Someone in that article's comments claims it was the photographers being too picky about their subjects. I can sort of see where they're coming from given that during the 90s, fashion like this not only became increasingly acceptable to youth but also people were trying to forget their post-bubble worries with whatever distractions they could find. Dressing eccentrically and in a way that says 'fuck being a salaryman or a housewife' is a pretty strong way of doing that, going against what had been the norm since after WWII. However minimalism has been popular lately and I guess stores like Uniqlo and Muji work perfectly for that. You get good quality stuff at a cheap enough price so that you can change your colour scheme, wardrobe etc without having to sell all your stuff again and make a big loss. I guess then a person dressed maximally becomes even rarer, which is a both good and bad thing. Maybe in another 15-20 years we'll see people walking around like that again, I hope so anyway.

Does anyone know about taking street snaps for personal use? Do people mind? Im looking at going to japan for a month this year or next year and using it as a photography trip. Seems like taking photos of people dressed in full N(N) etc would be pretty fun and interesting.

Makes me pretty happy to see a thread like this on /fa/ anyway. I might dump some photos I have saved that are mostly from tokyofashion

>>12210758
Pretty sure Fruits is girls only or crossdressing boys. There's a mens version too I think but I forget the name.

No its because fruits and tune were magazines dedicated to young people who actually liked fashion as self expression

It wasnt contrived it wasnt about status or hyped up meme pieces it always felt authentic which was incredibly refreshing to look at instead of r/streetwear kiddies or faggots from facebook groups like btnk or the basement

Yeah Uniqlo is the reason this magazine is shuttering. Sure. One of the main reasons it is shuttering no doubt is that because it's, well--a magazine. But they wouldn't talk about that.

Even in Japan where old technology generally coexists with the new instead of being routinely discarded--you're not going to stop this shit to an extent. The publishing industry is dying. True, Harajuku is not what it used to be, but I wouldn't blame Uniqlo exclusively for this. People grow up, generations that valued one thing (maybe unique street fashion) move on and are replaced by the new generation who maybe values something else. It's as flippant as like say 1980 hits and someone asks "where's Flower Power gone?" Things change.

(By the way, I can tell you that right now the uniform for guys in Harajuku is this: green parka with fur hood, black skinny jeans, Yeezy 350s lol).

There are still people carrying the torch and not afraid to get super weird unique. (Pic related I took last year).

Best thing is when I see gyaru in Shibuya holding kids. Things change.

Present yourself as a person with fashion photography as a hobby or something.
Don't act like a tourist taking photos, that would be real weird.
If you have some good camera equipment then that would make ppl more comfortable when you're taking their pictures I guess?
This is all just my speculation tho, as I have not lived in japan and don't know their culture that well.

>>12210929
Don't let the top be too long, buy pants that actually have a good loose cut.

>>12212951
Is this a joke? The people in this magazine were doing this 10, 15 years before tumblr was even conceived. Tumblr fashion is just a poor emulation of this. It doesn't work as well because the people who are doing it don't look good to begin with and the thrift store pickings are much slimmer compared to Japan. It was never fucking ironic, this post 2010 'irony' trend is stupid.

>>12212960
Can you read? I said 4chan is a shithole, not Japan.

>>12212970
Are you seriously going to tell me that a full-print anime tiddy shirt doesn't have some degree of irony behind it? It doesn't matter what year it is.

>>12212972
Oh, so would that make you one of the "fucking weeaboos" you talked about?

As if that early '00s weeb wear wasn't just a sub-cultural uniform in itself instead of self expression too.

>>12212977
Yeah I am. I would be pretty surprised if this style of 'Im only pretending to be retarded' irony existed in Japan; I think it's more of a western thing. Prove me wrong though I guess. I would say anyone who has the guts to wear >>12210863 >>12210869 has some genuine interest in anime (or similar). It's worth remembering that the people you see in most of these photos grew up with anime on TV, and some got into it more than others. I'm sure there's genuine anime fans on tumblr too, but they're eclipsed by the 'haha so weird xD' crowd who spend money on omocat's products and post gifs of whatever flavor of the month series is out at the moment.

what pants are those on the dude on the far left

If most of the pics itt are from the past year then I can see why they are shuttering because the fashion is utter SHIT.

If Fruits was started in the 90's, then the kids they photographed were of the generation Pluto in Libra, which would be very concerned with appearances and creativity, and following them Pluto in Scorpio, which has apparently been half decent half crap. Pluto in Sagittarius has been a failure so we have to wait till the 2030s for Pluto in Capricorn for potentially decently stylish people.

It's pretty common, especially in Paris around touristic areas.
Always feel good when someone asks to snap your squad (ego boost)

>>12213267
The photos itt are from tokyofashion...

Like another anon ITT said, magazines in general are dying.

I don't think he's right to put the blame on uniqlo. The vast majority of young people (actually people in general) will, by definition, dress to fit a mold. This is what majorities do.

Meanwhile, there is and always has been a "counterculture" of interesting fashion. This is what they were photographing in the 90s, and they could continue to this day. I don't think they were looking hard enough.

But, really, the main reason is that magazines are dying in general.

Don't make them make new Lahtis to destroy your newer tanks too.

uniqlo had nothing to do with it.
niche things have their problems.
especially in areas where this fashion is popular being pushed out by big business firms and landlords wanting to sell land pushing out small businesses catered to the fashion.
harajuku especially where a lot of this is centered has this issue and people have mentioned it before.
plus the possibility of foreign brands can take attention away from local brands.
subculture also has changed over the years with too much shitty outside influence.

Whut, I beg to differ.
If you look at tumblr fashion, it's all the same concept behind what they're wearing.
They all color their hair, maybe some vintage stuff, docs and other memes.
They all have the same concept behind their fits with other small variations.

The fits above or on tokyo fashion etc., on the other hand are fits with different concept behind their clothing.
When I say concept I mean like, some wear this overly exaggerated cute style, some wear full on geometric shapes, some with exaggerated rock star fits.
That's the difference, they have different concepts behind their fits compared to tumblr. Maybe to you they are all the same because the are all "exaggerated"?
Not sure because you didn't say why they're the same as tumblr fashion in your post.

>>12215218
I do not know about the US but in France people have a Right to likeness/Likeness Right (translation might be off) or "Droit à l'image" in French.

Any physical entity has a right to own his "likeness". The aforementioned likeness is every visual attribute and characteristic of the entity that allows identification.

Any physical entity has a right to refuse seeing their likeness get used, commercially or not, so as to not infringe the right to privacy.


You didn't even try to understand why at least three different people in this thread had the same reaction.

>>12216007
are you saying that in france, a person must give permission for their photo to be taken in public?

>>12216041
Yes, when it's not covered by freedom of speech (you taking a photo for your personal use, commercial use, reproduction, broadcasting not related to journalism etc)

This is something understood in pretty much every European country.
People ask not because of the law (in France) but because it's simple courtesy. Being on the street doesn't make you the owner of one's likeness.

I guess I might include my thoughts on each photo in case someone is interested or just to break up the monotomy. I like how the right guy has used contrast stitched jacket to make his outfit interesting rather than just simple blocks of colour. The guy on left looks interesting because of his hair and necklace, and the shirts cut is weird.

Left has a good use of spot colour in his shoes. Big shorts and t-shirt give a relaxed look. Silver accessories to make it a bit more interesting. Cool hair.
Girl is a bit all over the place, I dont really like the skirt or her hair, and the sweater could be changed a bit, but still not all bad.

I think this picture is a good example of how japanese use not just their clothes in their outfits but their hair, makeup and accessories too. The big pikachu tail (? yellow thing) along with the other charms hanging off her bag help add diversity in her outfits colour scheme. Her hair and face makeup do this too, though she mightve gone a big overboard on the foundation to make herself look pale. Looks fine with the white top half and blue bottom half

I cant afford n(n) core on the guy on the right. I'm not huge about his outfit but I do appreciate what he's doing, and he does it well.
I like the left outfit more, though I dislike the bag and the necklace. Use of yellow as a spot colour in socks and mockneck(?) along with red necklace and belt helps enable the vest. Nice head/face accessories top it off.

This is probably my favorite outfit from this dump. Really highlights how they use every part of apparel and hair/makeup to compose an outfit rather than just clothes. The second set of ears and hair blends together seamlessly along with red eyeshadow, nails, red bag and red shoes. Silver accessories, bag clasps and headphones. Cream/white/grey hoodie is a little too big in the arms and is marketed as a hoodie-dress. Eye graphic is simple enough that people know what it is at a glance but detailed enough to encourage further viewing. Pink and yellow add more colour while staying within a hot or warm pallete. Note how there's no blue or green.

This girls dress is from a brand named Balmung, which seem to make some cool graphic/patterned clothes like this. Slight colour variations between the white of her socks, dress and shoes keep it interesting and oppose seamless flow, which is done anyway by the dress's drape. Dress is loose and covers the hands. Again, hair does some cool stuff here with hints of green and purple rather than just throwing a big block of colour at you. No blue used in the hair, but colours that are harmonious with the dress.

Not much to say on this one other than that I think it looks nice and has a good choice of colours, and her hair suits them.

Cool use of proportions. Slightly too big top overshadows plain skirt which just peaks out so the focus is on her legs, shoes and top. Scarf helps tie in pink/purple of shoes. Fair frames face nicely and helps it tie in down her body with the long twintails. Cool facial jewelry.

'Cult party' style on an older woman. Lolita like colour scheme and elaborateness with comfycore minimalism. Scarf and skirt match and help break up a top-bottom split. Good use of bag to help add some interesting texture and pins. Anyone know what model of shoes they are? It said adidas on tkf.

This girl is 15 and more /fa/ than most people who post on this board. Cool black white anime schoolgirl broken up with comfy fleece jumper with leopardskin patterned hood, gives older/garyu impression. Pottery glasses, choker add to older impression while cutsey haircut, bag, kneesocks and platformed shoes keep it childlike.

Last one from this dump. Vetements FW18 Oversizing goes throughout entire outfit, jeans seem more for show than anything as any necessary covering down there is done by the jacket. Hair is a warm colour that goes nicely with pink as opposed to a stark contrasting black or blonde. Shoes sort of not worth mentioning but theyre unobtrusive in silver, without being too over the top in pink. Looks comfy.

Sorry that most of these are girls, TKF mostly posts photos of girls and the guys they do post are usually not too much to my taste or kind of minimal. Hope you enjoyed.

>If Fruits was started in the 90's, then the kids they photographed were of the generation Pluto in Libra, which would be very concerned with appearances and creativity, and following them Pluto in Scorpio, which has apparently been half decent half crap. Pluto in Sagittarius has been a failure so we have to wait till the 2030s for Pluto in Capricorn for potentially decently stylish people.

I disagree! The take-pictures-in-Harajuku magazines suck, but then again I hate weeb shit cuz someone in my family ruined all of it for me by, like, hosting conventions and totally obsessing over it for 15 years
That's also why I hate avant-garde brands

This feels like a therapy session, but whatever. I don't think I'll ever appreciate Fruits

>>12217820
It's just a hodgepodge of styles, it looks so horrible

>>12217820
Magfriend is right tho. It's a shit magazine that's literally just Island Chinks in random clothing they picked off the floor.

It's not good-looking by any stretch.

You're just retarded and thinking with your Yellow Fever-riddled cock.

>>12216914
I think this one is really boring.
I mean yeah it looks great from a cute, sexy japanese girl perspective.
But that's about it, it just looks cute and a bit sexy.
The colors go okay together and the silhouette is boring as hell.
The hoodie is over sized but not in a cool way, it's far too flat, it would be cooler if it was more puffy if you know what I mean.
The shoes yellow heels is kind of off and doesn't go that well with the fit. The shoes feel more like a little red riding hood kind of shoe, but the rest of the fit is leaning towards weeb, cute, sexy, so it clashes.
The bag looks really cheap and it's round form looks poorly sewn. The pink things on the bag seem rather random and doesn't make the fit better in any way. It's just there, for no apparent reason and it doesn't look good. The whole palette of the fit is this strong red color with black and off-white which gives me this modern vampire-ish look, but so many of her pieces does not lean that way. So in the end it makes me think if she even had that in mind when she made the fit.
Her legs look also look really chubby and short because of how the hoodie fits.

>Really highlights how they use every part of apparel and hair/makeup to compose an outfit
I mean yea they use hair/makeup but the makeup isn't even creative or innovative in any way, it's just red everywhere.
No interesting kind of colors, other decorations, etc. I'm not good with makeup terminology but I hope you get my drift.
It's just red and nothing else, so I don't see how it's anything more than just basic.

The biggest problem with this fit is that there's no concept behind her fit. She just picked stuff she liked, and what she likes is just like the average "fashion" teen. She's the "i'm into fashion" kind of person as she doesn't put any mind into her fits.
But is the fit bad? No, it's just basic and not innovative or interesting like the other fits.

>>12210018
FRUiTS never photographed fashionable people to begin with, they photographed anyone dressed audaciously in the 90s to early 00s when this sort of thing was popular.
You can hardly blame a single store for people wanting to dress more conservatively.

Furthermore, Uniqlo isn't considered trendy by most in Japan, to the point that we have a word for it; "ユニバレ" (UNIBARE) which means something like "you've been caught wearing uniqlo".

>>12219569
why is that so, is it because its so commonplace in japan its like shopping at h&m and f21 in the states?

>>12219576
Basically, yes.

>>12218450
Well I'd first make a style/fashion blog.
Then if I saw someone I'd tell them that I love their outfit (or a similar compliment) and if I could get a picture for the blog, with their first name on it for crediting purposes if they so chose.
Then I'd publish the fits on the blog so whoever gets their photo can see it there.
This way you're not some creep on the street taking photos for indeterminate reasons, but a style amateur running an online...well, publication.
If someone who cares about fashion sees that they can gain some measure of recognition for their effort publicly I'm sure they'd be flattered.
Of course, you're going to need to do your best not to seem creepy.

>>12219904
I'll do this from now on. Idgaf about photos taken of me, but I cans see that it's invasive.
It's just that 99% of the fits are usually not published.
Maybe for the sake of dumping them somewhere I'll make a tumblr for it.

magazine shut down because it's a dying medium

by the way japanese fashion consists of solely of neatly arranged caricatures. their culture just doesn't create counterculture or any kind of punk or youth movement

>>12216907

has anyone here even been in a uniqlo? There are not at all what you are thinking ala "Japanese Sears" or something.

The clothing in uniqlo are just very basic cuts and styles in simple patterns and quality material. Its like the cast-iron cookware of clothing, there is nothing superfluous about it and its not meant to replace your fashion shopping, its just for the fundamentals and from that point can be accessorized as needed.

You should think of uniqlo clothing as blank canvas that can be embellished and accessorized as much or as little as the weary wants.

>>12221078

Japanese street fashion is objectively much better now than it was 10-15 years ago, and I say that as someone that was deeply into the subculture at the time.

Browsing through my old Fruit is top-tier cringe. Almost none of it works.

How old are you? I don't mean that in an insulting way, moreso that someone interested in Japanese street fashion 10-15 years ago would be 25+ now.

I'm going to dump a couple more, this time from the Harajuku section of Stylearena. I'll include the links so you can see info about the individual items, the person, the weather and more photos.

I like how her shoes help tie together the pants and the coat colours. I also like how the black of her hair (dark brown I guess), pants and bag help break up the other colourful parts. The blue sweater is a nice cool colour to help offset the warm look she otherwise has going on. And she's pretty.

More Harajuku-y. Note how the hair plays into the blue theme. I dislike the stockings and not huge on the shoes, but the grey of the shoes matches the grey of the bag. Similar thing with the pink/purple of scarf matching the pink of the socks/stockings, but also the blue in the scarf matching the rest of the outfit. Facial makeup used to tie into this same colour matching thing. Masculine bomber made feminine by use of oversizing and ribbon spam. Velvet texture and pattern on skirt keeps it from being monotomous and goes with the nylon sheen of the bomber.

Use of the massive cardigan sets the tone for the rest of the outfit. Droopy oversized stuff prevails with a faded, burnt peach pantsuit to go with the vibrant salmon of the cardigan. Headdress and hair opt for ethnic-esque look, goes with natural/beige tone of undershirt. Natural materials used in bag go with the ethnic style head. Shoes and belt for contrast.

Simple colour scheme used here, not much to say. Raw hem of shirt gives less of a 'clean cut' look while pants are somewhat reminiscent of a pirates pantaloons,. APpropriate cuff length works with hightops to produce a simple outfit that has a number of interesting details when inspected closer.

Note that the shirts text print uses a rounded font. This ties in nicely with the tonal polka dots on the skirt and the contrasting silver eyeletso n the shoes, creating consistent detail across the outfit when there wouldnt be any if those details weren't there. Looser, longer sleeves give relaxed look. Not much else to say, nice hair.

This one is about colours
Coke logo goes with red of socks. Makes the natrual/beige/cream bag look like part of theo utfit rather than just tossed on top. Browny-orange head bow goes with daisys on her top (which happens to be from a favorite brand of mine) Black runs through the outfit. Leather of belt and watch go together, but I dont realyl like the watch so much. Big fan of the skirt though. I like the silhouette the belt makes; an hourglass shape.
