Ethical Fashion

• The latest fashion show in Tokyo shows an ethical
  type of fashion that looks environmentally

  huge these days.

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 zori 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.

• 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 uniformsshorts for boys
  and skirts for girlslike 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 womans 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.
