post a commentThere is no place like Tokyo right now for clothes ... all you nyorks,londons,milans just watch and learn humbly
the girl on the first one is very cute. I lobe the look, but also the expression of her face.
She is very nice, minimalist yet sophisticated!!!
http://louis-myfashionshow.blogspot.com/
finally you are in Tokyo!
love the jacket in the third picture.
oh how i wish to go to tokyo as well.
=)
the first look is my fav....love it!!
http://donotshoeme.blogspot.com/
Not nice, it is sad when you don't recognize if it is a man or a woman...
great tokyo!
I must say I do retain a penchant for those kinds of shoes, with those kinds of socks. It's so endearing. If only men had a similar option.
beingmanly.blogspot.com
everyone should visit Tokyo. It's cool. Tokyo people changed my perception of many things. We really don't matter so much so have fun with whoever you are. cx
One word for the first girl: Adorable.
Why? The ruffled ankle socks make the difference.
Great photos.

LOVE the guy's jacket... and the blue shirt
waaay awesome :D
the girl on the first photo looks lovely!
<3 it..
Nana
Just goes to show that Tokyo has some of the best dressed people on the planet!
http://www.citizette.com
I love the ruffled socks and Mary-Janes worn by the girl in the first picture -- so sweet!
www.sarabbentley.blogspot.com
I adore their layering process and play of volumes! Tokyo rules!
oh my!! all over that last one. especially that cream sweater.
Great photos! I love the girls outfit, so cute!!!

omg i love your blog, maybe we can follow each @ bloglovin?

the flagship stores in tokyo were amazing. bathing ape in shibuya and acne in harajuku were breath taking.
the most amazing thing about japanese fashion to me is how drastic an individual's style changes from day to day. the young man with the green hair might wear a suit the next day and a dress the day after that. fashionable people in japan just seem so open minded to every possibility.
wonderful...you took pictures of people who was "really" stylish, not circus.
「DROP」とはまた違った視点のスナップで、本当に素晴らしい！
I used to live in New York, but now I live in Yokohama.(Next to Tokyo) It's really interesting to see how foreigner look at Japanese culture and fashion. I hope you enjoy your stay!
Great pics and very cute girl.
The brown print jacket with the blue shirt underneath is so outrageously perfect in every way.....I can't breath!
The attitude of the second guy is wonderful. It takes a lot of aplomb to pull off such an obviously matched and yet "cool" look!
Great photos as always, I really like the first outfit, Tokyo is full of surprises.

I am drooling over the girl's dress. Her whole outfit is just so darling.
I think I may have had those socks when I was two.
Love the BAG the dude is carrying.
nice boy ; ) great jacket
The girl is unbelievably lovely and I agree with the rest, the socks and shoes completes and adds a different twist to the look.
I love the first outfit! The dress is beautiful;)
The (im)Perfect Harmony
Tokyo is the best shopping in the world bar none.
Technically, the "do" in Omotesando means "street" so you if you write "Omotesando St." it's like saying "street" twice. FYI!
Hope you're having a great time.
very sophisticated! the jacket on the 3rd pic is really nice!
Hello Mr. Sartorialist!
I think you should go to Japan more often! These outfits are amazing and thirst-quenching from the usual trends. The unusual-ness, their boldness, breathes freshness to this place. I love the fact that they care of every nitty gritty detail on them! Thanks!
Graet outfits!

They both look fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

I hope you're gonna stay in Tokyo for a long time! I've been visiting your site for quite some time now and I can quite safely say that I love your Tokyo pics the most so far.
that first girls has such and adorable face and outfit on!
and the second man looks wonderful as well (love the glasses especially). japan is so lovely.
That girl really looks adorable <3

I love it!
Cute, I love the girly socks! They guy is great, I love how he has broken up the complete matching with the blue collared shirt underneath. I can't believe another commenter who said they can't tell the difference between a man and a woman, it really is not that difficult...
http://ganymedekids.blogspot.com
Looking at your Tokyo pictures makes me very nostalgic. I love it!!!!!
La japonesita me encanta, es muy dulce.
Tendencia total los calcetines.
Voy a tener que mejorar mi ingles para poner los comentarios en ese idioma.
Mas o menos entiendo los comentarios de los demás, pero no sé si vosotros los mios.
Un beso
I grew up in Asia, but now lives in NY. I always find styles I/people wear in Asia doesn't quite fit in this new country, and vice versa. So it's good to see how Sartorialist is going to interpret Asian's style and how the culture influence the way they dress differently from the Western countries.
Will you travel to other Asian countries like China, Vietnam, Thailand, etc?

So cute, I love the girl's socks:) /Sophie♥
That is TOO CUTE !!!!!! love the Look !!
:-)

I love this guy's layering and he's great to look at...that purse--for men? I'm trying to embrace the idea and so far it's not working.
A very nice facade of Herzog & de Meuron.
I like the way the architects perceive surfaces as a protection and a communication layer at the same moment. The constructive structure and the visual pattern of this building determine each other.
rational / irrational - very sartorial !
The blonde guy's jacket is to die for.
I love how the girl has managed a charming and textured modern Victorian mood without going the costumey Lolita route.

that girl's outfit is so cute, love her socks.
http://lavie-amonavis.blogspot.com
I agree with the jacket. Your Tokyo visits are making me wanna explore really interesting patterns/graphics.
I really love the androgyny in a lot of these Tokyo pics. It's such an interesting expression of self when you blur the lines between male and female with your clothes. No inside-the-box thinkers here!
I love the last photo, with the leather jacket and it's photo transfers on it. Where do you get a great jacket like that? Japan? Also love the layering, done so casually yet it works. He's very hip.
By walking around this city you realize that no one is dressed that same...
each one has his one outfit...created just for him.
You can see thousand of trends rising and growing and it's up to you witch
one to choose, witch one inspires you most...
The only truth is that street makes fashion...trends are coming from there...
Fashion not coming from the streets is sentenced to become "out".
The third photo is super! He has a real quality about him, doesn't he?
picture 1 = fabulous!

LOVE THAT LEATHER JACKET ON THIZ GENT.LIL SHORT FOR MY TASTE HOWEVER IT WORKZ FOR HIM. THE KNECK PLUNGE OF HIZ SWEATER IZ INTERESTING. AND FOR THE LADY... U CAN'T GO WRONG WITH AN INNOCENT FACE LOL!
Love the pic of the girl, she´s so lovely
:)
she is so cute! =)
I make the project "People an their hats" (London), maybe it would be interesting for you or your followers =)
http://alhimovich.blogspot.com/
Sart, I am LOVING these Toyko pictures! And the girl in this series is just adorable. I'm jealous of the innocent charm she exudes without being overly frilly in her outfit. Love it.
Thank you for covering Japan! Inspiration overload. It would be interesting if you extended your travels to other parts of SE Asia. When people think of inspiring fashion, their idea of "Asia" is usually limited to Japan, Korea, maybe HK. Will you be hopping around that region of the world?
Andy Hockney or David Warhol
please take pictures in shimokitazawa off the odakyu line, just west of tokyo. it's such a hip spot!
that prada building is awesome! love the windows...

LOVE the blonde dude!

That girl renders me speechless with her loveliness. I would have never thought of combining that dress with that sweater. It should look grungy, but it doesn't. I don't know how she pulls it off.
How do the Japanese do it? All that creativity in one collective mind...explosive!
I love the last guy's bag!
I want that guy's jacket!
She is so nice. I like her coordinate, particularly the shoes.
Thanks for finding cute Tokyo girl.
how do non-Japanese see Japanese fashion!? a matter of interest.
Mr. Schuman, it's great that you're shooting people in Japan!
That guy's wearing the Tom Ford SS 2010 frames I am dying for!! Anyone knows the name/style number of that model?
http://www.tomford.com/#/en/menswear/spring/summer2010?styleNumber=0
I visited Tokyo in 2006 and I've dreamt of returning ever since. Such amazing people.
LOVE the Prada building! Took about 1001 photos of it (both day & night) from every angle, it is amazing! Gorgeous pics!
xx
This guy rocks. The glasses, the blonde hair, it just works. He's cool.
fridayswithcilantro.blogspot.com
she is so cute
such a totally different vibe over there in Japan - love it!
everyone seems to ooze personal style....
hey didnt some Prada Japan employees sue for discrimination recently - apparently they were told they werent pretty/thin/hip enough?
First pic is amazing
all you haters out there, open your eyes and your horizons. just enjoy the photos and appreciate that japan's culture is different than yours. androgyny is actually hip over there, and so are sunglasses at night. big deal
This jacket is something to envy. Love the spectacles also. Very nice

wow`````i love the Japanese girl.she is lovely and beautiful.The Prada building are graet.
The blonde gentleman has done a masterful job of layering. And the jacket is amazing!!

Everything about this is so new, and fresh, and I can't stop looking at it. Glasses especially.

First girl looking gorgeous .. Jacket is amazing.. Interesting blog.. Thanks for sharing..
I'm sorry, but the blond guy's glasses don't really work for me. They're far too small for his face. The rest of his look is fabulous, but the glasses look like a pair of childrens' glasses and to me this guy seems like he's not comfortable wearing them.
Love the jacket!
On the first photo. That Japanese lady is so cute, I like her Japanese accent.
Great Prada building @ Aoyama, suggest you can go to GINZA, it's also a very amaziing place, I love there so much, lots of building, Hermes and Gucci, both have Cafe inside, it's also amazing, I love Tokyo so much, haha......
Pure love jacket...

Since we're not just looking at Harajuku (thank goodness!), I suppose I'll lend my own advice for while you're still in Japan.
If you want to see gorgeous kimono, both on hangers and worn, try Kanazawa. It's a little city on the west side of the island, about 4 hours by Shinkansen. Great people, too.
If you want to meet the nicest people ever, visit Hiroshima. :3
Kyoto is full of incredible architecture and history. I understand there's a great costume/fashion museum there, too.
I'm sure you've heard of "The" Ginza in Tokyo. Very chic people there...
Anyway, there are a couple websites that do a much better job at summarizing Japanese fashion:
http://www.style-arena.jp/en/street/
http://www.japanesestreets.com/
Anyway, have a great time in Tokyo. I'm so happy you have the opportunity to experience the rich, quirky fashion of Japan. :3
Great images
Beautiful people!
Anonymous New Yorker in Seoul:
The style of the men in Tokyo do not speak to me as a slightly older, conservative man. Where are the fashionable Japanese men in suits that pervade the pages of your Milan visit? Don't they wear good suits in Tokyo itself?
I know it probably says something as dull as "no parking" but would love that big street caligraphy on a wall in my home!
Dude. That guy is so Andy Warhol-esque. Love it. Xxx.
the japanese are the most stylish and fashionable people on earth! they don't copy other countries on style, they set the trend and they are very original in the way they dress up. the japanese are the master of colour mixing and they really know how to layer their clothes in the most interesting and unusual way.
the top girl looks SO cute!
Your Tokyo shots are brilliant. I hope we get to see more of them! I recently bought a series of japanese dressmaking books and am loving the forms and techniques too!
I think I would love to stay in Tokyo, purely for the freedom of fashion that it seems to represent. The level of individuality is astounding but the fact that their outfits work is classic.
i agree with everyone~ that girl is cute! she kinda looks like the girl from the first nana movie and atsuhime...
david hockney, i love your jacket!
For anyone interested,I believe that the girl in the first picture is influenced by the Mori girl (forest girl) fashion, which is influenced by (amongst other things) Scandinavia and antiques.
[I found out about it through http://aliceetpeterpunk.blogspot.com/if you want to know more]
love the jacket!

It's no wonder that Tokyo fashion inspires international designers and celebrities who look to the Tokyo street fashion for fresh ideas. From Gwen Stefani to Jay-Z and Kanye West.They all closely watch Harajuku Teens for this unbelievable Tokyo style.
I've translated the top girl's look into thirtysomething mom wear!
