Has Japanese street style sensibilities influence Thai street fashion? I would say it is slowly creeping in. Though I would not say entirely, since we all know that Japanese style is uniquely their own. But I wouldn't blame anybody for trying to look and be that part.

Designers like Yoji Yamamoto, Kenzo, Issey Miyaki, Commes Des Garcon, and etc. are a major influence in the bigger world of international fashion. The kind of aesthetics they introduce and reintroduce to different fashion cultures around the world is a phenomenon itself.

So how big of an influence is Nippon Fashion? Well, you should see how many young people wearing CDG Play shirts around BKK. Whether it is the real deal or a cheap imitation, it can’t be denied, it is fashion. Hey, I even want one myself.
To prove a point, I recently purchased this Japanese eyeglasses (prescribed) at Siam Square, which are worn by a lot of young Thais who like the Japanese style.
Geek chic, chai mai?
