This blog is all about the modern fashion trends in Japan. The fashion industry is rapidly growing in Japan, and is even developing new trends faster than the U.S. When searching this site, I thought I was viewing "Huate Couture", but I was actually surprised that they were pictures of real people and not just fashion models/designers.

Just like the United States, japanese fashion changes from time to time. Japanese men and women still wear kimonos when they have traditional events. Japanese business men and women wear suits and in their casual time they wear jeans and t shirts. Fashion is more extreme in Tokyo and Kyoto.
