[ARTICLE]Ayu & Namie: Fashion Threaders In Japan

[truehappiness]

I wonder if she dresses herself..
Or maybe she has a genius stylist helping her choose her styles?

[LacusClyne]

^she must dress herself too. i remember reading in mags that girls like what she's wearing when they saw her shopping on streets.

For Taiwan, I'd expect more girls to try and copy Rainie's style rather than Jolin's, which is more mature and may be harder to pull off for young girls. Afterall, the "cute" trend is more prevalent than the sexy image there.

[truehappiness]

Taiwanese girls imo dress kinda like Ai Otsuka does now :|

[LacusClyne]

^well in singapore, it's kuu and Jolin style....

[truehappiness]

But what does that mean? Just fashionable tops or something with jeans and low cut pants?

I think that fashion is generally nowadays not dictated by a celebrity.

[LacusClyne]

hmmm...how should i put this. take jolin for example, when she wears something to go on tv, say a cute skirt & tops. There will be people who try to copy that style.

[truehappiness]

But wouldn't there be people wearing stuff like that already..?

Fashion trends are so complicated :<

[LacusClyne]

^that's why....i find it hard to explain....

but most of the time, whenever some artist wore a style that looks good, you can expect carboncopies walking down the street in the future

[truehappiness]

IMO, I think Ayu's style is too hard to copy since a lot of what she wears costs a LOT.

So people are 'copying' the people who wear things similar to items in cheaper boutiques

Not too hard to copy, just walk down takeshita dori in Harajuku and pick up a full set of clothes for 20 bucks.

Well... that was probably possible around 2001 or something, but nowdays Ayu isn't as popular on that front anymore. Back then she was like the only one.

[truehappiness]

I think they all equally share the fashion world.. I mean.. come on :p
Fashion is what Ayu lives for! <3 She shopped crazily back when she was a teen.. and she does now!

[immel]

As if you could ever be disappointed or even the least put off by anything she ever did.

You sure are impressive .

[truehappiness]

I was kinda put off by her purple SCAWAII shoot of ugliness.

With the boot.. and the.. ew..

Thanks for the article.

[theprojectzero]

JOLIN?! XD Kill me...

[truehappiness]

Jolin is indeed.. yeah. LOL

[LacusClyne]

^but there's the fact that a lot of people in taiwan and singapore are following her style...

[extepan]
