As Highsnobiety speculates, knowing how to dress oneself in the contemporary streetwear offerings from big name Japanese brands can sometimes prove difficult, however this Bodega editorial shows a few ways that it can be successfully done.
The moody images spotlight clothing from a number of different brands, including Needles, Sasquatchfabrix, C.E. and more. Styles from these brands are shown diversely throughout, with layered looks taking over for a large part of the Bodega editorial.
For some of the images, a variety of separate looks are shown in one, with an artful collage infusing them all together. This allows streetwear-savvy consumers to consider their options more liberally, as the Bodega editorial couples looks together that they might not otherwise try.
