Crow tribe
The term “Karasu-zoku” (Crow Tribe) refers to people who favored a head-to-toe all-black style that became popular in the 1980s.
Until then, black in Japan was mainly associated with funerals, but the crow-like, black-based fashion was innovative and came to symbolize the youth of that era.
It coincided with the DC brand boom, and people wore labels like Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto.
The clothing materials were wrinkled with distressed holes, and the overall silhouette was loose and oversized.
In conclusion
Looking back at Showa-era fashion, we realize that amid the shifting trends of the times, there’s a timeless charm packed within.
