Ganguro

Ganguro



It's a fashion trend that originated halfway in the 1990's. Sub-culture of Gyaru. They're sometimes called "panda girls"because of their distinctive makeup.

Makeup consists of:

  • a dark fake tan 
  • black eyeliner
  • white concealer as lipstick and eye shadow
  • fake eyelashes
  • plastic facial gems
  • pearl powder
Hair/Hairstyles:


  • colors that range from orange to blonde and even a silver gray-ish tone named as "high bleach"

Outfits:

  • platform shoes
  • bright colored outfits 
  • stickers as decorations in the face 
  • tie-dyed sarongs 
  • miniskirts
  • a lot of bracelets and necklaces


Ganguro is one of the many Japanese Fashion groups that originated as a rebellion against Traditional Japanese fashion culture. It's also said that Ganguro are sometimes linked to para para which is a form of dancing originally from Japan. But not all Ganguro practice para para, and not all para para dancers are Ganguro!

Other sub-cultures related to Ganguro are YamanbaManba, Gyaru, Gyaruo, Ganjiro. Check the tags for more information that I will soon share about those.
