Ever feel like game character design has become, I dunno, bland? Shame because thereâs so much inspiration, walking around in the hip parts of Japan.
Please note that âregularâ Japanese people do not dress this funky or outrageous. Thereâs a reason why these folks are popping up in these âstreet snapâ photos, and thatâs because theyâre cutting edgeâor simply ridiculous. Neon Evangelion Genesis shirts? Back to the Future II hats? Bless them!
Thereâs a tradition of âstreet snapâ photography that dates back a few decades. During the late 1990s, photographer Shoichi Aoki perfected the art with his magazine Fruits, which covered street fashion in Tokyoâs Harajuku.
Even if these are outfits arenât something youâd be caught dead inâand remind you more of cosplay than fashionâyou gotta admire the balls it takes to pull off these duds.
