Shironuri

You've probably seen this street fashion trend called "Shironuri". Participants of this substyle paint their faces white and wear clothes and accessories that inspire Japanese folk tales, pop culture horror, and nature.

Shironuri literally means "painted white" and it draws inspiration from Geiko and Maiko makeup styles.

Minori

Thanks largely to Tokyo Fashion, Minori is probably the most well known Shironuri artist to Western enthusiasts. So much so, that a lot of people who attempt it on their own think that what Minori wears *is* Shironuri. Yet, the long, flowing, tattered layers that she designs are not Shironuri on their own. You're only wearing Shironuri when you paint your face white. I've made sure to include pictures of her wearing pants and bloomers to show that even she breaks her own perceived mold on regular occasions.

However, Minori's love of nature has inspired some awesome American coords:

Savannah on the left and Lauren on the right, took advantage of a very rare snowfall by dressing up for some stunning pictures.

Savannah and Lauren are also designers of alternative fashion accessories. Check out Kawaiicore for some awesome and unique additions to your wardrobe!

Brandy attended a Shironuri meet up last summer.

Brandy is also an artist! Check out Metro Jack, a yaoi webcomic.
