Shibuya


The symbol of Shibuya would be the Shibuya 109 (ichi-maru-kyu) shopping centre. All the shops in this building cater to teens and young people. The boutiques in the Shibuya 109 building sell many very trendy clothes.
Shibuya is the birth place of many fashion trends like the Kogyaru or Ganguro fashion.

Harajuku is another hip district that has developed into a fashion town. The atmosphere in Harajuku is more relax than in Shibuya, its Takeshita Street (itakeshita-dori) is popular among the Japanese teens.
Takeshita Street is a narrow street, always full with young fashionable teens and crammed with fashion boutiques and cafes along the street. It represents the cutting edge of fashion in Japan. All the latest street fashion can be seen here and can be bought at the boutiques.

During the weekends, especially Sunday, the bridge from Harajuku station to Yoyogi Park is full of Japanese dressed in the Gothic Lolita fashion. The youths who have dressed up are just hanging out with friends; but many of them come with the hope of being snapped by magazine photographers who mingle in the crowd.



There are also many other fashion districts in Japan, districts like Ginza, Daikanyama, Omotesando and many more. So go to these fashion districts and show off your fashion, who knows you may be the next person who starts off a fashion trend in Japan.

Fashion: Decora (デコラ(dekora))

Decora is a word shortened from the English word "Decoration". It’s one of the fashion styles in Japan other than Gothic Lolita and Ganguro. In the Decora fashion, many accessories are worn; as a result people will be able to hear a Decora-chan coming due to the clanging of the accessories against each other.

Below are some pictures for Decora:




Decora can range from extremely bright, neon colors to a more muted and demure stylish layered look. It consists of tons and tons of hair clips, bracelets, and multiple layers of different patterned socks, tights, skirts, and shirts. Some people may like decora as they find that decora is cute and they like it because it’s colourful and very different from the other fashion styles.
Other fashion trends have several rules to follow, but there are no rules for Decora. You can mix and match any accessories to get your Decora look but to make it perfect it requires some practising and experience in mixing and matching.
