This week's fashion around the world series is on Japan. The fashion in Japan is so unique, that there is nothing like it anywhere else in the world. Japan's fashion is distinctive, colorful, avant-garde, and beautiful. The Lolita fashion as shown above is becoming increasingly popular in Japan and all around the world. There are gothic, sweet, punk and classic Lolita fashions shown today. Lolita is very popular among the teenagers and young adults. Anime Fashion is another trend that is becoming increasingly popular. With the rise of video games and anime shows and movies, it is often now seen worn among the younger crowd.

Traditional fashion also still exists in Japan. The kimono is the popular traditional garment. The Geisha (a person who works in the performing arts) has been around for centuries. The makeup, hair and attire is absolutely gorgeous. The dedication and time to put on the makeup, fix the hair and to dress like that is phenomenal. I don't even like spending more than an hour getting ready.

Also I am so happy that I am getting such great responses to this new series. I have always been fascinated by other cultures, what they do, what they wear and who they are. Fashion is so unique from country to country. I really enjoying inspiring you all and letting you have the chance to try new things and learning what is fashionable in other countries!
