LAFORET TOKYO SHOPPING CENTER: H.NAOTO, ATELIER PIERROT, METAMORPHOSE, EGL.
Yesterday, we visited Emily Temple and Jane Marple on the upper floors of Laforet, Harajuku’s major shopping complex. Dainty and darling… but if you’re anything like me, you’d rather spend time with the punks and the pirates. Avast – to the underground!
On the descent to level B1, you’ll have to steer past Putumayo, Algonquins, and Alice and the Pirates…
Black, white, and pink stripes: emblems of the Harajuku punk tribe Algonquins. My favorite piece was an aqua-colored top with long black strips looped over the front.
The girl is wearing a giant panda backpack.
Super Lovers’ starry-eyed pandas are next door. Around the corner, there are racks of fashion magazines and music (see my Laforet video tour for a glimpse).
Walk down half a level to B1.5, and you’ll be greeted by the lock-necked swans of Metamorphose temps de fille.
Alice and the Pirates is one swashbuckling brand (and probably my current favorite).
Also underground: Stigmata, Black Peace Now, Mille Fleurs, Choice x Sexy, Black Lab by Hiderock, and Putumayo.
The H.Naoto boutique had the most morbid accessories display I’ve ever seen. Fingernails and ants were embedded to the shelves with globs of clear glue! I tried on a dress from his new collection (it was $175-ish).
In the Atelier Pierrot shop, a towering male Goth Loli was trying on Victorian hats with his cheery Lolita friends.

Can you please tell me the address or where this shopping center is? ^ ^
You're very pretty, too ^ ^
It's on Meiji-doori in Harajuku… go down Takeshita doori when you exit the station, and when you reach Meiji doori, turn right. It's 1-2 blocks down
Ahh! Thankyou so much ^ ^
I wonder if they'll still have the stores there after a few years…
Since thats when I get to go overseas myself… V___V.
They'll still be there for sure :)
A few boutiques just opened in the San Fran New People World, so I think it's a good sign of continued expansion!
Really? I told my dad to take me to San Francisco soon because I heard there was a Baby, The Star Shine Bright there? o:
Thanks for the infos! ^ ^

I've been in Tokyo for soon three months, and I'm going home next week. I've been to Laforet so many times, ahaha. Though, I only got h.naoto from there. As for Putumayo, I usually go to the Putumayo store on Harajuku street. And the rest of the brands are too expensive.
I'm going to miss Laforet basement floors something awfully. ;__;
It's such a great place to spend some extra time in.
