    Street Fashion
    • The term 'Street Fashion'
    is used to describe
    fashion where the wearer
    personally customizes the
    outfits by adopting a
    mixture of current and
    traditional trends. Such
    clothes are generally
    home-made with the use
    of material bought from
    the stores.

    Kimono
    • Kimonos are T-shaped, straight-lined robes that fall to
    the ankle, with collars and wide, full-length sleeves.
    Kimonos are wrapped around the body, always with
    the left side over the right (except when dressing the
    dead for burial) and secured by a wide belt called an
    obi, which is usually tied at the back. Kimonos are
    generally worn with traditional footwear (especially
    zōri or geta) and split-toe socks (tabi).[3]
    • Today, kimonos are most often worn by women, and
    on special occasions. Traditionally, unmarried women
    wore a style of kimono called furisode,[3] which have
    floor-length sleeves, on special occasions. A few older
    women and even fewer men still wear kimonos on a
    daily basis. Men wear kimonos most often at
    weddings, tea ceremonies, and other very special or
    very formal occasions. Professional sumo wrestlers
    are often seen in kimonos because they are required to
    wear traditional Japanese dress whenever appearing in
    public. They commonly wear the kind of casual
    Japanese attire that is referred to as yukata, which is
    of plain unlined cotton.

    Japanese Fashion Through Years

    1899 1950 1960

    1970 1990 2000


    • Upper-class and noble women were the first to embrace
    Western dress from head to toe, wearing elaborate
    gowns at government balls.
    • Men soon abandoned kimonos for trousers and jackets.
    • Public schools required uniforms—shorts for boys and
    skirts for girls—like those worn by students attending
    mission schools.
    • As women ventured out more into society, trendsetters
    chose Western clothes, which not only offered greater
    freedom of mobility but were also vastly easier to put on
    than kimonos.
    • By the late 1920s a new woman emerged, known as
    moga, the Eastern counterpart of the Western flapper.
    With her bobbed hairdo flying in the face of the age-old
    belief that a woman’s long, black tresses were her most
    prized possession, she exuded an up-to-date, stylish
    confidence.
    Ganguro
    • In ganguro fashion, a deep tan
    is combined with hair dyed in
    shades of orange to blonde, or
    a silver gray known as "high
    bleached". Black ink is used as
    eyeliner and white concealer is
    used as lipstick and eye
    shadow. False eyelashes,
    plastic facial gems, and pearl
    powder are often added to this.
    Platform shoes and brightly-
    colored outfits complete the
    ganguro look. Also typical of
    ganguro fashion are tie-dyed
    sarongs, miniskirts, and lots of
    bracelets, rings, and
    necklaces.
