From my pinterest account and looking at some paul mitchell photos, they had a ganguro girl. Something i know about since i'm heavily influenced and in love with Japanese Street Fashion. Whomever wrote the negative comment on P.M.'s pinterest about ganguro girls, ridiculing their fashion and creative nature- i decided to educate those who are unknown to them. Instead of ignorance getting in the way of understanding a different culture. A lot of trends come from Japan and work their way around. The world of Ganguro is rather interesting, and dressing up is always fun to do.
What is Ganguro?
Well Ganguro in literal translations means black face girls. Ganguro girls is a form of gyaru- which translates into gal. It is a unique and a very rad japanese street fashion. In ganguro fashion, a deep tan is combined with hair decolorized/lightened in shades of orange to blonde, or a silver grey known as “high bleached”. Black ink is used as eye-liner and white concealer is used as lipstick and eyeshadow. False eyelashes, plastic facial gems, and pearl powder are often added to this. Platform shoes and brightly-colored outfits complete the ganguro look. Also typical of ganguro fashion are tie-dyed sarongs, miniskirts, stickers on the face, and lots of bracelets, rings, and necklaces. This type of style is rebellious, and often goes against the traditional asian culture social beauty ideal image of fair skin and dark hair.
(Subtle Ganguro girls above and below is more closer to a gyaru style where the girls have a more elegant appearance)
