Photographs: Tokyo Street Fashion

(Still editing photos) The first few days i was in Japan this past summer, I'm walking around Yokohama, completely fascinated by the culture of Japanese fashion. It is much different that North America, and seems when observed from a foreign perspective to draw more from the creativity of one individual than the fashion industry itself. There is no question that Japan is influenced by North American media, but it would appear that Japanese fashion is in a class of its own entirely.

The concept of these photos is to celebrate the cultural differences of Japan through the fashion on its streets. I deliberately excluded the faces of the models as the clothing they wore was more the point, in the context of the street scenes behind them.
