Harajuku Fashion Then and Now 🌷🌸🌿 2009 vs 2020

I think by now it's established that I find harajuku fashion history FASCINATING. In today's video we're gonna look at, and react to, some street snaps from 2009 (which incidentally happens to be when I first really got into jfashion...although that isn't why I chose that year in particular) and compare them to some snaps by the same publication from this year and see how things have evolved. Hi! I'm The Stitchess! I'm an interdisciplinary artist and seamstress. I started sewing when I was 8 and loved it so much I made it the focus of my study in college. After a lifetime of battling severe mental health issues - I found healing in the radical softness and Japanese kawaii communities. As much as I love fashion and clothing, I also think it's important to consider how and where clothing is made. I went fast fashion free at the start of 2019 to voice my concerns over the rapid consumerism gripping the garment industry. By no means am I perfect, but I think it's important to show that change is a process. I believe it is always important to strive to be better, even if perfection is unattainable. Thank you so much for letting me share my art and process with you. I hope we can all grow together!
