The sad thing about the sort of tiktokification of fashion styles is that I will go on the mori kei tag on there and all the comments are like “where can I buy this??” Like it���s mori kei. go to a thrift store. Sure there are some J fashion brands if you want one very specific piece. But if you’re just trying to get into the style thrift stores are the best place to go! It’s this idea that came about during covid I think where you have to buy everything online, searching keywords into Aliexpress and shein. All of my favourite items I have are from my local thrift stores. And you end up with much more unique pieces as well as saving money! Moral of the story don’t give your money to fast fashion!!! You don’t need specific brands to get into certain fashion styles!!!!

🌻My newest dress🌻

Hello friends, it's getting warmer and nicer every day! When I found this warm toned indian throw in my local thrift I fell in love instantly and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!

🌻 Long tiered sundress with shirred back and waist ties, made of thrifted indian cotton print using self-drafted bodice and skirt pattern.

This weeks harajuku fashion style is Mori kei!!!

History of mori kei:

Mori girl was founded by a woman named choco on mixi (japanese facebook) in 2006 but this particular style has existed even before its recognision, choco just gave that style a name. Mori stands for forest in japanese and it translates to forest girl. There were several rules created for mori girl, which even the ogs of that style didnt follow completly. In 2012 mori girl was renamed to be mori kei to be more inclusive of its sub-styles

Rise to popularity

After the mori girl mixi group was created, many people started to participate in that style and street photographers began to feature them more often in their magazines. There were also several magazines and issues completly dedicated to mori kei such as: spoon, mori girl lesson and fudge. There was also music created that was inspired by the mori girl style and an anime named honey and clover which features the main character wearing this style.

In 2013-2014 most mori style stores have shutdown because of its decrease in popularity over the years and popular mori kei personalities have deactivated their blogs. Mori kei is still alive but its not as popular as it was before.

Brands

Mori kei never seriously relied on brand clothing, but there are still some brands that make/made mori kei styled clothing and this includes:

•Wonder rocket-was the most recognisible Mori brand and opened in 2007 and shutdown after ten years.

•DearLi- a chinese company that has been and is known for its past mori fashion lines

•Q-pot accessoires

•Earth,music & ecology

•Birkenstock

and many more which you can find on:

Autumn in summer, and summer in autumn.

These pictures were taken on a cool (18°C) July day, when the only things reminding us of summer were the sunlight, the sky colour and the flowers. That day, I felt like dressing in autumn colours. Today, it's October 4th, but the temperature has reached 29°C, which is quite abnormal in Québec. Is it a bit concerning? Definitely. I guess it's once again my cue to encourage you to thrift durable things instead of buying new, at least, when you can. And durable means you can keep your loved things for a long time! I know we all have a big footprint on our poor planet, but we might as well try our best to reduce it in ways we can for the short time we are here.
