Japan is taking over my brain!
Submitted by Trixy on
I have a growing fascination with Tokyo Street Style and the fashion wave coming out of Japan that is slowly seeping into Western society. I was wondering if there were any stores that anyone on here knows of in the Vancouver area that would cater to my obsession? I am slowly getting rid of all the old, unwanted, etc items in my wardrobe, and need them replaced. Any help would be appreciated.
The cool thing about Japanese street fashion
or
FRUITS
as they are called
is that they homemake all their outfits!
You can easily tear apart things and combine them with other things with minimal sewing.
It's all about finding the most bizarre things in thrift stores or material shops and them putting them together to make something extraordinary.

Hope that helps!
Well, I don't know of any other than *maybe* New World on Cordova Street. If you are referring to Goth Lolita styles more, maybe try the "where to find it - Canada" thread. There's lots of designers in eastern Canada that work with that style a bit, and a lot have online stores.
