What have I learned from Japanese fashion? Dont get rid of your vintage stuff if it still fits, no one determines what i wear but me, dont follow trends and wear what makes u feel comfy bc thats your statement to the world....🙏🏽

It's futuristic yet traditional, simple yet unique, minimalistic yet expressive. I love it sm

It's so weird how such a conformist society like Japan has so much individuality in fashion. I guess because of how conformist that country is in the workplace, people seek out individuality in their hobbies, whether it be fashion, anime, music or cosplay.

My fave style is from Japanese upper middle class women I’ve seen in Tokyo street style photos. Some of them prefer natural fabric, midi skirt or dress, scrunched socks, chunky loafers, balloon sleeve, slightly cropped top or tunic length top to go with ankle length pants, canvas bag, bucket hat.

Thank you for quoting Hanae Mori, a pioneer in melding Japanese and western style. I would love to hear more about Japanese women designers and women's fashion in Japan ✌️

[mugensekai]

The quote from Kenzo is so apt, the focus on whole rather than part I would even argue stems from culture.

Thrifting in Shibuya is insane, a lot of fashion off the streets are thrifted and reused rather than purely new pieces.

The confidence that people exude based off of their whole appearance is next level compared to just accenting off a singular piece. Every look really seems to embody the persons lifestyle and it's admirable.

Craftsmanship, appreciation, thankfulness and respect with individual customer's expectations, for that reason I love clothes from Japan

I learned so much about Japanese fashion reading Ai Yazawa’s works. Her manga all feel like a love letter to Vivienne Westwood. I found myself exploring her brand
And street fashion as a result.

After living in Japan for 5 years, as well as being deeply into Japanese culture for about 40 years now I’ve come up with one conclusion about Japanese having freedom with fashion that US (specifically) does not. Japan has a conservative ‘Japanese’ only group mentality where everyone is forced to be the same in personality, but are given freedom with artistic expression only if they follow the cultural mannerisms of Japan. The US has many cultures mixed together and everyone is culturally very different, but we try to be conformists with artistic expression, which fashion falls under. We are forced to fit into one of the allowed groups but cannot experiment outside these groups visions freely, without being outcasts. This of course excludes places where the outcasts used to go to create their new visions and subcultures, like NYC.

I like how they can be inspired by something study it to a point make it there own and in some regards do it better then the item or genre that inspired them

Whenever I travel to Japan and look at what's in their department stores, noticed the clothing prices are 1.5 to 2x the price outside Japan. Even for unkown brands. I got the notion that the Japanese will only buy a few clothes and make them last as long as they can. So quality and durability is a requirement for them. Am I right? Also they usually follow just one general style and won't mix and match. And thier style becomes timless in the process. They are masters of layering. Which is unfortunatly not pratical in my tropical country.

thank you for educating me on Japanese culture! So much respect for them

The way Japanese adopt a lifestyle and submerge themselves doesn’t compare to anywhere else in the world. As Regi quoted Kenzo from head to toe every detail matters.

[sbaumgartner]

I love the long grey and white pieces the woman at 1:47 is wearing. Classic with very clean lines.

[janicevin]

I did not know it came from Japan but I love clean lines in fashion design as well as a minimalist approach. whatever brand it is.

[iamfreshcloset]

I definitely learned a lot watching your vid. Very well put together and educational! I want to start incorporating other cultures into my personal style this year.

[Devananta-Rafiq]

The quality keep getting better and better!

[darkinetix]

My issue is I’ve always loved the style but have the hardest time finding pieces that are affordable for me (not cheap/fast fash)

[shimbunmaru]
