In a city with such an incredible sense of style, uber-hip (and uber -cute!) kids clothes are no exception. Tokyo fashionitas’ moto? Teach them well!

Halloween outfits? No, just teenagers in Cos-play (costume play) posing like vampires at noon on Jingu bridge. Don’t know what to wear to this Xmas family reunion? From neogothic lolitas to grungy manga characters, there’re heaps of subgenres to choose from. No doubt your mother in law will love it!

Although less than one hour by train from Kyoto, Osaka is the counterpoint of the Japanese experience.

We’ll just curl everything up into a tight [...]

We will be in Paris from 18 December. Let us know if you’re there!
