japanese fashion vs. western fashion

[Junimad]

which fashion style do u think excels, japanese or western? i'd personally go for japanese since u'd find the most unique nd pretty styles! however if u want overall charisma, western fashion wud move ahead in tht department! wht do y'all think?

I'd say it's very difficult to put those two styles up against eachother. >_>
It depends on which area of the fashion you want to be jugded.

I prefer the western 'pop'-style and the asian 'cute/punk/rock'-style. ^^v

cowboy hats and kimonos????.....how about someone wearing a kimono with acow boy hat.... (I'm going get shot for posting this....*runs away before anyone notices me*)

i've actually noticed one thing, nd tht is the physique differences u'll find between the two cultural fashions! u wudn't really find a j-rock artist with a muscular bulky physique, however lukin' at western icons, u'd find sum really cool muscular bodies! but it totally depends on onez opinion if they prefer skinny over bulky or vice versa!

Does it really need to be pointed out that the majority of Japanese fashion (both contemporary and the Harajuku stuff) derives directly from American and European styles?

I believe that may be what MMM was trying to articulate...

I'll see if my housemate will take a picture of for you, since my stetson is on the shelf above where my kimono hangs. Of course the result pic could be a bit hard on the sensibilities.
