KB is making a Harajuku costume for Halloween, Fun!
I first came across Harajuku style when I was searching YouTube for videos about sewing. This Japanese street style is trickling into USA teen culture. My daughter, who is an avid manga reader, is my fashion adviser for this costume. There are many flavors of Harajuku style. You can find tons of images on the Internet for ideas. These girls and guys are not shy.. And it's all about self expression. If you are into fashion it's something you'll want to see. Vivienne Westwood is idolized here. I think there is a hint of early eighties Madonna mixed with Minnnie Mouse. Here are some of the ingredients I plan to use: crinoline skirts, polka dot fabric, black and white jacket and plastic accessories, bright striped socks, bright necklaces and some sort of plush. Fun!
