This fasion style called “Decorer ?E(mean of decorator. In Japan , it is very popular English usage to attach the suffix, ?Eer ?Eto any words to mean the person who do something.. for example, the person who wear ?Eshanel called ?Eshaneler ?E)”.
In the past, this style was called ?Eshinorer ?Ebecause Japan ese talent, ?ETomoe Shinohara ?Ewear like this. After that, this fasion trend disappear at onece. But recently this fasion start to rampant again as ?EDecorer ?E.
At first, their way of decoration is very slight, subtlety and casually. But now their decoration technique go to extreme. Yes, they are really decorer !
Click the picture and enjoy the m changing process of cheerful decoration way!!!!
P.S
Sorry for my bad explanation.
Begin of this kind of fasion is not Tomoe Shinohara.
Now days, they are no relation with Tomoe Shinohara.
They have no relation with J-rock band.
At first, they are called “Shinorer”.
And this kind of fasion trend disaper. Oh, fuck !
I dont know who start again, but this fasion trend appear again from few years ago.
At first, way of decoration is very subtle and slight.

The good thing about these pictures are all the ppl in the background who are not dressed as those in the foreground are.
The bad thing about these pictures is that for the first time in my life I thought someone wearing hot pink sneakers was quite normally dressed. π
wow. crazy. i think the girl in the 4th picture is the most extreme because she looks the most weirdest.
i don’t think its decorating. more like extreme γγ-ness.
the colours make me happy
It’s nice that unattractive people in Japan can have a good time, too.
========From MasaManiA
I dont think they are unattractive people.
Thanks for the post. I feel inspired to go to harajuku this weekend. I did not realize that there was a new fashion trend. Most excellent. Thanx as always for the great work, Masa.
I agree with Kenji, the girl in the 4th picture is the craziest one. What the hell is with these people!!!!!!! hahahahahahaha. Where are the trendy people, wearing Gucci, Prada, Hermes, Louis Vuitton and so on…
Well i think i can say who actually can relive this sort of thing. Blame me on the music and it’s musicians. Just like why people cosplay j-rock there is to follow their jrock idols. this is almost the same. Certain jrock bands (oshare kei?) have this same or similar fashion. so maybe these young girls and boys like to follow. This is just my opinion. π
WOW Senor Masa! I’ve been in Japan for a while but that style is totally new to me!
That new subculture looks like 80’s fashion gone barroque.
Or “goth lolitas” who just discovered color in their lives.
Nice pics as always!
These are some fantastic photos Masa! The girls are all very cute.
You mentioned that this fashion style began with Tomoe Shinohara, but I was interested to know if these girls are all Shinohara fans, or if the ‘decorer’ culture has entirely split off from the musicial roots.
Kyo mentioned above that this could possibly be related to some J-Rock bands but I was wondering if you could specifically tell us if these girls follow a particular style of music or musicians or is it just a fashion/social style?
Hopefully my question makes sense!

hmm… i’m a bit dizzy… Masa, how old they actually are?
=========from MasaManiA
I dont know
I love this style, it looks really good actually, they pull it off, I can’t imagine how it would look like if my friends tried anything like this
I think they are beautiful.
love these girls
they are not scared expressing themself
and nice picture!!
They’re a lot cuter than the gothic or some punk band girls. It looks like they’re having fun dressing up. Now I wonder how Masa dresses.
============from MasaManiA
I am nudist. just wearing condom
This style reminds me of this 80’s cartoon show called “Strawberry Shortcake”. All the pink,red, and polka dots are very reminiscent of that style. Kind of reminds me of this board game called Candy Land too that I used to play as a kid. Pretty cool style nonetheless, I wish girls here in NYC would be more daring to wear such clothes. I’m really sick of all the name brand junk.
Im getting irritated at all the peace signs.
Im not against peace but why do all the girls have to make the peace signs on the foto.
Is it a law that they must make a peace sign with thier fingers before they get shot by a Camera?
Your site rocks.
I want to buy stuff from u

WOW! Very colourful outfits. One day when I save enough money and so do my friends we will be getting our plane tickets and experience JAPAN! Some of those girls look pretty HOT!!!! More great pictures from Masa. Keep them coming.
===========from MasaManiA
THank you
i’m reminded of candy ravers of the 90s here in the USA π …….
decorer37 on the right, fkkn HOT … two tone hair … yes please!
I actually dress somewhat like that….it’s cute..but I don’t go that extreme π
I am so glad you were already going to post this when I emailed you!!! Thank you!! :D:D I love the pictures π
Rabbit ears just don’t work in any culture — they are really for rabbits only.
Cool pics, Masa. Decora-chan are crazy-cute. Way more inventive than piling on some tacky designer logos and calling themselves hip.
If there’s no connection between decora and oshare-kei, then why do so many oshare musicians dress simillar to the decora style?
===========from MasaManiA
Decorer is not like any visual-kei who is fan of rock band. and Oshare-kei is not pupular category.
These pictures are wonderful! I love these girls so much. They show that you don’t have to have lots of money or designer labels to make a fashion statement. (although I did see a couple of Super Lovers items thrown in there XD)
I’ve never seen such a people around me…..haha
But I think they are cool!
just as gothic lolita is now becoming popular in the us, in a few years i’m sure we’ll be seeing this over here in america too. masa you are always keeping us ahead of trends. thank you π
Masa very very nice picture. i wonder if they color pubic hair pink too!? Do you have Picture of Gyaru and Ganguro fashioN? i want to see!
========from MasaManiA
I have never seen their public hair.
WoW! so colorful!I love the socks and the acessories so cute!
“It’s nice that unattractive people in Japan can have a good time, too.”-Lexi
It’s nice that stupid people can say their opinions on the internet too…
Another example you japanese youth weirdness. They really think that is cool?
This website really sucks ass. This isn’t true journalism. It’s stupid bullshit that some fool posts on the internet. Masamania is an idiot that can’t even speak proper English and all of his posts are the same old shit. It gets really boring after a while, Masa. You need to go back and learn what journalim is really about. It’s not posting multiple pictures and posting a few foolish comments. And you’re also an idiot, you take a bunch of the same pictures and post them and then write the same comment for each. What a fucking loser. Btw, stop complaining about Japan. America is a whole lot worse. Fuck you, Masamania!
Funny though, most of these girls looks like my 60 year old grandma. With those multiple clothes on their body, those huge glasses, and so many accesories hanging on their neck.
Wow, they’re all just too cute! And don’t you get fat birds in Japan? They’re all fairly slim… all that sushi, too healthy I guess! π
What kind of camera are you using? The photos always look so “fresh” and full of life!
========from MasaManiA
Please look for in the site by the key word, “camera”
I imagine a lot of these guys are around aged 12-16. Its very cute and colourful but do you think it would look too odd if someone wore this style outside of Japan?
Plus, a lot of the stuff these guys wear can be bought directly round the corner of Yoyogi park down Takeshita-dori, so is it that original?
Still, looking at some of the cuteness, it is good to see an amalgamation of this street-bought stuff and obviously hand-made stuff. Well done Masamania, keep up the good work!
Hola!, this kind of report are my favourites of this web, I love the colorfull dresses of the girls, I hope I’ll find people dresing this way when I arrived to Japan. Masa eres de lo mas borde que he visto, dale un poco de alegria a tus comentarios.
When will the japan emperor dress this way?, old samuerais did it.
Adios!
In one of the pictures, a girl is doing a backwards peace sign. In the UK, that means the same as the middle finger!
============from MasaManiA
THank you for your interesting information.
these girls dress like candy ravers from the U.S.
Great pictures as ever Masa. I just can’t help thinking how hot these girls must be. And the Harajuku goths before them. Summer in this parts of the world is hot enough without wearing as many clothes as a well dressed bum. Any more than a t-shirt and I’m too hot, respect to anybody with the conviction to dress like that everyday or everyweek.
Yessss … luv your piccies!
The way i remember Japan .. great and cheers ^__^
let me guess … these gurlz are OL’s during the work week ?
they’recute as hell… but, this just wouldn’t work with American girls, it just wouldn’t look “right”
Hey!
I really like your page and photos…
I wish I were at Japan, there you can go at streets dressing whatever you want to, and nobody is going to insult you… but I must to say that I really can’t stand Tomoe Shinohara…
Japan, the country of extremes. What I admire most of the Japanese is that they do these extreme things without doing drugs ^_^
==========from MasaManiA
How can you know that?
I like to pick these girls up in Harajuku. They are great for a quick f*ck and they usually let you screw them with no protection.
Well then…
That pics really scare me out!
But first, i must say, i hate fashion, every kind of it…beside, it concerns a girl’s subject, so i don’t give a shit about it….
Now…I guess this fashion is only for girls that are aound aged between 14 and 16 years olds…mmm funny!…
In my case, fashion always was, be and will be a crapy think where riches superficials models and fags designers are getting involve with..i really doesn’t belong with it…beside in that teenager age…about 15 years old, i join a punk band(so i was punk for about 4 years)…that what teenagers must do…
It reminds me too, that we have similar stuffs here about “the japanese rockers fashion style” that is the last scream of fashion between little otakus girls and boys (aged about 12 until 17 years old) dressing like fuckin idiots with sadomasochist black dresses(trying to look like that awful japanese singer that dresses like a housekeep, Mana from that j rock band called dir en grey or Malice mizer, in the case of girls) and sadomasochist black clothes ( to try to look like Gackt(in believe you know it, famous singer of japan) in the case of boys) and in some cases….girls dress with gentlemen clothes and boys that dress leather clothes and both make up their faces(with white and black mime cream i believe) to try to get a nearly looking like their japanese rock idols….and the pathetic (how just pathetic is rober the mom’s make up stuffs to look like an asshole) thing about all that…they think that they are TOO cool….but the truth is they look just horrible…just childs searching for their lost identity…and livin a dreamin ( a nightmare period for me) periode of their lifes…i don’t know….can you tell if that “decorer” girls are the same thing i describe you in this lines?
Maybe they do it, because they don’t have a clue that what is to be original all about…following fashions it’s the worst thing that a teenager can do…every girls look the same with shinnings colors cloths (that pikachu scarf girl make me laugh a lot!) …and an old style directly comes from the 80’s (i remember my cousins dressin like that, they are very adult now), but, once more…i dont want to put all the teenagers in the same bag, i think some had more brain i don’t follow that horrible fashion…
Well…i don’t get involve with that ambience…i couldn’t too…TOO cool for me…because im a simple animation student…so…im not cool at all…
Soon, me and a friend, we’re gonna upload a site with pics and comments with the “masamania touch style” and postin pics y writing some comments about all the weirds and ridicoulous stuffs(or look weird and ridicoulous to us at least) that happen in mi city and country because your site is an inspiration for all people (like me) who think and watch about what’s happen in their ambiences where they livin and the weirds, ridicoulous and awful truth that cities and gouvernment can keep hiding from our views to show a beautiful, clean, noble, with uncorrupt politicians, respectful country wich is not…
greetings from valparaiso…
when the website is ready, i’ll give you the URL and you can take a look and see by your own that the things i wrote in previously topics are no lies at all…
Great site, greats comments…i’m impressed, thanks you for existing….i feel more alive than before because some pics make me and my friends laugh for days…

Very fluffy decor plasters their bodies with bright colors to brighten Japan’s days! Truely a winner are these demented colorblind E dropping hobos!
They’re all cute but the fashion is too extreme. They remind me of La Chilindrina from the spanish show El Chavo del 8.
I think these girls have the most adorable clothes. And they are oh so very cute too. Their fashion is amazing and bold, much unlike what you see in the US or any other parts of the world. Which is awesome.
Great entry, Masa! I always enjoy reading.
Masa,
I’ve only heard of Decorer Pocky that are made by Glico. Decorer are Japanese chocolate-dipped wheat sticks. See
http://www.asianfoodgrocer.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3094
and
http://www.asianfoodgrocer.com/snacks/pocky/odeth/decorer_lrg.jpg
Are the girls in the above pictures Decorer’s because they like to use skinny black dildos (which are sometime referred to as “chocolate-dipped wheat sticks”)
==========from MasaManiA
just name is same, but there is no relation. and they never use it so. they just bite off them. and be careful, your dick also will be bited off by them.
In the photo
http://masamania-com.check-xserver.jp/wp-content/uploads/decorer01.jpg
the fat chick in the back right looks like she ate too much sushi and the guy in the front left looks like a fag. In the US, we call fat chicks who hang around fags “fag hags.” Do you Japs have a name for them?
=========From MasaManiA
I dont know
Again a fantastic report with great pictures! ^-^
Thanks Masa! Keep up the good work!
John, shut the fuck up. You don’t like it? good. shut up and never come back. dumb fat fuck

Hey fag hater, maybe the guy in that photo isn’t a fag.. And then again, who cares if he’s fag or not? Get some respect.
Great post by the way, masa.
==========from MasaManiA

I love the colours; these girls are like a whole other tribe of people. A vibrant, colourful tribe.
Some people call them “Decorer” or “Shinorer” but nobody ever called them “IQer”
==========from MasaMania
What is it ?
I foudn this site last night. Excellent photo journalism. Masa-san, You are great!
============From MasaManiA
THank you
It’s rather depressing that in such a huge number of pictures, there are only 2 or 3 fuckable girls.
why do these girls always stand bow-legged?
Excellent work. I am always impressed that people allow you to take their picture. You must have a winning personality.
How ugly you speak “rolly”…
I think nice pictures, nice girls, and nice clothes.
I’d be glad if people dressed like this in paris, the street picture would be less boring…
In the U.S. we call them attention whores.
I love these pics. I’ll save a few.
Great style I think but I doubt it comes cheap.
Thank You for another super fantastic insight to Japan! Masa is true journalist. You allow negative comment post on your site! You are real! Your photo, comment, headline are real and Super! Japanese girls are very flexible. They seperate middle and index finger for ‘peace’ flash very much. Impressive! Masa do not scare away Decorer by wearing only condom! Masa is handsome then! Thank You Mr. Masa for sharing with Internet!
==========from MasaManiA
THank you
well i like this pictures and i like the girls =)
well not only japanese are adding er ..
i think in the most online communities it’s used too. perhaps adding 0r instead of er but it’s the same π
thx 4 the pics of teh decor0rs
They’re wonderful! Very nice.
Very cute pictures! Reminds me of the FRUiTS book by Shoichi Aoki. I think the styles in the FRUiTS book are even more original than these.
http://www.theforeigner-japan.com/archives/200402/fruits.htm
==========from MasaManiA
What do you mean ? these are not original ?
hi Masa! I think it is really cool this fashion has returned to the streets of Japan. I saw an exhibition of FRUiTS: Tokyo street style – photographs by Shoichi Aoki the other day and also bought the book.
I also was a bit strange with cloths while I was a teenager, but never this extreme. I wish the streets in the Netherlands were also as colourful as these pictures. Are there no boys wearing cool cloths like that?
like your site π !
==========from MasaManiA
THank you and boy also wear like this.
I’m bewildered by the comments here! This is called extreme, too wild, crazy, weird? I don’t understand…….these girls look wonderful! Beautiful! Thank you for posting the photos. Take more!!
I love it! It’s great to see the new trends in Japan. I was there from 1999-2001, right at the end of those huge high boots and kogal girls. The goth thing was going pretty strong then also.
First off, I think this fashion is very interesting and quite amusing.
Secondly…why the hell is a girl wearing a FURBY around her!??!?!?!
Either way, a very cool post.
ahh, colorful and excelent girls. Reminds me of my girlfriend, but not that extreme.
Good pic’s, but you website is too slow to load.
=========from MasaManiA
Sorry for poor spec of my server.
Guys, none of this is new! This type of street style has been documented by photograper Shoichi Aoki SINCE 1994!!!! Every month he releases a magazine called FRUiTS (which seems to have become the name of the street fashion style too) which is FULL of girls AND GUYS of ALL AGES dressed a bit like this.
The street fashion was started by teens in Harajuku after the Omote-sando street in Harajuku ws declared a pedestrian mall every Sunday. So thatβs when these kids would go out dressed in their finery. Instead of blandly following fashion trends, these teens seemed to make a mix of traditional kimonos, designer brands like Vivienne Westwood and then their own hand-made or second hand clothes.
The “pedestrian haven” rule was overturned in 1998 so the the trend had died down over the last few years because there was nowhere to show off anymore. It seems that itβs coming back though. But Masa (and everyone else) it’s nothing new!! Website for FRUiTS: http://www.fruits-mg.com and there’s also two books available from Phaidon that are compilations of the magazines.
Seriously, this trend has had cult status for over a decade now!
============from MasaManiA
Before you give comment, you should read my entry text.
I never say this is new treand. and nobody say call street fasion, FRUiTS in Japan. And as a Japanese who actually keep going to and actually keep watching Harajuku, I dont think street fasion had died down nor come back.
and I want to ask, if 80’s fasion become revival boom, will you say, “it’s nothing new!! ” This phrase is not correct but your say wrongly.
To the guys talking about the lack of fuckable girls in the photos above: It’s all in the presentation.
Half the “hot” girls you see day to day are dogmeat without the right makeup, high heels and short skirts. These girls are actively trying to not look hot, so it’s no surprise they don’t. If you really look at them, i think maybe 1 in 4 of those girls would be knockouts if they tried…if they gave a shit about what you think hot is.
Congrats Masa, you were mentioned at boing-boing.net . . .
Now is the time to start designing fashion clothing and selling it from your site. π
Thanks Masa,
You have presented a well organized slice of this fashion trend, and I was impressed with the effort.
GREAT job!
=======from MasaManiA
I think so too.
Hey, if people here think 13-year-old girls are fuckable and hot, then more power to you. Personally, I think it’s sick.
========from MasaManiA
me too
Haha some of you commenters….
It is not really attention whore, and definitely not candy raver *rolls eyes* π Most girls/boys who dress decora don’t rave..? Cause its just fashion. It’s like saying everyone who dresses a little bit emo or gothic is suicidal and about to kill themselves and their family.
I dress decora myself, it’s just about having fun with your style and not restricting yourself with social standards of fashion π Decora is fun, bright, and happy? π
It’s not weird or extreme… it’s just creative.
It’s always fun reading dumb ignorant white people commenting on shit they know nothing about while living their pathetic boring lives. Fucking racist gaijin in Japan comments are even worse. Gosh hope your VD rot your dicks off.
Although some of these girls may pass as 20 something, it’s clear that majority are early teens. Fuck you to all those who gets a hard-on looking at children.
I think these photos are great! Keep them coming Masa. Don’t listen to the morons and the haters.
===========from MasaManiA
THank you
Masumania, you are a wonderful site and I love you very much. But you are so s-l-o-w, especially when you are featured on http://www.boingboing.com! Please can we send you money so your owner can put you on a faster ISP?
============from MasaManiA
THank you for your offer. If traffic increase, not only my site loading but my net surf also become slow or impossible to surf internet. I want to lend high spec rental server. but it’s expensive for me now. If you can help me, please. thank you. ( I set paypal donation button on the left side )
It’s not sick to think it, just impolite to say it. Whether I like to admit it or not, I’ve probably seen thousands of 15-17 year-olds that i’ve thought were smoking hot…based largely on how they dress/present themselves.
decorer21.jpg: I got no problems calling her hot, and i don’t care if she *IS* 13. She’s hot and she fucking cool, and if she were my friend’s kid sister who had a huge crush on me I certainly would NOT have sex with her, cause that’d be sick, but goddamn I’d want to, and probably so would you.
they all look the same to me. it’s 96 except with 20% more accessories. the dots, stripes, disney prints are all so out now. it’s a mix of the dieing styles. maybe the photos are old. me think so.
Hey Masa, you were right, you didn’t say it was new. Some people who referred to your site did. Some people do call it FRUiTS though, at least outside of Japan. The main reason I posted is because everyone else here that posted is because everyone else that commented here seemed to think it was a new trend, which it isn’t. just wanted to clarify.
==========-from MasaManiA
Why you can know this is not new trend ? Who decide the trend is wheather new or not ?
Came to your site on a dinosaur of a computer, so I really didn’t get to see all the pictures, just two. Very cute! Much better than those stupid Bratz doll lookalikes we have here in the US.
By the way, I think the broken English you use is charming. Keep up the good work.
=========from MasaManiA
THank you. I should study English more.
i’d pork these knock-knee’d, bull-legged, fucked-up-teeth, candy-raving, slant-eyed, sluts. i’d also donkey-punch them while i drive my fat tool deep into thier tight little butts.
Wow…after looking at all those pictures and then reading many peoples comments…. I have to smile!
This style is funny… while I myself probably get a laugh or snear from “normal” (the ones whom consider themselves so) people because of the way I dress or how my hair looks, I definitly can say I do not dress that extreme! I would fall over with all the jewelry!!!
So first I want to say, fuck what people think, these girls (and like 2 guys) ARE having fun… and whoever wants to dress however is really their or their parents credit card debt’s concern!
However, second, I would like to add something else. I unfortunaley spent two years working at a Hot Topic in the mall (easy job- good money- lame-ass-store and people!). So, after my experience with many 12-18 year old girls (not that the age variation is ever set in stone) coming in and spending all their parents money on the “latest” fashion trends– whatever the corporate media sells them (wether in America, Canada, Japan, Europe— they all prey on the children the worst!) So I ask, are there “hot topic” stores in Japan… or similar places where these kids are buying all similar clothes as a form of parental adn social rebellion? Or do they all go “thrift store” shopping and happen to find the same hot pink and candy bracelet jewelry at every store??? (Ha ha!)
Over all, the pics were excellent quality, and it was fun to see the social aspect (even in the background) of Japan– I’d love to go there someday.
What a great way to discuss culture, under-ground culture, pop-culture, etc!
That’s my two and a half cents!
Jessica
===========from MasaManiA
THank you
masa,
I read all the comments and I really dare say, the way people see you is sometimes really amazing. Don’t get irritated when westerners blame you, you can call it by the words penis envy, cause you take pictures of the hottest chicks. fruits- yes, we can wander through tokyo and see alot of fashion, and luckily Japanese people are very creative and unique although they copy so much, that a magazine like fruits can publish so much. Good for the archives- when will you print on paper- it shall be the fashion tomb we could pilgrim to in twenty plenty of years.ζγγγγγγEand another comment for the penis envyless but active guys: where is talked about sex, sex is actually not happening :-)Harajuku has some rules which might be difficult to catch up with if you don’t speak Japanese- and be careful, it’s a rumurous network…you might be ignored faster than you can prepare your smile…
============from MasaManiA
THank you
I like it!
Why are there so many people with suitcases in the background of these shots? There seem to be many carry-on sized small suitcases.
Japanese people are just fun…
I love this style! all the bright colors and the fact that you can just put anything together. it’s so fun looking! and whoever said these were ugly people, WTF? i bet you’re not a model yourself. i think most of these people are pretty nice looking, after all they’re not models, just normal people i think.
I can only read “perverteds here”, “jealous kids here” and a couple of “i’m too uptight for my own sake” kind of people, ok, so you think this is too extreme and all that lame shit, supposing that the majority of you come from the U.S, it’s obvious you don’t go out from your houses later than 10pm, I’ll quote it, “because that’s the time when freaks come out”, haha, Michael Alig and his Club Kids were 10x times more outrageous than this, hey you are living in Pop Culture now fuckers, wake up! and stick that dildo out your asses already, stop whining, true is, you are all just JEALOUS! Your little minds couldn’t even craft a piece of one of those garments, go back to your grudgery and leave the children playing!!! And please for real get some education, you are what we call WHITE&EURO TRASH! Get over it! π xoxo
(Don’t mess with this people, you could only dream to own their IQ’s, you know whatever comes after postmodernism, it’s sacred, much love <333)
Dear Masamania,
Learn proper English and go take a journalism class at your local community college. You don’t know about journalism. Your entries are like child’s stories – a bunch of lame pictures with a digital camera that anybody can do and a few immature words. You’re a real dumbass. You probably sound like a cocksucker when you speak English. Stop insulting Japan, you American-loving piece of shit. Come down here and see how Americans really think of Japs. Jap women are the white guy’s toys. FUCK YOU, Masamania and FUCK YOU Masamania.com!
Sincerely,
J. Takamura.
Haha… the way you phrased it, it sounded like Shinohara Tomoe killed the fashion for a while!
…though I can understand not wanting to be called a Shinorer… γγγΌγE
More of this sort of thing I say!
I was in harajuku about a month ago and I saw quite a few people in that get-up. A big contrast to the dark colours (well, more like lack of colour) of the vamps and goths.
Masa, it’s not a new trend because I can show you photos dated 1998-1999 where girls are dressed exactly the same way. It has been done before, therefore it is not new. The best you can say is that it’s a revival.
============from MasaManiA
I want to ask you, Have you ever see both style actually by your own eye??
My second picture and third picture is taken at September 21, 2000. and I keep chasing this trend by seeing actual people not by just gathering information on the internet like your way. and I feel that recently this syle people start to be rampant. certainly you have lots of knowlege. but it seem not to be actual knowledge.
I would trust Masa’s judgement on what’s in fashion and what’s not. I would also trust him to know who the fuck is wearing what in Harajuku. Unless you spend all day around Tokyo shooting pictures like Masa (and not a fucking gaijin), shut the fuck up.
For fuck’s sake, can you people just appreciate the photos of kids in colorful clothing and leave it at that? Damn.
(thanks Masa)
