Sub Cultures- Harajuku Kids.

Harajuku is a urban Japanese street style where kids dress in fun and outrageous costumes and hang around outside Harajuku Station in Japan. There is no clear style or pattern to this subculture except for its outrageousness throughout, they dress as anime characters or just in fun playful comstumes they have created themselves. It first became popular in the 1990's when there was a great amount of street performers and teenagers all gathered on a sunday when the roads were closed. Harajuku has now become more and more part of fashion with designers taking inspiration from this, as well as artist like singing Gwen Stefani who used this idea and has formed her own group of Harajuku girls.
