This week’s be green challenge thus far has been the
easiest and I am glad that this is the last week of the be green challenge. Due
to the amount of work load from school, I was really occupied with studying
which made me forgot about the be green challenge. Therefore I did not have the
time to surf the web for Christmas shopping or going to the stores.
In class we talked about Japanese street fashion and how
Japanese teens are producers of street fashion. The definition of street wear we
defined in class is a part of an urban adolescent youth street subculture that
makes a particular statement. This definition relates to Asian Americans by
using hip-hop as a way address concerning issues in the community. According to
the reader Japanese Teens as Producers of
Street Fashion Yuniya Kawamura stated, “Japanese fashion has inspired many
fashion professionals in the West”. This statement is also equivalent to the Western
society who watches anime which inspires them to dress like their favorite anime
characters. Here is an example from anime con where these group of women are
inspired by their favorite anime show and dressed up as their favorite anime
characters.
