Japan Style: Summer 2010

ok, some i'm not the sartorialist, nor am i ever going to try/pretend to be. reason being: i suck at taking "people on the street" pics b/c i'm either A) too late in getting my camera out in time or B) too awkward to walk up to someone and just ask to take his/her pic. sooooo, i end up coming away with a bunch of amateur candid street shots. however, this won't stop me from sharing :) hit the jump for a small sampling of who i came across.*

*the picture that headlines this post was not actually a person, but a mannequin outside one of the boutiques in harajuku. sorry for the potential confusion.

let's start off with this guy and some killer loafers in an "iron man" colorway

four girls in a row representing (from left to right): 

1) overalls 2) ruffle socks 3) vagina exposing mini skirts and 

4) shredded leggings

i took this pic mostly for the guy but miss thing holds her own with cinched skirt, pale peach knee-highs and contrasting black lace umbrella

twinsy japanese school girls!! too bad i only got them from behind

(that's what he said...)

super fly mom and dad coming out of a store in succession

ok, not actually an entire outfit, but i asked the sales girl at one of the boutiques if i could take a pic of the homemade embellished change purse necklace she was wearing

looking serious in platform clogs

pig-tailed girl had it going on. mom gets an A for effort.

not actually human but COME ON how could he not make this post

this guy too...

baZAMM!! especially girl on the right

(guy in black didn't get the memo)

and the grand finale...

a veritable sea of the same person
