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. 
More images can be found here


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

How about some retro Y2K style unique to Shibuya

TOKYO FASHION AND STYLE MARCH 2023 PART 1

Walking along Takeshita Dori we stumbled across these two colourful young souls.
How cool do these young girls look. Love their style. Can you believe they are
both signed models. Watching them pose for the camera, actually, yes! we can.


This is Koko Kona and Ukari Zuku. Aren't they super cool and colourful.
Packed full of colours, style and confidence, these two really were lots 
of fun. 
We’re huge fans of these two colourful characters, and hope we’ll be seeing
much more of them in the near future, wishing them much luck and success,
in their careers as fashion models.

TOKYO FASHION WEEK 2023 - PART 2

Tokyo Fashion Week was amazing. Such a great atmosphere all week.
Sadly we missed many shows, as we didn't know they were off location,
as many fashion weeks do, they have their shows at a different location to
the set official organised locations. Wish we could have shot so much more.
But what we have for you, we hope you will really like. There is enough
to see you interested we think, so there will be posts periodically on RFWT.

Here is another shot of way cool fashion designer Ryuu
So much bright and colourful energy in his designs and looks. Crearly 
that fun and happy Osaka blood flowing through him. Not the normal stuff.
 


It's all about the details

WE'RE BACK WITH TOKYO FASHION WEEK

This site of blog has been going over 10 years now. It started out as a homage in praise
of Japanese Street Style, and a very specific style of fashion from Tokyo, Osaka and
various other areas in Japan.  It evolved to people touched or influenced by
Japanese street fashion, but being based London, UK, over the years, the flow of
Japanese visitors into the UK sadly has all but dried up 😔 So the blog had to adapts,
hence the street style from London and Paris Fashion Week.

There have been hints that plans to change this, and go back to our original concept
were in action. We at JSTREETSTYLE are sorry for that very long delay, but good news.
We have travelled to Tokyo and have got you a nice fresh supply of coolness in style,
to keep you all happy for a while.

So please keep watch and stick around, as we promise you, it will be worth it.
The wait is over as we move have actual Japanese street style again. So please enjoy.

As always, all images brought to you by Fashion Stylist Pat Lyttle of JSTREETSTYLE

This colourful cutie is a true star of Japanese street fashion, and one soon
to shine even brighter than she already does. This is Poyo. Adorably cute
This is Ryuu from Osaka, a Fashion Design student with some pretty 
cool looks. This is one of the 7 he came up with for each day of RFWT.
How cool is this look? We love it. Original, creative, individual and FUN!
Here's another of our favourites. You can see colourful fun, mischievous
flamboyant Yu Masue at all the big 4 Fashion Weeks as well as at Tokyo.

STREET STYLE IN LONDON NOVEMBER 2022

 Can you believe it’s December already? A new year in a few days.
The year has flown by quite swiftly hasn’t it. Summer lasted about 2 weeks.

Here are some fun people and fun images to brighten up the cold,
wet gloomy days presently. We had a brief day of sunshine early November,
and some of these people even at night, bring with them their own lamps
of bright light and happiness, and who can say we don’t need that or them?
Actually, I know one or two boring doomsayers, so this post is also for you.

So let’s start off with the style and colours to brighten up our lives.

This is vintage fashion fan Imogen Jackson, spotted in Camden Passage,
Angel, London on Saturday 19th November 2022. She wears a 1960s look.

 We spotted this cool cat in black at east London's Brick Lane

Here's another cool one. We love the dark groove to her style with the
cargo pants, a gun bullet belt, a patent leather biker jacket and
cool bear bag by DollsKill is her style offering to the world.
Love this look. It's a designer British brand and look by Molly Godard.
Just like how she’s captured the intended Amish Prairie look
Here is a stylish look from one of the fans attending the BlackPink concert
at the O2 venue on November 30th. Note their use of the colours black
and pink. Who doesn’t like Blackpink, especially when it comes to style. 
More Blackpink fan action. Simple style but effective expression of love
Another Blackpink fan's colourfull expression of style, with her love for 
the four pretty awesome girls
More black and pink in action here. This time we spotted this colourful 
blonde style maiden at east London's Spittlefields market
This is super cool Fashion Designer Monzie of Euquinomse7en Designs 
We spotted her at the Kimono Parade, organised by Ezen Japan
It was held at Camden Passage in Angel, London on November 19th. 
 
She wears one of her own looks designed by herself, aided by a little help 
from Adidas, and cool vintage custom pink bear trainers by Jeremy Scott.
 
What do you think about the pink? Cool theme running here right? 
Well with thte Blackpinkgirls in town, we have to try our best to spot these 
trends as we do. Hope you all like them. 

Rounding up this blog post with this dapper chap. 
We love his vintage look of fine tailored threads from the 1930s.

STREET STYLE FASHION AT CLERKENWELL VINTAGE FAIR NOV 2022

Street Style is a form of, or trend in style of shooting and documenting fashion.
Some of you may know about it, some of you may not. This blog is a fashion blog
and it is dedicated to Street Style, originally by those touched by Japan in some way,
but it has had to evolve and adapt in recent years. For now, let’s just say I have plans.

So doing street style as I have been for 27 years, I have shot many images,
seen many things, and have met many people. Many trends have come and gone.
Some things remain a constant. My passion for fashion, my passion and role
in seeking out those with individuality in their style, and my need to document it.

People with an interest in vintage style and fashion items know the best place to go,
to satisfy their thirst for such style is a vintage fashion fair. One like Clerkenwell.

Some of you will know me by now. Some may not and have just seen me around.
Those that do know what I do, know I will make my purchases at a Stylist,
then get back outside where I am happy people watching, observing, checking out
the stylish ones that arrive. You can have your catwalk and runway shows indoors,
but everyone knows the best catwalk is the one on the street.
It is natural, and you see the best in style and individuality in that style.

So let me share with you some of those cool stylish people that went to
Clerkenwell Vintage Fair in search of fashion inspiration from the past,
to enhance their present and our future.

Was it Doland or was it gerald? 🤔 Anyway, Donald Where's ya Trousers?
Isn't he so cool in this vintage kilt of his? Who needs trousers anyway 🤔

Talking of cool, how awesome is this woman and her look? 
This is Xinyu Zhang from China, known as Coris. She wears a fur coat 
and shorts by Chinese independent brand Flowers Birds Market
her leg accessories are by Bananashark, green bag is by Queenhot 
Conterent, and a vintage bear hat and sunglasses.


This is Gothic CY Chan 
A young maiden of the dark arts and naturally dressed all in black. 
She wears a hat by Capperellia, a necklace handmade by herself, 
a harness from ebay, shoes by Dr Martens, and a vintage dress.

Super stylish Gucci & vintage fan Ben Golik (L) and his friend (R) 
in full vintage 1970s style.

The hoops one had to jump through to get you this image of an amazing 
ray of sunshine and happy colours. The very protective guardian finally 
allowed us to share this image with you. She would not allow us to know 
her name, which is sad being that she's a fashion designer and the prints 
and colours are all done by hend and by herself. Am getting inspirational 
hints of Agutha Ruiz De La Prada. A great look. Love her style.

This looks like contemporary designer wear you might find in some cool 
boutique or concept store like Dover Street Market, but this is all vintage. 
 

This is Yuhe Liu. She wears a baseball hat, a red jacket by North Mode
a long skirt by Taro Taro, a bag by Loa Design and Air Jordan shoes 
by Nike.
Good golly Miss Molly. No, that's not her, Just that this stylish woman 
is wearing a cool navy blue number by British designer Molly Goddard.

Rounding up this particular post with this lovely dapper lass in her top hat. 
We can't top that can we? So we won't and will leave things right here.
More images may possibly be found on the Clerkenwell Instagram.
