Tokyo Girls Collection Spring/Summer 2011

Tokyo Girls Collection - The biggest fashion show in the East just wrapped up another successful season, with over 23,000 people in attendance, 24 collections and live streaming on Youtube for the first time ever! The thing I love most about TGC is that unlike fashion shows in NY, Paris, etc, the runway at this show is like a dance floor at a club, the models are all smiles and the atmosphere is carefree, relaxed -not a show that Anna Wintour would enjoy but everyone is there to enjoy the clothes and music (K-pop group 2PM performed this year). Those lucky enough to be close to the stage even get a chance to catch and keep the accessories that the models throw out into the crowd! It is my dream to be able attend a TGC show one day, they always look like so much fun ;P

Uniform fashion [aka JK fashion] has been really popular in Japan the past couple of years, thanks to a J-pop girl group called AKB48. The school girl style has given Japanese girls a creative outlet so that no two 'uniforms' are ever alike. They even contests to see who can create the most kawaii and unique school girl looks.


The perfect casual everyday summer look: a flowy skirt, loafers and a boyfriend blazer

Bows will never go out of style

Loving this different take on the maxi dress!
The summer safari look for the city gal with wedge shoes and a lace coverup.

I predict that this is the only time socks with sandals would be accepted! But if I see anyone wearing socks with crocs, I will create a wall of fashion shame for you on my blog!!! This is how you mix classic and nautical styles together, kawaii ne~


Exactly what I'd like to wear to a picnic at the park


Sexy Minnie Mouse Librarian look? Oh, who cares what it's called, it's super kawaii!
Strappy wedges are undeniably THE shoe to have this summer!

Native American / Tribal style? The prints and patterns and feathers just screams New Mexico desert to me; road trip anyone?

Florals are always a must for a Spring/Summer collection, but FRUITS? I'd be more impressed if there were real fruits on it and the model pulled them off to eat as she walked/danced on the runway lol

I wants to play Twister ON him ;P


Looking at this collection makes me feel like summer can't get here any sooner!!! There were over 80 models, plenty of great outfits that I didn't feature so click here to see what else was shown at TGC!
What summer trends are you looking forward to?

Summer trend? Spring hasn't even arrive here! jk ;)
So many pretty looks! Asian fashion ftw! Some are really cute, but I'd never be able to pull off those really cutesy looks, speshly the school-girl ones. I see lots of wedges in the photos which is great because I much prefer wedge shoes over heels.
