[edit] Proposed Merge with Street fashion

• This article deals heavily with the Street aspect of Japanese style and as such, it should be merged with the recently created article Street fashion. Otherwise, article should be greatly expanded and much more notable than its current form. --C A L L A M . R O D Y A 03:32, 13 November 2006 (UTC)i suck cock

• "Today, teen street fashion in Japan is more like the punk style in the United States. Black and purple are the most poplar colors in this fashion." Quite a weird claim as, to my knowledge, there's a heavy European influence on girls' fashion in Japan. And black and purple??

I changed it around a little, but it still needs a lot of work Calicore 02:41, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

• I have completely re-written the article, and merged "Street Fashion" into this article now. What are your thoughts? Xumm1du 13:49, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Serious rewrite

This article seriously needs a rewrite. It would be nice to see the progession from the earliest Japanese society's views on fashion, to today's fashion. Calicore 02:39, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Supposedly... Japanese Fashion changes every 6 months. That is a lot to edit. The reason why there is more punk is probably because of Nana. -MayLay 21:01, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Seriously, this article is terrible. If I manage to get through the rest of the Japanese street fashion style tribe articles that need serious rewriting, I will try to tackle this monster. If someone else can before me, please do. Really...! Accelagirl 07:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree that this article is in a horrible state. Small subcultures get attention here but actual mainstream fashion does not. Dekimasu 14:26, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

This article needs to be either (a) renamed or (b) stubbed. It gives the mistaken impression that the styles represented are "normal" Japanese fashion, whereas each of the consitutent pages notes that the styles are subcultures. Most Japanese people are not ganguro gals or "aristocrats". Dekimasu 03:08, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
