Harajuku Style (At the Horev Centre)

The successful exhibition "Harajuku Style - Japanese Street Fashion" arrives at the renovated Horev Centre.

*The exhibition will be on display between the dates: 02.04.17-30.06.17. Admission is free!

Background on the exhibition:

Every Sunday young Japanese people visit Tokyo's vibrant entertainment centres and the large urban fashion districts. They are dressed in specially invented costumes in a variety of colourful, exciting and somewhat unpredictable styles. Most of these young people gather on the Jingu Bridge (Jingu-bashi), connecting the Harajuku railway station and the spacious Yoyogi Park. They are part of a fascinating sub-culture flourishing in the city, and are aficionados of music and rock bands and their outfits that inspire the street fashions.

The Dutch journalist and photographer Kjeld Duits, who has lived in Japan since 1982, launched the website “Japanese Streets” in 2002. This is one of the first websites to survey Japanese street fashion, and is the first one in English. Duits’s photographs of the eclectic, avant-garde and often spontaneous fashion styles express the remarkable innovation and creativity of the young people of Japan.
