Fashion Japan Style
I love looking through Japanese Fashion Magazines, for a Muslimah there are a lot of ideas that can translate well. No surprise then that I’m excited to share with you what I found. This Japanese Magazine was brought back by my Dad and step Mum from their recent trip, well chosen by my ‘Japan fashion correspondent’ Miya (my lovely sister). I was going to wait till I uploaded them all to post them up, but I couldn’t wait to show you!
I love the contrast of the boxy grey blazer and the frilly loose floral tunic, and that long skirt is stunning! I want it!
Magazines- East vs. West
I think there were even more inspirational images in this magazine than there were in the last one I featured, I love how fashion magazines in Japan feature so many outfits. Every page is filled with different combinations, a contrast in style to the Western mags who tend to feature just one, or a few key pieces.
With all these outfits you only need a few tweaks to get them right for a hijabi. A jacket or cardigan over the maxi dress, some wide leg jeans under the floral tunic (with the jacket sleeves rolled down) and some long sleeves with the skirt. Not forgetting the headscarf of course!
