Someone in that article's comments claims it was the photographers being too picky about their subjects. I can sort of see where they're coming from given that during the 90s, fashion like this not only became increasingly acceptable to youth but also people were trying to forget their post-bubble worries with whatever distractions they could find. Dressing eccentrically and in a way that says 'fuck being a salaryman or a housewife' is a pretty strong way of doing that, going against what had been the norm since after WWII. However minimalism has been popular lately and I guess stores like Uniqlo and Muji work perfectly for that. You get good quality stuff at a cheap enough price so that you can change your colour scheme, wardrobe etc without having to sell all your stuff again and make a big loss. I guess then a person dressed maximally becomes even rarer, which is a both good and bad thing. Maybe in another 15-20 years we'll see people walking around like that again, I hope so anyway.

Does anyone know about taking street snaps for personal use? Do people mind? Im looking at going to japan for a month this year or next year and using it as a photography trip. Seems like taking photos of people dressed in full N(N) etc would be pretty fun and interesting.

Makes me pretty happy to see a thread like this on /fa/ anyway. I might dump some photos I have saved that are mostly from tokyofashion

Pretty sure Fruits is girls only or crossdressing boys. There's a mens version too I think but I forget the name.
