FAQ About The Cultural Significance of Harajuku Fashion

What are some common misconceptions about Harajuku fashion?
A common misconception is that Harajuku fashion is a single, unified style. In reality, it encompasses a wide range of subcultures and styles. Another misconception is that it's solely about outlandish or costume-like outfits; while some styles may appear extreme, many Harajuku practitioners focus on subtle layering and unique color combinations. Additionally, it is sometimes wrongly perceived as a trend rather than an established cultural movement.
