Coffee shop, short break after a traditional fabrics hunting with Christophe Prebois, the fashion designer of Brutals (stylish shirts for men).

A notebook on table : sketches and draws of Christophe’s travel in Japan. Some sketches look like photos. Others remind me the rythm of fabrics prints. I look at them, take pictures. Such beautiful illustrations!

Street Style

“Let’s walk in the woods, while the little blue hood … there! ” A week of real street looks: snapshots on the board below.

Between kawaii kawaiiiiiiii pink and holder Stockings in Harajuku, multicolored polka dots and green boots in Omotesando and eighties revival with slippers in Yoyogi Park. Coach, I sign for another week!

The Rockers of Yoyogi Park Vs The Shibuya Girls Fashion Shows

Right, I’ve often met the most xtreme rockers! Here are the dancers rockers of Yoyogi Park. Impressive mix of unique hairstyle with acrobatic jumps. They are the real “characters” of Yoyogi Park.

It was reckoning without the intrusion of Kawaii Land: why do these fashion teens rush with such frenzy? Fashion shows open to public.

If you want to check out the Shibuya girl style (the fashion tribe not the brand): visit the famous department store 109… in Shibuya of course!

Me, I can’t stand the bad techno musics loudly played in the differents shops there. Plus the chorus of non stop « sumimasen » shouted by salespersons. And I don’t like the outfits too, pretty boring. Harajuku is much more fun! 

DOMO ARIGATO TO ALL OF YOU!

Coffee shop, court break après une chasse aux tissus traditionnels avec Christophe Prébois, le créateur des chemises pour homme Brutals. 

Un carnet glisse sur la table : croquis et dessins de voyage au Japon, « cadrés » comme des photos. D’autres encore rythment la page comme les motifs d’un tissus. Je regarde, photographie. Superbes illustrations.

Tokyo style

« Promenons-nous dans les bois, pendant que… le petit chaperon bleu y est! » : une semaine de vrais street looks sur le tableau de snapshots ci-dessous.

Entre le kawaii kawaiiiiiiii rose pink et porte-jartelles d’Harajuku, les pois multicolores et les bottes vertes d’Omotesando et le réveil eighties en pantoufles à Yoyogi Park. Coach, je signe pour une nouvelle semaine!

Plutôt rockers du Yoyogi Park ou défilés de mode Shibuya Girls?

J’ai le chic pour tomber sur les rockers les plus improbables! Ces rockers danseurs sont les figures emblématiques du Yoyogi Park. Impressionnantes bananes et danse acrobatique, ponctuée de salto… 

C’était compter sans l’intrusion de Kawaii land : qu’est-ce qui fait courir les fashion teens avec tant de frénésie? Des défilés mode ouverts au public.

Pour une immersion dans le style Shibuya girl (la tribu mode, pas la marque) :  faîtes un saut au 109 (à prononcer : one – o – nine), l’incontournable grand magasin … à Shibuya. 

Perso, j’ai du mal : trop de cacophonie, enfilade de stands poussant à fond la sono, mauvaise techno. Et les « Sumimasen » criés non stop par des cohortes de vendeuses. Quant aux fringues : cheap et pas créatives. Harajuku est nettement plus folklo!

DOMO ARIGATO A TOUS!

Tokyo, Japan: A walk and Shopping in Harajuku

TOKYO CITY GUIDE : DISTRICT / HARAJUKU

Takeshi-Dori,

the pedestrianized famous street of Harajuku, I‘m not a big fan for shopping. Cheap bazaar for teenagers and teens alduts. Each tribe has its own shop.

There are also H&M and cie… near the super famous La Forêt building: metro station, Meiji-Jingumae or Harajuku. Let’s go “crazy” and jump in this streets maze, to discover some interesting shops.

I liked Jack‘s Vintage Clothing

for some 50-60’s Rock‘n Roll vintage outfits, accessories and shoes for women and men. Really cool owner , also the leader of a Punk Rock band.

Have you ever tried a Japanese Punk Rock Karaoke? I DID! Kind of a blaze for my ears! But it was really fun too, Lol! For the complete adress of the shop: [email protected]

Stop at the next door in the very inspiring Nihon Manga Fetichist Shop: so what do you do after school or job? (pictures below).

Myself and I become a Manga babe.

A trashy suga babe inspired by Japanse cartoons, with fluorescent pink and green lens. It started here in Tokyo years ago, as a Pokemon acid princess. “Oups!” : metallic eyelash fluttering, I stood on my 50 cm lemon platform shoes.

When I got in the shop, they  were shooting a flyer. Domo arigato gosaimasu to Aya, Coco and all the team. And if you are really sweet, maybe I will post a picture of me dressed up like a Manga doll, surrounded by all my supa supa cool Pokemon friends : )

Then let’s cross Meji Street

to reach the underground fashion designers side and head at my Beams favourite concept store (which is more a gallery and bookshop): TOKYO CULTuART by BEAMS

Thank you Katsuhiro for the Beams shops guided tour! The toys for willing grown-up are extremely tempting!

I’m still a huge fan of the Transformer “Cyubu 01″ of Moderhythm (picture below) and colourful plastic mini bike monsters (pictures above), so great!
