Harajuku Street Chic Demonstration and Fashion Show January 10, 2010

The Harajuku district in Tokyo is the heart of the city's fashionable youth subculture. Every Sunday, "Harajuku Girls" gather there to socialize while dressed in a variety of street styles inspired by the Victorian era (Gothic Lolita), animated characters (Cosplay), or other contemporary influences. In this program, local experts will illuminate this uniquely Japanese fashion phenomenon, followed by a tutorial, fashion show and refreshments. Presented in cooperation with T-MODE, an annual event celebrating the fusion of Asian, Western and Urban pop culture.
