Decoratively Fashionable

Japanese Culture never cease to amaze me with their weirdness in a quite good way. Last time, Gyaru was the first topic I discussed that refers to Japanese Street Fashion. This time we will have a better view of what "Decora" is all about. 

Decora Kei

Decora Kei

The word decora comes from the word decoration and kei is a japanese word which means "style". This style originated from the world's fashion capital, Japan. It was around in early 1990's when Decora started in Harajuku. Decora's main objective is to have that child-like look with the use of vibrant and lively colors in clothing, accessories and make-up. 

Decora evolved through time and to date there are 4 different styles under this fashion. 

• Casual Decora- this style are more colorful than any other sub style of Decora.

• Pink Decora- as the name suggests, this style is mostly of pink ensemble

• Decololi- also known as decora lolita. Clothing is based on Lolita rules and accessorized following Decora kei

Decora's hairstyle and make up aren't that complicated. What makes it more interesting in this fashion style is to be overly accessorized with kiddie accessorize.
