SPANK! Tokyo – Kawaii 9th Anniversary Party Pictures & Video

SPANK! is one of the original 1980s-inspired super-kawaii fashion brands in Tokyo. When people around the world think of Japanese “fairy kei” fashion, the images that come to mind are fun girls dressed in cute-and-colorful pastel styles with mix-and-match resale and new fashion accessorized with 1980s toys and imagery. These are all elements of the Tokyo style tribe which congregates around SPANK! Tokyo.

SPANK! Tokyo Kawaii Fashion 9th Birthday Party (55)

SPANK! was founded by Japanese fashion designer Tavuchi, an instantly recognizable personality around the streets of Harajuku, Koenji, and beyond! For the full story, check out our SPANK! Tokyo brand profile and interview with Tavuchi, which we published several years ago.

In 2013, SPANK! is celebrating nine kawaii years as an influential part of the Japanese fashion scene. When Tavuchi announced she was throwing a SPANK! birthday party – complete with cute Japanese fashion, Spank!Girlz, music, art, sweets, and more – there was no way we were going to miss it! So, TokyoFashion contributor Kaila (aka Rainbowholic) grabbed her camera and made a run for SPANK! HQ in Koenji! Enjoy Kaila’s fun pictures and video. And please join us in wishing SPANK! a very very Happy 9th Birthday!
