Asia's most extreme fashion trends
Asian fashion often crosses the line from edgy to “huh?”
In style capitals such as Hong Kong, women mangle their eyelashes with dyes, perms and semi-permanent extensions. Fine. But these novelty fake lashes can transform wearers into a Disney princess or Cousin It.
I blog about Japanese street style, so I’m familiar with Asia’s most outrageous get-ups. Still, plenty of extreme fashion trends come from left field and leave me with my jaw hanging. Here are photos of recent fashion head-scratchers.
La Carmina writes about Harajuku pop culture and all things spooky-cute. She is the author of three books about Japanese pop culture and food, including Cute Yummy Time and Crazy Wacky Theme Restaurants: Tokyo – for which she did all the photos and illustrations. Both books were released in October, accompanied by a US major city book tour.
