How other Countries view Fashion in Japan

            Fashion in Japan is not only a big contribution in Japan, but also in other countries like the U.S and Europe. Famous brands in Japan like Commes de Garconnes and Unigln are also worn in the U.S and Europe and they are gaining popularity fast, not only those brands but also many other labels. Japan is influencing western styles and the people love it! When camouflage was in style, not many knew it had come from Ura-hara. And that is something that is very common in fashion. Whenever a new style comes out, everyone is on a rush to have the latest clothing. But, no one cares where it came from. The Japanese fashion is being accepted by many people especially teens around the world. Although, teens are not the only ones after Japanese fashion, famous celebrities like Gwen Stefani are also on the chase. Gwen Stefani used Harajuku girls as backup dancers in 2004. Designers all over the world are also being inspired by Japanese fashion. World famous designers like John Galliano, Elie Saalo, and Karl Lagerfeld look at Japan for inspiration. For example, John Galliano inspired by Japanese artistic elements, created his Dior handbag collection. Elie Saab was inspired by the traditional Japanese Kimono to create the spring-summer haute culture collection (Rajia). Knowing this, I have realized that Japan is doing a big movement in the fashion industry.
