Favorites from Tokyo Fashion 2012

[ F a s h i o n & J a p a n ]
Compared to my past self, who only knew how to read and inform myself about specific street fashions, I've been a lot more aware about international trends and more aware of what goes on in the streets of Japan. If anything, this year I reconfirmed where my inspiration resides and in which direction it takes me. It doesn't matter how Europe still leads fashion in term of production, the twist that Japan gives to global trends and its own unique street styles makes it a one-of-a-kind.
Japan is over all bold, unique, funky and fresh.
They know how to do sexy without being vulgar, pile up textures and colors without making you go blind, being cute without making you develop a phobia to sugar and make you feel dreamy with soft and creamy colors, textures and themes.
Since long ago I've been a frequent visitor of the site Tokyo Fashion but this year I made a promise to myself to check daily what's going on in the other side of the world. -of course, when you're into something, don't forget to check Tumblr, other blogs and other websites-.
