Once
upon a time, three years ago in Japan two friends were hanging out
dressing in a fairytale layered DIY style when one said to the other
"You look like you belong in a forest." (My friend told me the same
thing!) Thus, the Mori Girl movement in Japan was started...They say all
ideas stem for a collective unconsciousness at the same time in many
places across the universe. If that's true, I am so trippin right now!
As many readers of this blog may recall, three years ago I went on a vision quest where I saw The Forest and started to eat, breathe, live and dress accordingly.
Mori
translates to Forest in japanese, and many of these girls spend their
time knitting, journaling, haunting secondhand book stores and walking
through the woods. Here in America, I spend my time making hemp
jewelry, writing in my witch's notebook, and haunting thrift stores!
The Mori style is based on delicate laces, frills, layers, antique and
DIY elements. Girls in the subculture often make a forest in cyberspace
with blogs and online profiles dedicated to their relaxed lifestyles.
While
my interpretation of Forest Fashion is all about artifice meeting the
natural, bringing fantasy to reality, and sometimes surreal and bright;
The Japanese counterpart is much more natural and true to the Forest. I
for one, am soo inspired! How to dress with the magic of Mori? Add
brown leather, vintage and lots of layers!
Japanese women look nice mostly because of how they dress!
ReplyDeleteJapanese women try so hard to be looked nice and more like models on the magazines but no t so much by working out to have an actual nice toned body but by dressing up and make-up. You may be able to see a lot of Japanese women in the major cities go to the gym regularly but not so much in suburb areas. Japanese women are typically small and thin already, but a lot of them still want to be thinner to be like a runaway model. Anyway, the point here is that they know how to dress nice that match with their thin figures but still sexy. A lot of men are attracted by their look with those clothes on.
