    that scarf is kinda… creepy. but otherwise she is cute :3

  3. Love her style, very nice :) I love each and every one of her pieces (minus scarf, but that’s just personal)

  4. Maria, thanks for the comment and for sharing your view. We know that many people do not approve of fur and, in fact, there are many people who contribute to this site and certainly not all of them approve of it either. That being said, we try to let people know what current fashion actually looks like on the streets of Harajuku and other areas of Tokyo. If we never photographed anyone wearing fur, then it wouldn’t make the fur go away, it would just mean you wouldn’t know it existed. It’s like anything we all see in the news that we don’t like. If the news never reported on war or poverty or crime, that wouldn’t make it disappear. Thanks again for the feedback!

    i dont like that corpse hanging around her neck. I cringe…

  6. I hate that scaf wearing furs is wrong and it makes me physically sick especialy to see that she jept the poor things face on D’:

  7. Seriously people, don’t you wear leather? Don’t act innocent!

  8. i think it’s a good thing you’re not ‘censoring’ fur. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but not everything in fashion is everyone’s cup of tea. i dont mind personally

  9. She looks great. I’m sure she wouldn’t care if you guys were offended or don’t like the fur.

  10. i love her outfit! The scarf looks a bit fake, it possibly might be faux fur… In any case fur is very trendy in every form. I love her rocking horse shoes.

  11. Is it just me or isn’t it a little FREAKY when there is a DEAD animal around someones neck STARING at U???

  12. i don’t like fur either… i think it’s really cruel the fact of being wearing somethig like that..

    Dont like the Scarf I think its werid to were Dead things its like wering a Dead Bug but other wise i think its AH-mazing!!!

  14. The shoes r a little weird, but I LOVE everything else about this outfit! <3 (especially her purple jacket X3)

    I dont understand what the big deal is with the fur issue…everyone used 2 wear fur a long time ago and seeing it now should not be such a big deal. For some people its their job and how they survive in this world. I really think that most animals that are killed and eaten that their skin should go to something like this; at least its not withering away and making everyone go fur crazy and killing animals left and right. Killing animals is only wrong (in my opinion) if you go to far and become a poacher and start killing endangered species or driving animals to extinction. And you know wat else? Ppl should look at the positives like how not everyone is wearing fur….

  15. gosh…this is VINTAGE fur for sure…fox killed maybe in 80ties? People kill each other, rape and do all horrible things to each other so do something against that Maria Fernanda! People used to wear furs from the begining of its history and people still eating animals and use animals’ skin to make shoes and leather jackets and fancy bags. I am not fan of furs myself, but if some fur was made long time ago- animal is dead already and his skin is preserved instead of getting rotten. Give them a break! THis is a fashion web site not Greenpeace ones. Tokyo Fashion!!! Carry on!!! :) People in Japan- get dressed as crazy as you like…have fun guys,,,

    She’s so cute ^^ I bet that is very warm to wear!

    About the fur, I feel that there’s two worlds. One, the western world where the trend is not to wear fur. Two, the eastern world where fur is much sought after. I feel trapped between ;_; Because I really like the foxtails that were/are very trendy in the east, but Im really afraid to wear it when I go out because Im worried some activist will tear it off me or spraypaint me! I hate animals being killed for no reason. The demand for foxtails also means that they will breed more foxes, so I dont know… What is right anyway? No one knows, and hurray for that…

  17. I’m against fur too, and I personally think fur pieces with heads are pretty grotesque – but I’m sick an tired of seeing every post featuring fur flooded with whining!

    If you are so offended by how many Japanese people wear fur, go make an online campaing, join PETA or something, but leave Tokyo Fashion alone. Their work is just to inform, not to select what feels “right” or “wrong”. Do you people complain if the newspaper shows bad news?

    Cute outfit – love the shoes and skirt! Lovely mix of modern trendy and vintage pieces. The fur gives it such a warm, early-spring feeling!

  19. Wow this is some serious debate going on here, so im going to add my bit. To the comment about wearing leather, yes i wear leather. The difference is that leather is a bi-product from an animal that we eat, you don’t eat foxes therefore the fox was specifically killed for its fur. Its the same with crocodile skins for handbags and shoes. To the comment about people having used to wear fur, yes they did but to keep warm, nowadays we have the ability to make faux fur and have other materials to keep warm, therefore it is no longer necessary to kill for fur. Admittedly this particular piece is more than likely to be vintage so before faux fur was readily available.
    It is silly that people expect Tokyo Fashion not to post pictures of people wearing fur in case it offends someone, the folks in Japan will still be wearing it whether its posted here or not. I may not like the real fur but i can still appreciate the overall outfit. P.S. i love the jacket!

  20. This girl is a walking CONTRADICTION — she has a DEAD ANIMAL around her neck and yet she wears a LARGE CRUCIFIX around her neck, wears a pin of JOHN LENNON (who was a big advocate against the killing and cruelty of animals purely for VANITY and PROFIT), and she wears stockings with CUTE HEARTS on it…obviously this girl has NO BRAIN and cannot contemplate any presence of morality in her outward statement!

    Ohhhh uhhhhh wait a minute…can I have her PHONE NUMBER??? Heehee!

  21. Nice outfit but again I’m not so sure about the ‘fur’ scarf I do wear leather shoes, well i did when i was at school. I do agree with Emma about how with leather we kill cows and eat them while fozes are just killked for their fur. Hmmm… I’m not that keane on fur myself but if people want to wear it why can’t they maybe try and wear faux fur??? Just saying I love the tights and shoes and the john lennon pin is a cute addiction :-p

  22. The reason why there is always “whining” about fur on these posts is because people sit and their computer and type, with a straight face, stuff like: “but our ancestors used to do it!” and “at least the fur isn’t being wasted!” and think they’ve made some kind of valid argument. The mind reels! Seriously, if you have to go THAT far to make yourself feel better, maybe you could save yourself a lot of mental energy and just own up to the fact that you are working backwards from what you want, making it “okay” after the fact. God!! Just be honest for once and wear your fur knowing full well that you’d rather look frumpy and Nouveau riche than spare a fox from having an electrical prod inserted up his anus. So many arguments would be avoided if the people who wore this kind of stuff didn’t feel the need to lie about where it came from and how it was made.

    Everyone has the right to photograph/report/wear/buy what they want, but if you’re going to pretend that you’re harkening back to some primitive, noble human instinct, then you deserve to be called out as the self serving, overreaching weenie you truly are.

    As for the argument that it’s on trend…many designers are only using fur and making it “trendy” because they are getting free fabric from furriers. It’s sponsored content, about as chic as wearing a starbucks logo.

  23. I really dont like people that wear fur. It should be banned all over the world. I think everyone that wear fur or think its ok to wear fur should get their skin ripped off alive aswell and let someone parade around with their skin just to show off and look good. A big NO to all fur and people that wear fur.If you really feel that you want to wear it there are tons of nice fake fur that no one has been killed for that these people could wear insted.

    Stop the fur industry now!!

    lol @ Maria Fernanda

    you must understand that japanese people live within a bubble, they try to copy western styles – and basically the translation gets lost – that is what i enjoy about japanese fashion. they are not aware about the meaning of fur – its more of (that’s cute, thats vintage europe style, i’ll wear it) so pls dont hate on her. it nothing to do with “trendy” japanese young people wear this kind of fur for the last 20 years – if you look back.

    its like the japanese brand Neighbourhood useing Nazi SS logo’s and badges a few years ago, or more recently the boy band Kishidan.

    they think it’s edgy and cool, totally unaware of the gobal language.

  25. I hate the fur that she’s wearing, really disgusting.

  26. How it’s possible – are there any people rest that like the dead animals to hang like that … it’s so disgusting …

  27. Hmm dunno how I feel about the fur stole, (altho I do like real fur) the rest of her outfit is super cute!

  28. Does anyone know what that style of hat is called. I really really want one. D:
