Harajuku is well-known as Fashion
Street, Shibuya of Tokyo. A shopping and entertainment
district for the young and trendy. Harajuku first burst
onto the scene in 1964 - the Olympic year. Harajuku's
fashion is an extraordinary blend of goods reflecting
the Japanese notions of "cute", "cool
and American" and "rebellious and British".
In other words a strange mixture of Hello Kitty, Disney,
hip-hop and the infamous British punk and fancy dresses.
