Harajuku fashion icon Juria Nakagawa

Harajuku is the place for new fashion icons.
On of the girls who is super popular on Tumblr right now is Juria Nakagawa.
Juria is 17 years old, works for the tights shop Avantgarde and she also is a model and DJ.
She calls her fashion style Fancy girl.
I would describe it as sexy cool.

When I was walking in one of the back streets in Harajuku with my friend Danchelle
we saw Juria and asked for a picture.
I really love her hair! It always looks perfect!
Also I really like her Tokyo Bopper shoes!



























Here are some more of her street snap pictures by Japanese streets,
so you can see her style.
Also you can see that her hair changes all the time.

Japanese new trend tattoo tights

Since a while there is a new trend in Japanese fashion, skin colored tights with tattoo images on it.
You can find them in any fashion store in Japan and I am sure almost every girl owns at least one
pair at the moment.
They are mostly seen worn in Harajuku.
It is a fun way to make your outfit extra special and without getting a actual tattoo.



I decided to order my self a pair from the Japanese brand Avantgarde.
Unfortunately they don't ship world wide,
but I am lucky to have friends in Japan who can send it to me.

 

I wore the tights a few days ago when I went shopping with a friend, you cannot believe
how many stares I got, I did not realize people don't know these tattoo tights in Holland.
At one point a guy asked me if it was a actual tattoo or if I drew them on my legs,
I told him they are tights, and he was very surprised.

So outside Japan you are sure to have an eye catching item! 
If you can get your hands on a pair be sure to get them!






As a substitute you could try these tights by Wolford.
I am sure Wolford is sold in a lot of countries.
I got these two in sale, so they were around 23 euro each.
The Avantgarde tights were about the same price.
