I like to see how people wear, because it generally has to do with many things of them: what they think of current fashion, and how they want to present themselves to others.
Here in Bangkok I see a lot of interesting things. Sometimes it’s a lot more interesting than seeing people in Tokyo.
In Tokyo I enjoy looking at people trying to invent their own ways of clothing, living. You get to see another side of people from the famous “cos-play” (costume play, trying to look like cartoon characters etc), “gos-rori” (I don’t know its background but they dress like typical French dolls). They are all in search for their own style.
In Bangkok, I get to see people trying to copy what they think is cool.
Typical thing, of course, is fake Louis Vuitton:
I never quite understood why people like LV, let alone its copies. I even wonder if people here know what Louis Vuitton is, its history etc.
I don’t know why this person chose these shoes. To hide something around his toes maybe?:
The recent Japanese fashion of curling hair also reached here, but I think she did too much. And too much does not mean too beautiful:
The last one… I am sure she wanted to be fashionable, but when I see how this belt actually works, it does not look pretty anymore:
I will continue all this “fashion watch” as long as I live. I hope to see more changes in Bangkok. Clothing is not copying, but being secure, protection.
