GETTING HYPER ABOUT JAPAN

People are flocking to London, and getting all Hyper about Japan.
Well that’s what it seamed like on Saturday 13th July at Kensington’s 

Olympia.
Crazy long queues were seen around the sides of the grand exhibition 

hall, but it was the fashion trends from, or inspired by Japan that 

interested us here at JSTREETSTYLE. More specifically the sense of 

individuality that we love so much here, and is in such short supply 

these days and intact, over the last few years.
We normally brig to you a frequent fix of Japanese Street Style, 

but its is so rare to see  these days within London. First of all, 

where are all the cool Japanese.
Lots of young Chinese wearing high end western fashion brands, 

specifically so much Gucci. But Japanese?
With we westerners, at an event like this, you’ll easily spot cosplay 

as supreme ruler in style, possibly followed by Gothic and Sweet Lolita, 

possibly some Fairy Kei, with a sprinkling or dusting of Decora,
but not much else in terms of the numerous style tribes Japan’s streets 

has to offer up to the world. So with that in mind, here is the offering of 

street style we were able to serve up for you, for this sunny summer 

weekend. Worth getting all hyper about? Well, you decide.

 This is the amazing make up artist and model Frankie Storm, 

wearing a cool punk goth fetish look, with Stack Soul Stomper 

platform boots by Demonia, and a corset from Sai Sai in Camden 

with shorts, a croptop from Bio Hazard, a cardigan and a choker.
We think Frankie looks awesome.

Kirsty from Sheffield. She wears a Sweet Lolita dress by Angelic Pretty 

with a print tattled Melty Guy, with tights also by Angelic Pretty, 

with shoes from Ali Express, and a bag by Loris.

 This is Serena from London. She wears a dress and bag both by 

Angelic Pretty, bear slipper shoes, and an amazing vintage 

Johnson’s Baby Powder sweater by Eagles Eye.

 This is Jessica Raffergy from Stoke On Trent. At only 15 years of age, 

what you see her wearing here, her bonnet and dress, has been designed 

and made by herself, and to a very high standard, with pre construction 

garment stitched and hemmed just like a Christian Dior Atelier garment.

 This is lovely redhead Laura Baldwin. She wears a dress with antique 

paper dolls OP by dolls party, a headbow by Surface Spell, boots by bodyline,
an Anglomania tote bag by Vivienne Westwood. Her Doll by Alice’s collections

 Japanese street style trend are truly global, as demonstrated by these four 

young French women about to get their fix of high street fashion from Japan,

but from within a London exhibition hall.
