Harajuku fashion is a vibrant and eclectic style originating from the Harajuku district in Tokyo, Japan. It is characterized by its bold, colorful, and often unconventional approach to clothing and accessories.
Harajuku fashion emerged in the 1970s and gained international recognition in the 1990s. It began as a form of rebellion against conservative Japanese fashion norms and was influenced by Western subcultures. The style evolved over time, incorporating elements from punk, gothic, and kawaii cultures. Social media and fashion magazines like FRUiTS helped popularize Harajuku fashion globally in the 2000s.
