80 Tokyo Street Styles at Tokyo Fashion Week
Which are your favorite street style looks from Tokyo Fashion Week? We spent more than a full week shooting street style in neighborhoods all over Tokyo - from Shibuya, Aoyama, Omotesando, and Harajuku to Odaiba, Ueno, and in some locations we still aren’t sure where we were. Part of the excitement of Tokyo Fashion Week is racing between runway shows to try to catch the street style of guests as they enter and leave. We have a lot of fun seeing people from all over the world - photographers, fashion week guests, and non-Tokyo-based Japanese fashion students and industry people who we only see twice a year during Tokyo Fashion Week. This season, we were lucky that Japanese designer Mikio Sakabe returned to the Tokyo Fashion Week schedule, holding a massive runway show and party at the famous Yoyogi National Stadium in Harajuku. While Fashion Week in Tokyo will likely never rival Paris (the biggest Japanese designers all show in Paris or New York rather than locally), it’s a great time to see lots of unique street style around the city. Please leave a comment to let us know what you think of these looks and whether you’d like to see more (we shot 500+ looks). Thank you for reading and for watching and see you in Tokyo!!

Harajuku Street Style Interview: Taiwanese Punk Singer & Kawaii Fashion Designer
Please leave feedback to let Yen know what you think of her interview! Yen (@t.yen_ ) is a Taiwanese punk singer, guitarist, and kawaii fashion lover who moved to Tokyo to study at Bunka Fashion College. We met her in Harajuku while she was studying Japanese and working at the famous kawaii boutique 6%DOKIDOKI. Yen’s style is unique, inspired by her eclectic background in both the Taiwanese punk scene and the Harajuku kawaii fashion scene. In addition to making clothes and playing music, Yen is trilingual, so feel free to leave her a comment in English, Taiwanese, or Japanese. Let Yen know what you think of her interview, if you’re ready to start a band with her, and let us know who from the Harajuku scene you’d like to see interviewed in the future. Thank you for watching and for your nice comments!

Happy 2024 everyone!! The start of the new year in Japan means shrine visits and the Coming of Age Day (Seijin no Hi) holiday. On Coming of Age day every January, Japanese young people who have reached the age of 20 celebrate adulthood by dressing up in traditional kimono or hakama, going to a local ceremony (usually in the town where they graduated from high school), visiting a shrine with family, and then partying late into the night with friends. We’ve been shooting kimono on Coming of Age day for many years, and while the number of young people in Japan has been declining and most men wear suits now instead of hakama, Seijin no Hi is still the only day of the year when you’re guaranteed to see large numbers of Japanese people out and about in beautiful kimono (and kimono formal hair/makeup) in Tokyo. Please leave a comment to congratulate all of the new adults we met on Coming of Age Day 2024 and let us know what you think of the photos and the holiday!! Everyone we know is tagged in the photos. We have a lot more kimono photos that we’ll try to post soon.
Harajuku Street Style Interview with Rising Japanese Fashion Designer Haruki
Please leave feedback to let Haruki know what you think of his interview! Haruki Osawa (@fomore_o_hrk ) is a Japanese fashion student and designer whose unique sense of style - especially around denim and remake kimono - has become popular in Harajuku over the last couple years. Haruki’s creations may sometimes seem extreme, but that’s because he is one of the most ambitious rising star designers in the Tokyo street style scene today. Ito (@ticomeba.ito ) decided to talk to Haruki and find out what makes him push further than most of the other aspiring designers. Part of that answer comes from the fact that Haruki took a non-traditional path to Tokyo’s famed Bunka Fashion College, working in a factory for several years to save enough money to chase his dreams. This coming weekend, Haruki will be showing his new creations at two popup shops - one in Tokyo and one in Los Angeles, California. Check his Instagram for details on both popups, as well as more information on his own brand! Please leave a comment to let Ito and Rei know what you think of his interview, and let us know who from the Tokyo scene you’d like to see interviewed in the future. Thank you for watching and for your comments! See you next time!

Harajuku Street Style Interview with Future Japanese Buddhist Monk
Please leave feedback to let Rei know what you think of his interview! Rei (@funny_vall ) is a Japanese theology student and popular personality in the Harajuku street style scene. We see Rei often, and his story is so fascinating that Ito (@ticomeba.ito ) asked him for a quick interview. Rei is not only fashionable - often incorporating traditional Japanese fashion into his looks - but he also has a personal story that is unique even in Harajuku. He comes from a family with a long history of becoming Japanese Buddhist priests. Japanese and raised mostly in Japan, one of his parents is American. Now studying to become a monk, he hopes to use his unique identity as an English-speaking mixed-culture person once he becomes a Buddhist priest. Please leave a comment to let Ito and Rei know what you think of his interview, and let us know who from the Harajuku scene you’d like to see interviewed in the future. Thank you for watching and for your comments! See you next time!

Harajuku Street Style Interview with Japanese Architecture Student Yossy
Please leave feedback to let Yossy know what you think of his interview! Yossy (@yossy.tercer_ ) is a Japanese architecture student with lots of friends in the Harajuku street style scene. We see Yossy around often, so Ito (@ticomeba.ito ) decided to ask him how he got into fashion, how fashion has changed his life, and more. Yossy recently flew to London for a six month stay, where he will study English and travel around Europe. If you’re a Londoner into Japanese fashion or architecture, consider sending him a message since he wants to make more fashion/architecture friends during his time in London. Please leave a comment to let Ito and Yossy know what you think of their interview, suggest improvements to the format, and recommend Harajuku people you’d like to see interviewed in the future. Thank you for watching and for your comments! See you next time!
