So I know technically we should be talking about the new launches from Apple this week but quite frankly aside from the cute compact iPod Nano, the new iTunes mobile phone is quite a bore. Its Friday (almost the weekend, thankfully), and perhaps a fall shopping weekend lies ahead for you. Lets turn to the streets to see what’s trends are going on. That is, the streets of Tokyo…
I’ve always admired the hip coquette style of Japanese women. Not only are they savvy in the high-tech mobile world, they really do define their own notions of fashions sense. One trend that doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon is the love Japanese women have for high-end designer handbags. From Louis Vuitton to Christian Dior, no ensemble is complete without a two thousand dollar bag. Hmm…is this why they are so petite and skinny? One recent Japan transplant noticed this and decided to explore this social phenomenon on the new blog Handbags and J-Girls. Who knew that handbags could fuel so much content and discussion just by observing a cultural obsession?
