Japanese Fashion

[islandblossom]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a great Japanese fashion website? I've found a couple but none in particular that update frequently.

My favorite Japanese attire shopping site right now is http://yestyle.com.

I'm in love with the knee high boots and socks style! It's soooo cute!

i usually just go to ebay for cute japanese styled clothing
i found some good stuff on there, but stupid me i dont even have an ebay account lol!

 

[islandblossom]

thx snowwhite! that's a great suggestion, i can't believe i didn't even think about that.

if anyone else knows a great place where i can get japanese fashion "inspiration" from, that would be really helpful!

thanks in advance!

I've got a few, some as recommendations from J-fashion boards and some I stumbled upon myself.

I do alot of eBay for Japanese stuff. Most of what I wear from Japan is edgy, rocker street style though, so I'm not sure if that's what you're going for.

Japanese fashion is just too rich and beautiful. I'm addicted to the Fruits magazine and also do the gothic lolita bible magazine.

I love the trendy japanese girls. I always get magazines from Blenda, JJ and .etc. They are all so tanned and cute!

It sort of depends on what you're going for. If you want to wear the type of clothing that trendy Tokyo girls actually wear, look for CanCam magazine - that's like the fashion bible for the early 20's to early 30's set (the OL set). That's where I get all of my personal style from!

Some other good, cute magazines:

AneCam - CanCam's older sister magazine!
Seventeen (Japan) - Like cancam, except for teenagers.
JJ - the alternate CanCam. To me, it's a little more conservative.

If you want something a little more edgy (but not too crazy), try:

Pinky (For the older gal set - think "gal lite")
Cawaii (for the gal set)
Popteen (Kogals and some ganguro fashion)
Egg/Ego (Serious ganguro stuff)
At least, these are the impressions I get from reading them!

http://cutie.sushi-cat.net/index2.php?magazines - this site has a good listing of magazines. You can order them from here or at amazon!

If you want to actually shop, this is a good place! It's JJ's own webshop, with many different brands. If I were skinnier and shorter (and had more money) I'd shop there exclusively

EDIT: to navigate the webshop by article of clothing, use the center pulldown menu at the top. Here's a catagory breakdown from the top (with the name in japanese for those of you who have it supported in your browser)

アウタ = outerwear (second option)
トップス = tops (ninth option)
ワンピース = dresses (seventeenth option)
スカート = skirts (ninteenth option)
パンツ = pants (twenty-first option)
シュズ = shoes (twenty-third option)
アクセサリ = accessories (twenty-fifth option)
バッグ = bags (twenty-seventh option)
火物 = warm things like scarves (twenty-ninth option)

Everything else is just a sub-category. Just choose what you want from the menu and press the button at the far right. I don't -think- they ship overseas, but I've never really checked. I just see what I like and try to duplicate it with things found near me.

EDIT 2: Oh yeah, if you have a question, feel free to ask me about it ^_^

Japanese street style, updated weekly.

I'm not a big fan of Japanese fashion. Although I do admire some of those girl's bravery to try the most odd combinations.

There's this Japanese bookstore in Hawaii that sells Japanese magazines and that's what I use to be inspired by their fashion. I just bought one yesterday and the magazine is called Cawaii. Great layouts with trendy clothes, makeup/hair tutorials and nails! I can't ask for anything more! Too bad I can't read Japanese!

http://www.zipia.net is a Korean site, but they have photos of really cute outfits put together. Minimum $500 for purchases, but it's a good site for inspiration.

I do know of a really cute japanese magazine (which has the most adorable styles..)

http://joseishi.net/vivi

It's all in japanese, but if you click around you can see some pictures of the models/their spreads and previews of the magazines. And I know some commuities on livejournal post scans of it.

Here is an example of some of the clothes the models wear.

I love Japanese fashion. I still collect a lot of Fashion Magazines. I really miss living in Japan.

I love Zipia haha. I actually try to do regular orders with them, it's so hard not to splurge there.. Shipping is buttrape though, once it was about $100 for the $500 order -_-
