Dressed mannequins. Fashion photos from the streets of Tokyo

Fashion photos from the streets of Tokyo

According to the the street fashion, Tokyo shows so many different styles, cultures, and subcultures that it’s hard for even the most devoted fashion freak to keep up. Traditionally, each season those styles change, and subcultures come and go, brands – appear and die. In addition, there are hundreds of magazines devoted to Tokyo street and fashion photography. But magazines – published once a week or once a month. In a fast moving fashion mecca like Tokyo, trends may be gone by the time you read about them.

Meanwhile, the Website tokyofashion.com has a large gallery of fashion photographs to keep readers updated on what’s happening on the streets every day. In particular, the latest trends and trend-busters in Harajuku, Shibuya, and beyond.

Attitude is everything

Attitude is everything

John is the kind of guy you love to hate.
He is always in a good mood and always
has something positive to say.
When someone would ask him how
he was doing, he would reply,
‘If I were any better, I would be twins!’
He was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day,
John was there telling the employee
how to look on the positive side
of the situation.

Somewhere in Russia, decorated with bottle caps village house

Decorated with bottle caps village house
Very often, mostly in Russian villages, people decorate their wooden houses with improvised material, and in particular, caps from plastic bottles. In fact, the beautiful ornaments show creativity and patience of their owners. For example, creative pensioner Olga Kostina, who lives in the remote Russian village of Kamarchaga, which is in Siberia. According to Olga, she has used 30,000 plastic caps to adorn her house with colorful patterns and images. Images of traditional macrame motifs and various creatures living in the neighboring woodland decorate the walls of her wooden house. Hammering every cap by hand, Olga Kostina used the conventional macrame technique of weaving and knit knots to fabricate the detailed mosaics.

Real men know that showing kindness to the innocent doesn’t show weakness, but rather shows a more important strength. In particular, a strength of character that doesn’t weaken with age.

Not like the others. 7 famous albino animals

7 famous albino animals
According to scientists, Albinism is a congenital disorder that robs the skin, hair and eyes of color. Extremely pale, albino animals suffer from sun burns and skin cancers more frequently than non-albinos. Besides, the lack of eye pigmentation can cause problems. In particular, human albinos often require surgery or wear corrective lenses. Born in the wild, albino animals face almost insurmountable odds. Unfortunately, baby albinos – seen as an oddity within their own species and are more visible to predators. Cursed with imperfect vision, these animals may also have other health problems. And those, born in a zoo, are lucky enough to look forward to a relatively comfortable life.

This heartbreaking photo captures their first interaction with the outside world. To see daylight for first time in 30 years

To see daylight for first time in 30 years
No creature should EVER have to go through this, not for testing or anything. They were made to live, breathe, enjoy sunshine and be free, not be locked up and tortured. I am ashamed to be human. A group of chimpanzees rescued from a laboratory in Austria just got their first dose of fresh air and sunshine in 30 years. Shortly after they were born, these chimps were taken from their mothers and used for experimentation at a pharmaceutical laboratory in Austria. They were exposed to deadly illnesses like HIV and Hepatitis in order to test for possible “cures” and treatments. After a long torturous ordeal they were released to a sanctuary in 1997 but their introduction to fresh air and sunlight had to be slow.

To see daylight for first time in 30 years

This heartbreaking photo captures their first interaction with the outside world. And to think, Ninety-two percent of all drugs that pass animal testing fail the clinical trail phase after they prove ineffective or dangerous to humans. That means that any results that came out of torturing these guys was probably in vain because the likelihood of it working on humans is minuscule.

The torture is over, at least for these lucky few, and their reactions say more about the unethical nature of animal testing than any words ever could (the video was removed from my post).
