What is your style, and how long have you been interested in fashion?
I'm not sure about what particular style I have ^^" But Japanese street fashion has been the heart of my clothing inspirations. I actually grew up watching a lot of anime so have always had a great deal of admiration for Harajuku fashion. Recently, I've been looking upto a lot of gyaru bloggers and am loving the trend!
How did you discover your style?
Anime introduced me to some of the most awesome J-rockers. They were, in fact, my first ever style icons. When I was fifteen, I would regularly wear studded belts on skinny jeans, and paint my nails black. I have a friend back from school who is really into ganguro and gyaru and am indebted to her for introducing me to the style!
When do you dress in your style?
At the moment, I'm experimenting gyaru-kei with rokku and dress up according to it whenever I'm meeting up with family and friends. During other times, like going to lectures, I always go for Amekaji.
Do you like to follow fashion rules, or create your own?
I like following some fashion rules but am not too strict about it. The first ever rule I followed and still do on formal occasions, was given to me by my mother, about always matching the colour of shoes with that of the handbag. I also like customizing some items like handbags and jeans, and normally don't follow any rules for it.
Do you have one item (clothing, accessory, cosmetic) that is your signature?
I don't think I have a signature item but I often wear black and my big thick glasses :D
What do you think is important about fashion?
I would say that the most important thing is about being yourself. I used to be a bit hesitant about expressing myself through clothing but have come to learn that you have a lot more fun when you are confident about yourself and the way you dress.
