Street Fashion Tokyo: Denim World November 15

Colour & Trends, Street Fashion

Denim1

It’s official—denim is taking over the world! We saw it in New York, all over the fashion capitals in Europe, and now a major crop pops up in Tokyo and street fashion. As a ready to wear material, lighter blue denims and cottons were essential components of both androgynous blue collar looks and uber-girly frills—especially when it came to button-up work shirts, classic denim jackets and vests. Likewise footwear tapped denim both light and dark for everything from simple Keds-like sneakers to rugged unisex boots to feminine wedges. And for the frill factor, denim turned up in jewelry and hair accessories as fabric flowers and bows. READ MORE +

Street Fashion Tokyo: Over The Knee November 10

Legwear, Street Fashion

Over1

When the skirts are short, the legs (and, conveniently, legwear) get all the attention. Stylish young women in Tokyo accessorized their miniskirts and shorts with all sorts of patterned hosiery and statement legwear. Over-the-knee socks were one of the top choices, usually in black or black-plus-pattern. But the legs weren’t only about tall socks—tall boots were a must-have to complement the over-the-knee legwear look. Tough boots were a top choice, from heavy duty Doc Marten style lace-up boots to rugged outdoorsy looks, as well as softer slouchy versions and big turned-down cuffs. READ MORE +

Street Fashion Tokyo: Watch This November 8

Street Fashion, Watches

Shibuya and Harajuku are the place to go for cool, edgy young urban fashions in Tokyo, so it’s no wonder that the retail windows there were popping with the watches to match. Bright colour combinations were not to be missed, from rubber and plastic to ceramic links and sleek metal touches. On some digitals, just a touch of bright colour on the buttons offered a fresh update. Digitals in general were a must have in this category, as part of a greater retro revival theme that ranged from 60s modern to 80s hi-tech. Rubber bangle and cuff-style watches served as a perfect piece to layer into a stacked wrist jewelry look. READ MORE +

Back to the Pack August 31

Colour & Trends, Handbags

Backpacks1

The days are getting shorter and cooler, which means it’s back to hitting the books or spending longer hours confined to a cubicle – and you’re going to need some sort  of carry-all to help you transport papers, files, and other necessities during the daily grind. But just because what’s inside your bag is as boring as a Monday morning doesn’t mean the outside has to be. Backpack styles vary as widely as human personalities do. Structured leather packs or cross-body messenger-style bags say “urban warrior,” while sacks in cheerful plaids and colourful prints radiate a fun-loving attitude. Are you a nature lover? A backpack with plenty of functional straps and compartments shows how ready  you are for a weekend excursion into the wild. And if you want your backpack to look like actual wildlife, there are even fur-covered options out there. But, lest you think high fashion is the one area practical packs can’t cover, think again – plenty of famous brands produce ultra-luxe versions to appeal to those possessing champagne taste.
