FRUiTS

A magazine established in 1997 in Japan by Japanese photographer Shoichi Aoki. Also a photobook.

It showcases the trend of wild street fashions in Harajuku district of Tokyo.

Many Westerners call FRUiTS a fashion ("Being FRUiTS-y", or just "FRUiTS"), but it is only a magazine with many types of styles. Decora is often mistaken for this "style", as it has a large showcase in the book "FRUiTS".

These styles include Lolita, Decora, Gyaru/Ganguro, Second-hand fashion/Bohemian, Garage style, British Punk, and many more.

FRUiTS magazine is more popular in America than in Japan.

FRUiTS

Inititially, a Japanese magazine showcasing Tokyo street fashion that later evolved into a fashion genre all it's own. Often mistaken for kandee kid ravers, fRuIts are identified by bright colors in hair and clothes, flamboyant to subtle makeup, cutesy inclinations that mimic cartoon or anime characters, and intricate, mismatched clothes that somehow form a coherence in the lack of one. Colorful legwarmers, platform shoes, temporary tattoos of cherries, cat ears, bright wigs, and beaded jewelry are all common in the fRuIts style. There are more female fRuIts than male, however, there are plenty of male fRuIts around in Tokyo Male fRuIts are often less photographed and thus less known than the females; this is mostly due to the fact that the female fRuIts appear more flamboyant and interesting than the males. As opposed to most Tokyo street fashions, fRuIts mostly accumulate their style from themselves and homemade items rather than buying them already made at the stores. This is mostly due to the great emphasis on self-expression through complete randomness. Fruits don't necessarily have guidelines to follow like other Tokyo street fashions. Instead, the fRuIts style is simple to identify when seen amongst other fashions because it is so unique.

Other Related Fashions: decora, kandee kid, glitter goth, cyber goth, and glam.

Fruits

A food source that is not eaten or consumed, but is 'taken'. An excellent source of vitamins & nutrition.

The meal is finished. Your host asks 'Do you take fruits?' If you answer in the negative, you will be asked 'You don't take fruits?'
