taken to the Japanese culture quite quickly. I read Manga and watch Anime as well. I'm also a fan of their music and language although I'm not able to speak or read it, I hope to be fluent one day. Sometimes Japanese fashion can be a little too forward thinking for me but I'm usually able to wrap my mind around where their trends spawn from. Japan is one of the most culturally rich countries in the world. I envy that being a Scottish girl from California.

I LOOOOVE harajuku style. I'm half jp myself, and I've witnessed the style in person when I go over to visit family. It's soooo cute & unique.
