Recently you might have heard a certain Hip Hop Rapper, Nicki Minaj using the phrase “Harajuku Barbie” on her interviews or typed it on her twitter page, but the first big star that really popularized the word in the United States, and even made a song with her dancers “The Harajuku Girls” was Gwen Stefani. Gwen Stefani is a fashion icon in her own right, so it was only right she brought the term to light over here.

According Japan Guide, “Harajuku refers to the area around Tokyo’s Harajuku Station, one station north of Shibuya on the Yamanote Line”. This area is a well known spot for Japanese teenagers and their extreme sense of fashion and cultural style.

Harajuku is a fashion haven for teenagers and adults alike who enjoy shopping the various stores the streets provide, from trendy high priced garments, to used clothing, to very colorful attire that has become synonymous with the Harajuku kids and their lifestyle. Harajuku is a big fashion district with trendy designer stores like Louis Vuitton, and a lot of designer use the street culture and fashion sense as inspiration for their designs.

If you ever find yourself in Japan, make sure you go down to the Harajuku on a Sunday to witness “Costume Play”. The Harajuku kids stroll around the streets with outfits, most often with vibrant colors, second hand clothing, and mismatching, making them resemble Anime characters, Heavy Metal musicians, Movie Stars etc. The also known for their Gothic, kera and tune looks.

According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary “fresh” is an adjective and is defined as having its original qualities unimpaired or free from taint. Fresh is usually synonymous with these definitions when used, but when used in a fashion context, “fresh” is quite different.

Fresh when speaking about fashion or the overall appearance of someone or something simply means fashionable or cool. This meaning though considered the slang definition of the word, is used and widely accepted by large amounts of people, so the next time someone tells you, I think your shoes are fresh or that is a fresh outfit, they simple mean that they think what you have on is fashionable.

I have been receiving emails asking why I chose to name a fashion website RateMyFresh, and what the relationship between fresh and fashion was? Well I hope after reading this article, for those who did not know what fresh meant can now understand where I was coming from.
