Japanese Fashion…
I have read many quality fashion related content. While studying abroad, I’ve noticed a couple of differences in fashion culture compared to the U.S. The one place I haven’t gone YET is Japan. Japan is the most diverse and experimental when it comes to fashion. American fashion is known for “doing it’s own thing” or just making it our own when it comes to style and design. But when I look at Japans fashion scene, I often wonder if THEY should have gotten that reputation. Aside from the fact that Japan has a multitude of fashion subcultures, they also kill it when it comes to their magazines. CanCam, ViVi, IF, WITH, FUDGE; Japanese Fashion magazines are all inspiring. The ones geared towards the younger generations maybe teens to late 20’s are extremely…DOPE! The styling is imaginative and daring. And their magazines are just so full and heavy with pure fashion…I LOVE IT! I’d so love to guess edit for CanCam or ViVi one day. The only issue I have is that when I buy Japanese magazines back to back, the styling can seem redundant. You start to see the same styling and even products, That’s why I only purchase one or two for the season. Also, the Japanese fashion mags are the most expensive ones I own ($20 an issue). According to one of my friends who live in Japan, there are many many more that are not easily accessible. That’s why I must plan a trip to Japan. It’s a must! Until then, I’ll admire them from a far :).
