Women with bouffant hair-do's, colorful hairstyles and goth looks doesn't even begin to define the many styles featured in the Dazed & Confused December 2012 Editorial. The shoot takes inspiration from the eccentric and well-known Harajuku fashion scene present in Japan.
Interestingly enough, there is not one specific way to describe this fashion phenomenon. From Goth lolita, 'cute' Kawaii style clothing and anime-inspired wear, the only real similarities found between each is how eye-catching, eccentric and visually stimulating their appearances are. The spread also includes a cross-dressing male model, which adds another level to the already odd and mysterious Harajuku world.
Perhaps these clothes may not be everybody's cup of tea but the visually stimulating Dazed & Confused December 2012 editorial offers an engrossing experience.
