New Model Japan Converse Shoes 2010

Jan 8, 2010 Author: admin | Filed under: Japan Converse, Japan Shoes

Converse is an American shoe company that has been making shoes since the early 20th century. The shoes was popular during The Chuck Taylor All Star shoe has developed a number of nicknames over the year. Chuck Taylor All-Stars, or Converse All-Stars, also referred to as “Chucks” or Cons’ are canvas and rubber shoes produced by Converse. They were first produced in 1917 as the “All-Star,” Converse’s attempt to capture the basketball shoe market

Chuck Taylor All-Stars Shoes were not particularly popular until basketball player Chuck Taylor adopted them as his preferred shoe. He was impressed with the design so he became the shoe’s leading salesman. After proposing a few changes to the shoe, the shoe got its current name and Chuck Taylor’s signature on its ankle patch. One change was the switch to nonslip soles. Although classic black is the most popular, Chuck Taylor was himself known to prefer unbleached white high-tops (known in his day as simply “white”).

Brand new from Converse Japan are these Jack Purcells. Paradoxically capturing both a more formal and a casual aesthetic the shoes appear to be a refined, more sophisticated version of the iconic chuck taylor boot. Stand out features include the stretchy-rubber on the sides of the shoe, allowing for ease of movement, as well as the prominent heel tab and cylindrical laces to match the boot.

Besides Japan Converse Jack Purcells, there are another type of Converse such as All Star Strap Hi Leather. The new Converse All Star Strap Hi Leather sneaker becomes competitive in terms of design. The new model comes in double strap to their staple shoe. You will definitely love the new Converse because Converse seems to extend a lot of effort to make its new model unique and stand out in the market.

Converse shoes in Japan is so popular. The famous designer of Converse is Japan may be Junya Watanabe. Junya Watanabe is a famous fashion designer and in 2007, Junya was licenced by Converse to design a series of All-Star shoes.

As part of their upcoming season Converse Japan just released a slew of designs. But are you ready for snakeskin Converse? I think I am.Converse released roughly 20 different designs that range from this snakeskin gem to matte leather designs. Here are my favorite:

Japan Gothic Lolita Fashion Style

Nov 19, 2009 Author: admin | Filed under: Japan Lolita

Lolita is a first used as a Vladimir Nabokov’s famous sexy novel, but later used as a fashion style especially in Japan fashion. Lolita style used to be a sexual cosplay fashion, altough now most followers of the style do not consider it overtly sexual. It’s not a movement about a sexual style. In point of fact, there is less skin showing in this fashion style than in most others worn by young people.

Lolita can not be seperated with Gothic. Gothic Lolita (known in Japan as gosurori, “goth-loli”) is a mixture of the Gothic and Lolita fashion. The origins of the Japanese Gothic style can be traced back to the English New Wave Movement during the 1980s: however, the Japanese Gothic scene is fundamentally different from the Gothic subcultures of the west.This Gothic fashion has been adopted into the Lolita fashion through the use of darker make up, clothing, and themes in the design.

‘Gothloli’, as it’s known, has been around in Japan in one form or another since the late 70s. Currently, the fashion has several sub-branches that mix gothic, punk and Victorian styles in various ratios, from the sweet lolitas in their pristine paniered skirts to the slashed, splattered and tattered rags of the guro goths.

Why people wear Lolita ?
The young men and women dress in a fashion related to the Victorian era, in a style that the dolls of the time were dressed in. They want to show their protest and rebel against the constraints still put upon Japanese women. Basically, there’s a lot of reasons and explanations why people choose this fashion style.

Lolita has many styles and types such as :

1. Sweet Lolita: Pink and white are the main colors with lots of frills and lace. They young women will carry around teddy bears, parasols and other things which increase even further the cuteness quotient. It has a very, very innocent look to it, nothing challenging or nasty at all. (There is some argument about this, though, in that some sources say that carrying toys around shifts the style into kawaii and not lolita.)

2. Gothic Lolita: Again, there is a tendency to confuse terms. Using the word “Gothic” would cause many people to think along the lines of safety pins, all-black clothing and nasty behavior, but in the fashion sense only the all-black is actually used, and even a mix of black and white clothing will be found. The accessories carried around include purses and parasols. There is some argument I’ve seen about other colors; some sources say darker sheds of red, green, blue and purple will also be used, and other sources say it’s almost totally limited to black and white or all-black clothing.

3. Gothic Aristocrat: This is a more mature look than the above two forms, the people looking quite aristocratic in their dress.

4. Kodona: This is a more male-oriented fashion

5. British Aristocrat/Dandy: a more adult version of Kodona.

6. Wa-Lolita: A mix of the Lolita fashions with the more traditional kimono and yukata fashions.

7. Classic Lolita : Classic Lolita is a more mature style of Lolita that focuses on Baroque, Regency, and Rocaille styles. Colors and patterns used in classic Lolita can be seen as somewhere between the Gothic and sweet styles; it is not as dark as Gothic Lolita, but not as cutesy as sweet Lolita.

8. Punk Lolita : Punk Lolita (or Lolita Punk) adds punk fashion elements to Lolita fashion. Motifs that are usually found in punk clothing, such as tattered fabric, ties, safety pins and chains, screen-printed fabrics, plaids, and short, androgynous hairstyles are incorporated into the Lolita look.

Lolita fashion can be even considered a movement where girls ranging from pre-teens to late 20’s fight the current fashion with modesty. It allows a girl to feel young, cute, beautiful or off- limits, depending on which type of Lolita a girl chooses to be

There are countless local festivals (matsuri) in Japan because almost every shrine celebrates one of its own. Most festivals are held annually and celebrate the shrine’s deity or a seasonal or historical event. Some festival are held over several days.

Japan Anime Character Cosplay Photos

Aug 5, 2009 Author: admin | Filed under: Japan Cosplay

Japan is famous for its manga, anime and games characters. A lot of japan mangas now are really popular all over the world. Who don’t know Naruto, Death Note, Bleach, Soul Eater, One Piece, or Games such as Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, until some old manga characters like Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Saint Seiya, Kamen Rider Series, Gundam, etc.

However, Japanese is such a creative and full of ideas peoples. They will imitate their manga or anime idols by wearing their costumes and accessories, to feel and act just their hero. Gradually becoming a signature style for the very fashion-conscious Japanese teens, Anime also launched a new craze in the hairstyle domain, just like the famous Harajuku hairstyles, this trend also spreads its ‘animated’ atmosphere all over the world.

The anime fashion is called cosplay. Cosplay fashion has evolved over the past 10 years or so: when I first arrived in Japan over 5 years ago, `gyaru` or `yomamba` fashion was still popular- a range of bizarre and fetishized takes on a blank canvas of an ultra-dark tan, bleached hair, and intense black and white face-paint, as popularized by J-pop idol Namie Amuro in the 90`s. This style evolved through chic, gothic lolita, hawaiian, and many other permutations. Some of them looked elaborately beautiful, like the voodoo `Calypso` from Pirates of the Caribbean, while others were just the opposite, bordering on the disturbing.

Besides Cosplay, there are still some style that evolved very well in japanese teens nowadays such as Harajuku Style, Gothic Lolita, Visual Kei, Kawaii, Decora.

Here are some photos of japanese men or girls in cosplay fashion. They are like a real hero from their idol character.
