Japanese fashions

[smiles inter]

Hey everybody
I am doing a project on the japanese culture and I really need to know more about the Japanese fashions and any other thing that you think is necessary

[Dennis]

Your local library and/or bookstore should have books on this topic.

Dennis is right, but I feel inclined to help you with this link:

Japanese Fashion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Fashion)

Good luck with your project! :D

What kind of fashions? Street fashion or the avant-garde couture?

I did a tiny article about two Japanese supermodels in my blog:

(Yes, that was shameless plugging.)

Are you talking about traditional Japanese dress as well as modern?

[mantha]

well, maybe you should specify what japanese fashion you are talking about. ^-^;;; street-fashion? cosplay? traditional? kimono? that kind of stuff.

anyway, good luck!!! ^o^

I will just explain a few stuff I know :

- Japanese traditional and national dress known as Kimono for females and Yukata for males. Often used on Japanese traditions celebration such as the summer festival.
- After Anime make its booming in Japan, Japanese youth are not dressing into Anime or known as Cosplay [ costume play ]. Not just their cloth but also their hair style and many accessories from Anime are placed on their cloth, school bag, hair or body such as ring, neclace, bracelet, hair pin, etc.

That is what I know.

You must be not THINKING before you talk, because saying ALL means no exception including babyes and old peoples.
Or you are dreaming right now about what you said.

Don't forget the dead people either, even the one's who died before Levis Jeans were invented.

People lived before Levis?

[soundchazer]

People lived before Levis?

Most likely, and they were probably sad because they didn't get to wear them. I should know... I was there when it happened. ;)
