WELCOME TO LONDON SOPHY IN BLUE

 

Welcome to 2025. It's almost halfway through l ready. Sorry about that. It's been very busy. 

For now, here are some images I shot earlier today. 

 

This is 任曉桐 Yam Hiu Tung, or her English name, Sophy.

She is from Hong Kong. I spotted her in Covent Garden on May 4th, 

at a hello Kitty Pop Up. I thought she looked most stylish. She wears a handmade by herself, 

a tracksuit & Top by Adidas, blue denim shorts were thrifted, the denim straps are 

from another pair of jeans, and her shoes from Chinese shopping platform Taobao. 

Her socks and leg warmers are from nekura on Taobao.

BRIGHT DELIGHT FROM STREET STYLE THIS WINTER 2024

Here are some more street style fashion looks from the streets of Harajuku and
Shibuya, during Rakuten Tokyo Fashion week early 2023. I do hope I can bring
you more street fashion from around Japan next year, and way more frequently.
For now, please enjoy this last post of 2024

 

 

Some wonderfully sweet Lolita looks from a couple of frillies or Loli chans.

INTERNATIONAL DECORA DAY 2024

Sorry for the lack of posts here lately. My attention has been with my other more
mainstream fashion blogs. It’s the 27th of July 2024 which means it’s also
International Decora Day. A recent listing of world events and day’s to celebrate,
and why not celebrate all that is happy, bright and colourful in the world of
Japanese Street Style.

With that in mind, I decided to go though my archives and pull out a few images 

I shot both in Tokyo and in London, of the ever so popular Decora style. 

Hope this post can bring a happy rainbow of colourful energy to your day. 

Please enjoy.

 

These two images above I shot on Omotesando around 10 years ago.
 

This one I shot during Tokyo Fashion week in 2023, again on Omotesando.

 

Here is the lovely Purin chan doing her thing.

 

The two above I shot in London many years ago showing just how 

global the love for Decora style has become.

STREET STYLE OF MIDZY AT LONDON'S ITZY CONCERT

This evening I met up with a dear friend, to shoot some street style fashion looks, 

of ITZY fans known as MIDZY, as they wait for the first UK concert, as part of the 

South Korean Kpop all girl group’s one night concert at the OVO Wembley, 

as part ITZY's 2nd world tour known as "Born To Be" on April 24th 2024. 

There wasn’t the WOW factor I had hoped to have seen, the cool sense of individuality 

of style I love, but am so glad I did verdure out. My dear friend made it all worthwhile 

helping me out, before seeing the concert for herself. Hope you all had a great time 

at the concert with Yuna, Yeji and the others.

Here are the images I shot as a documentation of the MIDZY style. Come on fans. 

Let’s see if you can do a bit better next time around.

TOKYO FASHION AND STYLE

 Here are some more images from the streets of central Tokyo spring 2023. 

I really enjoyed shooting these and so many images of incredibly stylish

young people with such a depth and sense of individuality with their style.

There really is nowhere on earth like Tokyo when it comes to this level of style

seen on the streets. Many cities like London, Paris, New York, Milan, Copenhagen

and others get close, but that's usually during fashion week season.  

Not so with with Tokyo. Yes they dial things up up a little during fashion week,

but it's pretty much WOW each and every day all year when it comes to street style,

and fashion sub cultures and style tribes. It's like nowhere else, because that's true.

With that said, here are a few more images I shot, just for you.

JAPANESE FASHION AT KYARY PAMYU PAMYU LONDON 2023 CONCERT

Crazy colourful goings on? No. Well kind of. This is Japanese street fashion,
and individual style displayed by fans of Japanese singer Kiriko Hayama,
better known as Kyary Pamyu Pamyu.

I first photographed the beautiful Japanese in Japan back in around 2010,
when she was a fashion model. That image is featured in my book
Japanese Street Style. 

She is one of Japan’s biggest exports, and is known globally.

I had Kyary in front of me, willing to let me photograph her, still beautiful at 

age 30. But sadly her management team or people did not want some guy,
especially non Japanese to photograph her. 5 seconds was all I needed,
while they took 2 minutes creating excuses. The usual nonsense about 

she has no time, then am I professional? Then it just gets worse.

Wouldn’t this blog post be complete with a photo of the beautiful Kyary?
Sorry folks. The usual only photographed and styled by famous celebrity 

types, and well known. That’s not Pat Lyttle, Hope it never will be.

So what I will do is share with you the images of way cool, stylish young 

people in London, that dress up in various Japanese fashions from its many
street style tribes. All about to see their lovely Kyary Pamyu Pamyu
on her World Tour, in London, at the Earth Hall on June 7th 2023.

I love Japanese street fashion and style. I've been shooting it in Japan,
and outside since 1997. My passion and enthusiasm for street style
will never end.

Check out these cool Japanese fashion looks.

Isn't she just amazing. She's actually South Korean and packed full of fun

How about some retro Y2K style unique to Shibuya
