Ballet Slippers Handbag, Vintage Shawl & Platforms in Harajuku

Here’s someone who we see often around Harajuku, and whose unique style makes her very hard to miss: it’s Minami from Tokyo Bopper! We’ve photographed Minami many times before. She’s also been featured in numerous Japanese street fashion magazines.

Minami is wearing a layered winter outfit featuring a vintage shawl, a knit top, a lace-adorned dress/skirt, vintage-print tights, lace ruffle socks, and white Belly Button platform shoes. She didn’t give us all of her brand info, but she said that some of her items came from Onna. Accessories include a beautiful hair bow that appears to have French(?) writing on it, a Vivienne Westwood necklace, a bow earring, Vivienne Westwood mittens, and a furry anklet. Minami’s stunning one-of-a-kind purse – which is handmade out of real ballet shoes – is from Shibuya’s Barrack Room.

Minami told us that her favorite shop is Tokyo Bopper and her favorite musician is Tommy Heavenly.
