Hi everyone! And welcome to Yuri 
              

Today I would like to highlight Tokyo            
alongside Shibuya and Omotesando as being one of the areas of Tokyo where
   
 
  
cutting edge fashions seem to converge. Harajuku  
shops of international brands and famous clothing designers from all over
Japan and around the world.
Among these, the fashion building Laforet Harajuku stands as a symbol of

the area, packed full of what is          
  

 

of other hot Japanese brands, the complex houses brands like

And with a shop on the 3rd floor, the brand Malkomalka enjoys overwhelming
popularity among fashion-leading celebrities, teenagers and men and women
in their early twenties. The brand apparently owes its name to the
 
       
   

Portuguese word for  !      !   !   !   

             
  
    
 
 
 
 
products with  !         
its core theme. With intense colors like pinks and blues, it is a brand

5 with lots of innovative designs. But the popularity the Malkomalka brand
enjoys with young customers in their twenties is not due solely to the pop
style. It is also thanks to designers who understand the structural aspects
of the clothing they create inside and out. The designers use this
knowledge of structure at the core of their creative process to create a


contemporary and   

On the streets, companies like Malkomalka are represented by a group of

increasing number of fashions allow us to read the designers true
intentions from behind the scenes.
The apparel of the youngsters on the streets is always changing and seems
to symbolize the constantly changing Tokyo fashion trends themselves.
Some even go so far as to say that one can get a better sense of what
modern day Japan is all about by ignoring politics altogether and looking
