The Bad Girls of Japan - Kogal, Ganguro, Gyaru, Yamanba
Since we were talking about Japan, and Shibuya, for the record and because Japan is the fashion leader of Asia, being the conventionally unconventional, we have to talk about it and its part to play in the fashion revolution.
And the monumental fashion style - and its social upheaval - rebellion of societal norms & traditions, a call to arms for individuality, dominance and utmost indulgence: Kogal, Ganguro styles.
I'm in a little of a hurry for this entry and don't have time for a breakdown of it.
Watch this vids and get a basic understanding of these looks and what they stand for. They may not be THAT accurate from its White Western perspective of production & editing, but nevertheless worth a watch.
Basically Kogal look is the passive counterpart- whereas, its extreme Kogal stands for the overt stance in sex, celebration of independence & freedom from societal norms.
The EGG magazine (official Kogal/Ganguro media) & Fruits magazine (more on urban & cosplay street fashion) will satisfy your hunger, shall you want to learn more about this. They are available at Kinokuniya, Lido Singapore.
