[edit] Proposed Merge with Street fashion

• Street fashion is not exlusively Japanese. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.179.97.91 (talk) 10:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

• 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)

"Lolita" is basically listed twice and even the horribly outdated Bōsōzoku gets a mention... Hilarious.Terukiyo 08:14, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Can this article get any worse? It really needs to be re-written.

The reference to nana doesn't make sense because her wiki talks about her influence on the gothic lolita fashion not the punk loli as is stated in this street/japanese fashion article.

This article is also very conversational and rife with poor/badly worded information regarding cosplay. Also, why the HELL does it link to "San Francisco Street Fashion?" Link removed due to massive fail.

• I can't believe this is the result of merging with Street Fashion. It is all just a fraction of information on a few Japanese fashion subcultures. If this isn't changed within the next two months, I will undertake to do so as I will have time then. I would gladly make it my project. Where is the history in this? The traditional fashion? Argh. Terrible. Alixinator 04:10, 9 October 2007 (UTC) 9 October 2007

This definitely needs a rewrite, that's blatantly obvious. Secondly, it lists a particular brand name as a separate fashion. Elegant Gothic Aristocrat/Lolita (EGA/EGL) was coined by Mana of Moi Dix Mois, for his fashion line Moi-même-Moitié. It applies exclusively to his line, and does not warrant of fashion of it's own. If anything, it's a subset of Gothic Lolita. I'd rewrite it, but I'm really only knowledgeable about the Lolita side of things. I'll be watching this article, with hope that something improves. 206.124.153.243 05:34, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV?

This article is tagged for NPOV. Would someone more familiar with the topic mind pointing out where this occurs? Maybe the article needs a new title? Phyesalis 05:49, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Since there was no discussion of the NPOV issues on this talk page (as is required for using a NPOV tag), I've deleted the tag.--Alabamaboy 01:26, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
