Abstract
This study compares street fashions in Korea and Japan to investigate possible interactive influences. Women's street fashion data were obtained from two magazines in each country from the 2003 spring/summer season to the 2007/08 fall/winter season. A total of 2211 pictures were used in the final analysis. The longitudinal changes in street fashion showed a similar trend toward full coordination, the increased use of colors and prints, and the influences of global fashion trends in both countries. The results showed a time lag between the two countries in the adoption of some clothing items that suggest the influence of Japanese street fashion in Korea. The time lag has diminished and since 2006, street fashion has simultaneously progressed under the mutual and common influences of global trends. There are more fashion similarities in the spring/summer than in fall/winter. The adoption of fashion accessories did not show any sign of a time lag and many accessories became popular during the same season.
