Fall 2010 Fashion in Japan

In the political arena there is an increase in the number of Western politicians who pass over Japan in favor of China. Despite the fact that Japan is still the largest fashion consuming nation in Asia,several companies have chosen to do their business in places other than Japan.
Regardless of those related to Japans Fashion world who are optimistic about the situation,the global trend now is to search for a new consumer target,while promoting market openings at a fever pitch.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons Fall 2010 fashion in Japan has moved away from the late 1990's Harajuku Fashion Boom that has run its course from full-on way of life for many to just another faded trend in the fashion world.
Japan Fall 2010 fashion has evolved to a more accessible,timeless collection of styles from many different decades and demographics that are suitable for the past and present,making for a very bright future.

While the Harajuko movement saw cyber-punk infused with gothic wear,neons, and  metallics a decade ago,it was wear whatever you wanted with whatever you wanted,wether it matched or not-the more the better.
Now,although bright colors are still prevelant,the trend is definately less is more.
More 60's Mod than 90's Raver,rich hues are alive and well,only more classic than classroom as Orange and Pink trench coats and peacoats are some of the seasons biggest trends.



The 60's as well as the 80's are revitalized once again with paisley in Kyoto,the capital of Japan.
With a legacy rich with Buddhist temples,majestic palaces,and amazing gardens with some of the countrys most important works of art,its only natural that the paisley has made a comeback this fall as many wearing it on thier jackets,pants and literally on their sleeves.

Keeping up with the current American trend as well as keeping warm this Fall, leggings are also a key element in Japanese fashion right now.
 Paired up with another fashion staple,the boot, these pieces of the fashion puzzle when mixed and matched,can make any outfit classier and/or sexier with minimal effort.

Speaking of classy and sexy,the black dress,with all its possibilities,remains the most vital part of Japanese fashion. As the warm months have ended and Autumn has begun,the black dress remains the most worn and sought after item in the world,as it is any time of the year.
In the fashion arena,those in the know may not know or care about as much about politics or global markets as some,but they all know Japan has always been,and continues to be one of the leaders in fashion trends,and for Fall 2010,their future looks as bright as ever.
