Kimono Fashion Show at Candy Pop Party in Tokyo

Summer is in full swing in Japan! That means hot weather and lots of fun things going on around Tokyo. Summer is also one of the few times of year when you’re likely to see lots of kimono/yukata on the streets of Tokyo. The recent Candy Pop Celebration brought together several summer favorites – a party, a yukata fashion show, and lots of kawaii Japanese magazine models!

The models on hand at Candy Pop included Juria Nakagawa, Haruka Kurebayashi, AYAME, Amihamu, Machiko, Kaoru, Minori, Itaru Missile, and Haruka (from ChocoBunny). The high point of the night was the Edge of Darkness yukata/kimono fashion show. Other entertainment included DJs, dancers, a hair styling show, pole dancers (including Nancy from Tokyo Dolores), and drag queens. There were also fashion booths where you could check out hair chalk, nail stickers, and temporary tattoos.

We brought back lots of pictures and video from Candy Pop to share with those of you who couldn’t make it in person. Please check out all of the fun below and have a great summer! Check back for our fashion snaps from Candy Pop soon as well!
