The Harper's Bazaar Indonesia 'Harajuku-ers' photo shoot is inspired by the Japanese street style that is seen in the Harajuku district in Tokyo. Pop star Gwen Stefani and the Harajuku Girls made the decora fashion internationally popular back in the mid-2000s and ever since people have been enamored with this culture's vibrant and eccentric outfit choices.
Shot by photographer Nicoline Patricia Malina, the Harper's Bazaar Indonesia Harajuku-ers editorial is as colorful and funky as the fashion itself. From carnival settings to arcade backdrops, this photo shoot takes advantage of the most vibrant scenes available. Playfully styled by Michael Pondaag, models Ksenia Katerina and Olga had their candy-colored hair and makeup done by Qiqi Franky, which help embellish the looks even more.
