There are many kind of magazines for each gender, ages and types.

Refer to this site for example (in Japanese).

Thank you very much. It's nice that there are friendly people like you all around the world.

But hmmmm. I would love to look at the site, but there is no button with english translation . So for me it looks very confusing. There might be an english button, but I don't know the Japanese sign for it. Google tells me its
英語, would that right?

Cheers

You may also take a look at the latest Gothic and Lolita Bible.

Or a better way is to make your own statement (with inspiration from Harajuku).

Here are some other interesting English language Japanese fashion websites:

Tokyo Fashion
8tokyo

As far as translating sites that are not in English, did you know you can add a button to Firefox to translate any site you are visiting from Japanese into English? It's not perfect English, but it's free and Google does the translation.

Just make a new bookmark in Firefox and put this in the bookmark field:

Code:
javascript:var%20t=((window.getSelection&&window.getSelection())||(document.getSelection&&document.getSelection())||(document.selection%20&&document.selection.createRange&&document.selection.createRange().text));var%20e=(document.charset||document.characterSet);if(t!=''){location.href='http://translate.google.com/translate_t?text='+t+'&hl=en&langpair=ja|en&tbb=1&ie='+e;}else{location.href='http://translate.google.com/translate?u='+escape(location.href)+'&hl=en&langpair=ja|en&tbb=1&ie='+e;};
Of course it won't work on Flash and images, but for text it works great.

Enjoy.

I just wanted to tell you that I could not find your target of fashion by pointing the WEB site (for girls).

At least, please let me know whether you are interetsed in Girl's fashoin or Boy's.
