Japanese Clown-Inspired Street Style in Harajuku w/ Hello Kitty, Shironuri Makeup & Room Shoes

20-year-old Japanese beauty school student Rikito wearing a clown inspired style on the street in Harajuku, Tokyo. This street snap was shot on Rikito’s 20th birthday and he was wearing all vintage/resale fashion, a Hello Kitty with a face (that appears to be burned in), and Japanese room shoes.

Rikito has become well-known in the Harajuku street style scene this year as a result of his very original sense of style. Rikito often combines kimono, geta, and traditional Japanese fashion elements with a mix of more modern resale/vintage fashion pieces (sometimes from vintage shops, sometimes borrowed from his mom) along with shironuri makeup influenced by everything from manga to Japanese history and classic French mimes.

While Rikito’s favorite fashion designer is Japanese legend Yohji Yamamoto, he doesn’t generally wear brand clothing.
