Berlin snaps, Tokyo streets

imomusFor no particular reason (except that I'm lying low with flu and too lazy to write some polemic), here are a couple of snaps shot on my street in Berlin over the weekend, followed by some Japanese street fashion pix from Tokyo Street Style. I tend to snack on candid shots like these when I'm low the way other people guzzle chocolate or satsumas.
It's getting increasingly difficult, on the chromophobic streets of Tokyo, to find interesting-looking people, alas.

Date: 2004-12-20 03:27 pm (UTC)I've noticed that the situation seems to be improving in Kyoto in the last few months with some very young teens wearing what looks like a retro-mid-90's style.
The girl in the purple mini tunic is something else!
Greetings from Montreal, where it's -26C but sunny.

Date: 2004-12-20 06:05 pm (UTC)I went to a half and half high school. It was half black/white European half Asian (all American).
The Japanese and Korean girls always made me jealous because I felt the pressures of being a teen and didn't dress like them while they did dress like them. Being them and all.
Or rather I didn't dress cool and they did. Not "like them" so much. Of course this was in the early 90s.
I love that guy's skirt. The last guy looks so much like my ex-boyfriend it's eerie.

Date: 2004-12-20 06:24 pm (UTC)Yeah, I like it too. Very Devendra Banhart! But I don't think it's a skirt, I think it's sort of yogi trousers with a diagonal flap across the front.

Date: 2004-12-20 07:23 pm (UTC)last week I went to a party dressed like this. I use to be inspired by tokyo street fashion too. but now I'm more into the local tramps. not the junkies. though living in holland, people do not really get the tokyo/momus connection. its more the 'tintin in tibet' comments you get. tintin is an european icon and tokyo is somewhere far way peolpe only know through "the blue lotus" ;-)

Date: 2004-12-21 02:59 am (UTC)I also like the linguistics behind the furry boots referred to as "ug" boots (after the sounds that cavemen use.)
Tadaima (take care of yourself) Momus.
