AvantGarde Harajuku Halloween & 1st Anniversary Party Pictures

AvantGarde isn’t only the most popular legwear shop in Harajuku – it’s also a gathering spot for some of the most creative (and well-known) names in Tokyo’s street fashion scene. So when AvantGarde Harajuku announced they were throwing a combination Halloween Bash and 1st Anniversary Party, there was no doubt it would be a major event!

Held at Tokyo’s famous Trump Room, the Avantgarde 1st Anniversary Halloween Party featured a lineup of DJs that read like a who’s-who of Tokyo street fashion personalities, designers, and fashion bloggers: Eri Tsukimoto, Fujiwaramone (Tokyodolls/British Pavilion), Convoy (Dog), Sioux (Vive Vagina), Misha Janette (Plumb), Dj Cube, Unofumi, Ricky (TMS), Minako (Newjack,), Gucci, Technobreakrs, Dj_H / Take It Easy & Juria / Fallen Sister.

In addition to the main party, AvantGarde hired a double decker bus to take the party directly to the streets of Tokyo. Even heavy rains couldn’t stop the hoards of dressed-up partygoers from celebrating both Halloween and the amazing success AvantGarde has achieved in their first year of existence. On the floor of the party, we ran into many of the people we street snap in Harajuku every week, including Kazuhiro-san, Juria, Convoy, Ricky & Yui, aspiring singer You, Elleanor, Sioux, Misha, Jillian Kate, Momoe, Miho & Maho, Hide & many more!
