Standing near each other on the platform: a mass fashion shoot. What is initially fresh and exciting, though, quite quickly, for me, becomes dull – especially when you see hordes of people looking the same.
And it is always fascinating to me the way that Tokyo fashion changes the way that different cultural currents converge to make people all suddenly dress in the same way how a certain ‘look’ can appear as if out of nowhere, one that all those easily influenced by such things immediately begin to adapt and perfect.
And it was a beautiful, sunny day yesterday as I headed out to my usual haunts and some new ones, blending into the crowds and observing the fashionable young J-things reading my new perfume book on the subway train rides in between (Mandel Aftel’s deliriously involving ‘Fragrant’ – review coming soon) ambling, daydreaming, and just generally enjoying the aesthetic stimulation that a day in the thriving, teeming metropolis usually affords. Cocooning yourself at home for two days in Kamakura is the best way to find yourself in the mood for a day in The Big Mikan.
