Welcome to Gaia! ::

There should be a thread on men's japanese fashion styles!

there really isn't a thing on the sub-forums as to whether it's male or female. if you start a post about the male fashions, i'm sure it would catch on. i don't know a lot about those, though, so i leave it up to you.

i think we should have a crossdressers thread because alot of crossdressers that wear japanese fashion look really cool like bou from an cafe

I think that's a great idea!
*Nods*

I think since it's so much harder to find male fashion, a plain "male Japanese fashion" subforum would suffice quite nicely.

If there was a male only section we would then have to make seperate sections for each style the men dress in.

Bou is not a cross dresser, I don't want to sound angry or a know-it-all but J-rock artists that dress in a female atire are not reconized as cross dressers. Has anyone heard about the incedent in 1996 with Mana, that was some harsh stuff.

Punk would go under the Gothic section, although you do have a point Japanese punk is getting more popular. The reason most people put punk within the gothic style is because one of the top styles of punk that people aren't scared of is Lolita Punk, which is more moe-ish. I can post some pictures if people want to see them.

Visual-kei would be under Gothic, since most Gothic styles had gotten insperation from visual-kei artists or the clothing was made/designed by visual-kei artists. Also Arisocrat and Dandy or both Gothic styles.

If someone makes a well informed thread about Dandy or Onii-kei within there respective section they will most likely be made official.

"Oh, and cause basically all of men's Harajuku-ish fashion is Jrock-inspired..." Oh really? have you seen a Sentaa Gai before or Gyaru-oh or Onii-kei or Raver? Also there is no such thing as a united Harajuku fashion. You can see all three types of fashions with in Harajuku.

A mens' fashion subforum is a great idea!
