A Fruitsy flamewar.

I simply don't see the big deal. I mean, seriously, this is a Livejournal group based off of people looking at magazines of Japanese street fashion, and deciding they wanted that style. So Gwen Stefani did the same thing? Who cares- I could see if they had slaved ten years making original garments by hand, but picking up cute accessories off ebay does not qualify you to say what people should wear.

People complain that the fashion won't be fun if everyone else is doing it. BS! What makes your style unique is you. Express yourself in your own way that is good for your body. Put your own spin on the fashion- a good style has never been about just slavishly copying someone else- it's about putting your own spirit into your clothing- about transforming yourself through your appearance. Even people in uniforms find a way to put a unique spin on their clothes- and just because some pop star bounces in and sings a song about clothes, all the sudden your fashion isn't fun?

You must not really love fashion if you can't find a good way to break the mold just because some blonde lady jumps around on TV, get a fucking grip! ...Then again, I'm a bit harsh. Many people are teens on that group, so they will be a bit less confident than older people. However, come on. Fashion is fun if you make it fun. Put some energy into your fashion!
