Decora

Decora is a Japanese word shortened from the English word "Decoration". And that's what Decora is. Decoration. Wearing as many accessories (and sometimes even toys) as possible. You'll be able to hear a Decora coming a mile away - with all their necklaces and accessories clanging against each other.
Most people find Decora via the FRUiTS magazine - and will call this style 'FRUiTS' until they realise the proper name for it. Everybody loves Decora for different reasons. Because it's different and colourful, or just because it's cute.
Like any other trend, there are several rules to go by with Decora, but generally there are no rules. It takes months of practice and mix-n-matching to get the Decora look perfect. Decora is more than just a load of hairclips on one's head and five or so necklaces.
Many look to Decora for inspiration, as it just screams "LOOK AT ME". Different fashions such as Scene and Oshare have taken a few ideas from Decora, making it even harder to look truely Decora.
Decora is all about never growing up. Decora is one of the few fashions where you don't have to make yourself look sexy.
It's not about showing off your body, but showing off your clothes and creativity. Also unlike other fashions and lifestyles it's not about trying to look rebelious or super grown-up. It's all based on looking and being happy, cute, and unique.
Some "Decora Artists" are: Shintani Ryoko, tamura yukari, himeyuri, paradeis, eimy, Sug, perfume, hello! project, and Kotoka, although Decora isn't realy a music scene in itself.
Although the accsesories are the most important part of decora, there is a fashion attatched to it. Namely layering. Usually bright, and cute; popular colors are red, pink, and white. Gloves; many pairs of socks layered over each other; brightly colored converses; pink skirts and brightly colored jackets/t-shirts, maybe with anime characters on them, are all typically worn by Decoras.
