Strolling the streets of Ginza, this young lady is embracing the fun of schoolgirl fashion. What makes her schoolgirl look tick? Her pigtails, the stuffed animal charms on her lanyard, her lace-trimmed bloomer-style skirt, and her knee-high socks.
While her schoolgirl chic outfit would be difficult to pull off verbatim back in America, you could work in a single element or two. For example, pair knee high socks and Mary Janes with a sophisticated pencil skirt and blouse.

Spotted: At the Rouge, San Francisco.
The Look: The wifebeater paired with the denim miniskirt bleeds (Southern) California casual chic, but the black belt worn at the waist adds an element of sophistication to the ensemble.
Your Version: Equally laid-back, with a punch of color: Colored tank + Black Leather Belt + Denim Miniskirt.

Spring is here, and all is getting brighter…including
handbags. If you want to look spring-y, yellow is the perfect hue, for it is radiant, sunny, and not too serious. So go on, catch yellow fever or opt for a more mellow yellow.

Hip Hop Fashion as seen at the House of Mamasan Fashion Show
Hip-hop culture consists of four primary elements: MC’ing, turntablism, breakdancing and graffiti. Some might say that basketball is the unspoken fifth element, but in our humble opinion, fashion is more relevant in the fabric of hip-hop culture.
Ever since the days of the retro rap of Run DMC, there has been a phenomenal impact of hip-hop culture in the world of fashion. Think about it – the bling, the Adidas track suits, the fat laces, the hoop earrings – it’s all been a prominent force in urban street garb.
Now, the world of hip-hop takes up a reasonable chunk of the fashion industry. Brands like Roca Wear, Sean John, Baby Phat, Fetish and Akademiks play a big role in hip-hop while other brands like Triple 5 Soul and Juicy Couture are more of an authoritative undercurrent.
Sure, there are the more obvious aesthetics involved in this realm (i.e. uberbaggy jeans, Kangol hats, throwback jerseys), but there is a less blatant spectrum to this edgy world of hip-hop. And as cliché as it may sound, it’s a lot about the attitude when trying to pull off some of these hip-hop clothes. Otherwise, you’ll just look like a big poser.
