Just found it a few mins ago...Not all brands r japanese..but just really nice stuff..they even got diet butcher slim skin

ZOZOTOWN |

i will not provide j-style sites to non japanese sorry..i dont think its cool for non japanese to get jap clothing

what about other asian people though?

how about a half jap immigrant? =P

shin youre half jap? O_o...

whats wrong for non japanese people to wear J-style. You are just been racist.

nope im not racist, im prejudice and if you've been here long enough u should know by now

Okay so lets get this out in the open right now then. Who or shall I say what ethnicities are U prejudice against???

aw... Well, pardon me for being nosy, and excuse me for sounding nooby... *takes deep breath*

Because I haven't been around long enough to know what Kaicui-san is prejudiced against, I'll just state some stuff IMO.

I'm designing some Japanese style clothings, though I am purely Singaporean Chinese. I believe beauty is to be shared among all, regardless of race, or ethnicity. I mean, this is what this forum is about right? For a person like me who loves fashion, especially Japanese fashion, to know that there are people who feel that Japanese fashion is not suited for "non Japanese people", it's just hurting. Are you saying that "non Japanese people" will definitely not look good in Japanese style? I don't think so. If my friends allow, I'll post their pictures to prove "non Japanese people" can wear Japanese clothes, and look just as good. And look at MariYa-san (pardon me for mentioning you), she looks wonderful, in J-Punk/Rock. Or are you maybe just prejudiced against the general "non Japanese people", whom you have never met? Or maybe some "non Japanese people" wore Japanese style and looked horrible?

Yea, in the latter case, I've actually felt the same way as you for awhile, but I feel that's generalising the whole lot of people out there. Give them a chance, and they may look good. I mean, I don't think anyone meant to insult a particular enthnicity/culture/style by wearing it wrong. They probably just need good advice. And even with good advice they still look wrong... I wish them all the best... *sigh*

I believe forums in general are for sharing good advice, information and stuff. Saying you're prejudiced and blocking information from other who needs/wants them is... well, uncalled for.

Sorry if my long post offended anyone, I just needed to get it out of me... =)

basically all races who try and be some other race. Not saying that liking a culture isnt cool. I just hate when other races dress talk do everyday things as if they'll part of another culture

lmao u just made my day :) lolz

aw shucks. I take it that, if I announce I'm wearing a yukata to sleep every night you'll get me to stop? ;)

not saying im getting anyone to stop, i just dislike it

ok noted. =)
Oh yes, it's not english but, h.Naoto is good too... hehe... There's a good mix of J-Rock, J-Punk, Lolita, EGL, and I think there's an Indian ethnic line too... Was it Kugo? For both male and female. Man I'll wear the male clothes cos they look good too ;)
h.NAOTO

phew~ i dont dress like that... not everyday that's for sure :vsign: but then again it's cool to change your style once a while and adopt those around you.. i dont see alot Jrock style.. i think you should post some here :D

at Kaicui, after all he is Japanese.. and any Japanese people are welcome.... as i'm not Japanese >_> HAHA!!

EDIT: just want to add something, like those people who dont want to learn their mother tongue, dont want to learn about their history.. their culture.. i think they're the worst of the worst... they think just because they're living overseas, they dont need to know these stuff.... >_<!

who me? lol...

This is speaking purely from my art history/design background:


It is absolutely impossible to segregate fashion/art styles. You really cannot make one style only available specifically to one race. Society doesnt work that way- whats in demand gets to the public, one way or another. Art is a species thing anyway, so is fashion and design, HUMANS create it not any specific race or country. It exists without boundaries and location borders.

So should Japanese fashion NEVER be influenced by north american fashion then? That way it would be truly Japanese right?
Cuz it already has been, sorry.

Its ridiculous to say "only Japanese people can have this style"-
But of course youre entitled to your belief.

What exactly are you going to do to prevent the rest of the world from just copying the style and calling it American or French?

And yes theres a difference between religious clothing or traditional clothing, such as kimonos, being worn for style purposes by people who dont participate or respect that aspect of culture--- and someone buying a Japanese visual kei purse and wearing it in Canada cuz she likes the music.
But lets be clear.


General fashion- brands, jeans, visual kei, etc, styles originally from japanese designers- is a worldwide thing the instant it develops and sells. It is influenced by the world prior to creation because we live in a society that doesnt allow you to exist without knowledge of the rest of the planet, and therefore cannot be said to be only Japanese or only American.




Im abit groggy this morning so that probably came off as awkward but whatever..lol

^maybe Kaicui is trying to say not all Japanese style goes well with everyone.. anyone watch the movie "The Last Samurai"? i watched.. Tom Cruise in a Samurai suit?.. just dont really match... maybe that's just me..

Urgh!
 

i agree with Zagato...so racist:mad: :mad:

Lol!
 

Lol..thats quite funny..haha..lmao

you wear any brand names kaichi?...if so what ones:rolleyes:

Gosh
 

HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW ITS JAPANESE...

I CHECKED OUT THE SITE..AND IV SEEN (NON-JAPS) WEARING EM...IN LONDON (MULTICULTURAL PLACE)...*rolls eyes*

gloomth made a point. People create things and label them what they want. I guess people or objects shouldn't be solely classified by countries or even culture right now, cos with the way this world is going, everything is getting 'fusioned', east-meets-west kinda thing? I mean, I don't mean to offend, because if you say J-style, what do you mean? BAPE? Comme des Garscon? From a none fashionista's point of view, the shirts look like those you get from Billabong or Converse and all. But somehow I feel like puking saying that.

>theUnknown: about people who deny their own mother tongue and culture, I'm not sure if all of them are the worst of the worst or something. Living in Singapore makes me feel distant from its culture, which is basically a mishmash of everything. I feel I don't belong, and I don't even like my mother tongue (it's not my fault cos I couldn't choose my mother tongue =/ ). Not that I despise it, more like I feel uncomfortable using it. So I speak English, and strangely, I feel more at ease with Jap culture. I guess most people don't feel proud if they think their culture is "inferior" but yea, those who can't accept who they are, are really sad people. Lost too, maybe.

read profile b4 u ask

well zanmai...actually my main language is japanese.... and i hoping people would save me from it too and i sometime too deny my own language because i dont have anyone to speak to other than my family

ARRRGH! U should really stop calling it 'jap/japs'. >_>

Aw, the ironic thing is I want to speak Japanese. Hey, you can speak Japanese with me if you want, haha, if it makes you feel better about your own language. Currently my mother tongue is atrocious, cos I keep surrounding myself with people who dislike their own mother tongue too. Uwahahaha.

Back to topic: anyone else has any other nice sites to recommend? Doesn't have to be english :p

>NanteNa: Gomenasai!

@Zanmai, you give me alot to think about..
since i dont have any recommendations, i will post this as well.

Back to topic: anyone else has any other nice sites to recommend? Doesn't have to be english :p

I'm sorry! sometimes I get carried away with my thoughts >< No harm done I hope?

Haha
 

If Werent All in Kanji...Then Maybe...(i can only read katakana and hiragana..:mtongue: ):vsign:

This thread irritated me.

As people have pointed out, how can you possibly label clothing by where it was made or where it's popular?
If we did this with everything then essentially most objects around us would be "[Third World Countries' name] Fashion" or "[Third World Countries' name] electronics" etc.

I think some people, especially the threadstarter, need to stop being such idiotic bigots and open their eyes. We live in something called a "Global Society", that is to say a society which spans the entire Earth and includes everyone and things like racism and prejudices have no place aside from with other racists and judgemental fools.

Yeah sorry, some of these posts have disgusted me. Prejudice will never leave this world. I am australian and on my trip to Japan I bought some nice japanese clothes which I am proud to wear. Here are some other points I want to mention:
1. Japan's fashion did not originate in Japan, they took western fashion to a high level and made it way more interesting. Before they were "westernized" they did used to wear yukata's, kimono's etc keep in mind.
2. Lots of japanese fashion magazines include westerners wearing 'J-style' Clothes, so what is this saying?
3. People should learn that saying or writing 'Jap' is as bad as the 'N' word. Its just not acceptable.

Correct me if I'm wrong :)

Thanks, thats my 2 cents :)

you being such a twazzle
 

No one wants your stupid clothing you fucking retard. I'm gonna kill you. I'm gonna wake you up at night at time after having dismembered yuor familly members and then I will burn your shity japanese clothes and make eat the ash like it was fucking cereal with milk and spoon.

Gomen
 

that was from a guy who hates racists/prejudices people like u..hmph :vsign:

Why can't you say Japanese clothing?
Japanese clothing are the clothes that are mostly wearn in Japan,
it's the same with belgian, dutch, german, spanic etc...

Ohh i forgot to mention. Yeah I fucking hate racists. No matter who you are or who you are prejudice against. you can go to hell and burn in my opinion.

Completey agreed, i dont see a point in racism there is no positive benifet in it at all.

Here's a European website with Japanese brand clothes FOR EVERYBODY!!!! //www.visusky.com/
enjoy, all!!:vsign:
