Kawaii 101

Kawaii means Cute in Japanese!


“Decora is a Japanese fashion subculture about kawaii (cuteness) and being childlike. It is about heavy mix and match of colors, themes and layers, a lot of layers of clothing. Early decora style goes like basically mix and match since the early 90s. (Deocra girls) Often called ‘Decora-chan’, these girls roamed the streets of the Harajuku and Shibuya districts in Tokyo during the mid- to late-90s.
The style is said to originate from the Japanese pop idol Tomoe Shinohara, who hosted television shows and sang hit songs in fluffy petticoats and knee-high colored boots.”- DeviantArt
