040_fashion city


Tokyo is a city of fashion. People here dress up quite well comparing to those in other Asian cities. It is interesting to note that some inexpensive-but-well-designed brands of apparel such as MUJI, among others, has created a generic appearance of Tokyoites, the same way IKEA has done to interior spaces across Europe. Salary men on the train carry similar briefcases or housewives don the same design of coats and handbags are fairly usual sight within Tokyo’s urban area. Younger women are also in favour of stiletto heels even though they don’t look comfortable at all. This photo was taken from a shop in Tokyo. Look carefully and you’ll notice an impressive number of marks caused by those killing heels.

Thanks haben (or kate?) for your support. I hardly have any spare time these days so there is not much movement for the time being. Will find some time to post more. There are also links to blogs on other cities. I'm sure you'll not be disappointed if you enjoy urbanomania-jp. :)
