Girly Harajuku-style fashions are known the world over. Although a few American knockoff brands have popped up, there is still only one way to get to the true source, and that's by coming to Japan and checking out the shops. Shopping department Marui (OIOI) has always been a friend to the girl in need, and luckily for the rest of the world, this past weekend saw the launch of their new international online store. If you have brands such as Super Lovers, Sexy Dynamite London, or Baby, The Stars Shine Bright on your shopping list, rejoice — they're now but a credit card order away. Japanese pop culture guru Patrick Macias (of Japanese Schoolgirl Inferno: Tokyo Teen Subculture Handbook fame) is one of their consultants, and he'll be contributing original content to the site as well.
