To understand this style, you need to read Banana Yoshimoto’s “Moonlight Shadow”–which started the craze.

Wow…..utterly, totally cool……renewing and modernizing the ancient Japanese tradition of sensitivity to the subtle colors and textures of fabrics. No one has ever done fabric better in the history of the planet. I’ve taken to googling Japanese links for fabrics and style inspiration lately. This guy is an example of why. A billion times more aesthetically interesting than cookie-cutter corporate fashion plates. Soul and spirit. Love the frayed wrist cuff especially……altogether wonderful…………

I love the mix of proportions in this look; how the jacket is so long, but the pants are short and his hair looks so minimalistic against all those gorgeous patterns..
all of these different elements just add up to perfection!

I’m really enjoying these shots, but why is the city being repeatedly misspelled without explanation? “Tokio” is not somehow more accurate phonetically. It is less accurate. The “kyo” sound is very important.

Please stop spelling Tokyo incorrectly. People already think people in fashion are ditzy!

I once wore pyjamas in the park when I was young, it is so freeing to break the rules and get away with it. He’s doing that here, plus putting together a look that is well, wonderful.

Great modern and personal interpretation of the traditional Japanese look, very inspiring, makes me want to buy a vintage kimono and transform it my way.

The style in Tokio seems so androgynous! I love that he is wearing THAT out of the house. Can I wear a cool bathrobe too!?

Minus the woman’s handbag, this is perfection. I hate the homogenization of fashion due to air travel, internet, global retailing, so I applaud anyone who attempts a modern take on traditional regional clothing. This is BEYOND fashion, into the realm of pure style and culture.

I love the look! Mixing different styles can sometimes be difficult to pull off unless you execute it exactly right… and this is a great example of that!

I love Japan and everything about their fashion because it mixes and matches tradition with modernity so, a the same time, it perfectly matches the country itself. I have to add that asian people are naturally elegant and beautiful which makes the clothes they wear even more stunning.
This boy in this picture is handsome and delicate, effortlessly cool and modern.

Everyone keeps repeating how this mixes modern and traditional…ok…I am totally missing it. It sort of looks like something that a Japanese guy would wear. But I see nothing modern. Its just very comfortable loose clothing in a sort of typical Japanese textile. But this looks a lot better then the rest of the Japanese series. He looks elegant, and natural. Not like he is trying to be a character out of some badly written fiction.

i’d rather see this coat over denim pants or even khaki pants with a white shirt, because, to me, his look is very ‘pajamas in public’. for me, it is too relaxed to wear anywhere. i do like the coat.

His dress may be individual, thought provoking, and attention seeking, but it has no style. It may give him 5 minutes of fame but a lifetime of oblivion.

Awesome capture, perfect image of the how Tokyo looks like ….younger generations that do dress traditional, but then in their own way.
