Shinora Fashion
Shinora Fashion (シノラーファッション) is a mid-to-late 1990s fashion style attributed to Tomoe Shinohara (篠原ともえ).[1] It was a flashy, colorful style that used accessories made from plastic, beads and toys with children's school bags decorated with stickers.[1] Slap bracelets, plastic rings, large numbers of plastic bracelets, animal, wing and eye motifs were popular as well as using dollar store star stickers on the face.[2][3] Hair was typically black, cut in choppy blunt bangs with double buns and natural thick eyebrows.[2][4] Long shorts / short pants with suspenders from brands like SUPER LOVERS, crumpled socks and doc martins were popular.[3] Clothing was mostly in random primary colors.[3]
Followers of the style would be very energetic and also copy specific mannerisms from Tomoe Shinohara.[1] It is a close cousin of Decora.[1] However, where Decora uses more bright/florescent colors and has some cyber influence, Shinora uses more primary colors. Both styles involve DIY elements.[4]
