Inspired by POPPLES!


Growing up, I remember seeing Popples and thinking how cute they were! These small, brightly colored teddy bears turned into balls when you fold them up! They even had cute names like Potato Chip, Pancake and Puzzle. Very similar to Care Bears, but maybe a little crazier! So, in the spirit of Easter, we put together a few outfits inspired by the season and of these cuddly 80s treasures. :)

FRUiTS!!!

One of my personal style inspirations is the work of Shoichi Aoki, the original street style fashion photographer from Japan. Aoki's line of work, including magazines STREET, TUNE, FRUiTS and .RUBY have been documenting the ever changing fashion in Japan since the late 80s. The streets of Harajuku have been an iconic place for off-the-wall style choices for years and it still maintains today. Aoki released two books combining the "best of" from his magazines called FRUiTS and FRESHFRUiTS with photographs taken between 1997-2000. (We sell these at our shop!)

The best way to describe the fashion in these books comes from Aoki himself: "I am struck by the inventiveness and freedom of the teenagers that appear within these pages as well as the creativity in of their own personal sense of style," he said. "Kids from all over Japan come to Harajuku to check out the latest fashions and become influenced by what they see and so a new trend is born." The DIY and designer vibe combined with classic elements from Japanese culture are so striking on these pages!

So, in the essence of these kids, I put together a few gender neutral outfits that I hope capture their spirits! :) In typical FRUiTS style, I'll include a small section with what each piece is!
