69 Fashion of 2010

Fashion

by Laura Cooper and Sarah Jones, posted March 1, 2011

Twenty-ten was an interesting year, especially in the world of gothic, punk, and lolita fashion where trends change rapidly. A few key trends that began in 2009 started becoming ubiquitous in and around Harajuku in 2010, and gave many of the big brands cause to rethink their direction. It was also a year of collaboration, and time and time again, VK fans could be found queuing outside h.NAOTO's La Foret store to buy a t-shirt that might get them an autograph from their fashion idol or favorite band.

Without further ado, ROKKYUU Magazine presents our 6 favorite trends and 9 favorite fashion items of 2010.

Laura Cooper started photographing rock and jazz bands at university. While completing a degree in English Literature, she was literary co-editor of the York University arts magazine and held poetry soirees with comedy jazz bands. Laura wrote for the now defunct UK Goth magazine Meltdown, as well as edited for an occult/spiritual website while she lived in York and London. She disappeared into the mountainous depths of Japan in 2006 and is now based in Tokyo, capturing rock bands in action.

Sarah began her journey into the world of Japanese music courtesy of L'Arc-en-Ciel back in the year 2000. Since then, she has combined a love of music and music journalism into writing for European Japanese music magazines and assisting with Japanese interest events in the UK. After graduating in Law from the University of Nottingham, she put 'the law-thing' on the backburner to dive into the live scene in Tokyo for 3 years. Sarah returned to the UK in September 2010 to do that 'law-thing' and now works for a Japanese bank in London. Her heart is always in the music and fashion in Tokyo and her life is balanced between her time in the UK and Japan. When she has time, she also blogs at http://lifeismerodii.blogspot.com
