Kawaii can be so much more than big eyes, frilly dresses, and pink everything! I'm still learning some of the separate genres, but one of the most kawaii-est style of Japanese street fashion that I like is fairy kei. So what's fairy kei? I've heard it described as kawaii style meets 80's pop. So you'll see tutus, scrunchies, famous 80s characters (care bears, mlp), converses and leg warmers - all awesome and just a small part of what you can find in these outfits. From what I seen, they usually come in pastel, or bright pinks, blues, whites, and polka dots.
Paving the way for this fashion is a street popular designer, Moco. She's the most adorable girl (pictured above), that attends a design college in Japan. With her partner Tomo they create fairy kei and kawaii fashions that they sell in their pop-up shop in Harajuku. Definitely a must see if you're ever in that area!
She's also been featured in a couple of magazines!

Now onto more fairy kei stuff:
Here are some REALLY cute orbital tights that have an ombre color from pink to purple. Adorable!
