Deep tans and bleached hair, the ganguro signature<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ganguro (\u30ac\u30f3\u30b0\u30ed) is a Japanese alternative fashion style defined by a deep artificial tan, heavily bleached hair, and near-white makeup on the lips and around the eyes. It is a substyle of the wider gyaru subculture, emerged in the mid-1990s, centred on Tokyo’s Shibuya and Ikebukuro districts, and peaked in popularity around the year 2000 before a nationwide return to pale skin ended its mainstream run.<\/p>\n

Almost every element of the look inverts something in traditional Japanese beauty. Where the old ideal prized pale skin, dark hair, and restrained makeup, ganguro girls went bronzed, platinum, and loud. That inversion is the whole point of the ganguro style, and it is why the trend still gets written about a quarter of a century after it faded.<\/p>\n
