-SUPER LOVERS-

Founded in 1988 by designer Yasuharu Tanaka,
SUPER LOVERS emerged from ’80s culture and ’70s–’80s London street fashion.

After opening its first store in Daikanyama (1990), the brand expanded to Shibuya PARCO and Laforet Harajuku, becoming a key force in 1990s Harajuku club & street culture.
Spin-off labels like LOVERS ROCK and LOVERS HOUSE, with its iconic panda characters Merry & Ken, further defined the brand’s playful yet rebellious identity.

Frequently featured in FRUiTS magazine, SUPER LOVERS was captured not as styling, but as a way of life, helping shape Harajuku street fashion as a global culture.

Relaunched in 2019 as a donation-based brand, SUPER LOVERS continues to be recognized as a root of 90s Harajuku, Y2K, and subcultural fashion.

#japs #harajukustyle #londonvintage

A self-expression movement that defined Japan’s Y2K era in the early 2000s.

From flip phones and nails to bags and purikura,
everything was meant to be decorated.
Instead of using things as they were,
people customized them with rhinestones, glitter, and stickers —making each item completely their own.

More is more.
Adding, not subtracting.
Not just cute — but fully done.

Deco culture is about decorating objects as a way of expressing yourself.

It’s the root of today’s Y2K revival, phone case decorating, and fan customization culture.

We focus on Aomoji-kei items — a Japanese fashion style rooted in Harajuku culture.

Aomoji-kei originates from magazines with blue logos such as Zipper, Soup., and CHOKi CHOKi GIRLS, and represents a fashion movement that values individuality, creativity, and freedom of expression. Rather than following fixed rules or trends, Aomoji-kei embraces casual silhouettes, playful details, and styling that reflects one’s personal identity.

In contrast, AkamojI-kei comes from red-logo fashion magazines like CanCam, ViVi, and Ray. This style emphasizes femininity, polished aesthetics, and mainstream appeal — often associated with “cute,” refined, and trend-driven looks.

Our Aomoji-kei selection ranges from Harajuku-inspired styles to bold, statement-making pieces.
Rather than dressing for others, we curate items for those who choose clothing based on their own sensibilities and values.

If you’re drawn to personal style, street culture, and authenticity,
Aomoji-kei is at the core of what we offer.

-Cecil Mcbee FUR COAT-

An icon of 2000s Shibuya style, CECIL McBEE defined the golden era of gyaru fashion in Japan. With body-conscious silhouettes, bold designs, and an unapologetically glamorous vibe, the brand was a go-to for the confident, fashion-obsessed girls of Tokyo’s youth culture.

Loved by “onee-gyaru” and featured in nearly every issue of egg and Ranzuki, CECIL wasn’t just a brand — it was a movement.
