Plan your summer wardrobe with looks inspired by Japanese street fashion, and it couldn’t get more legit than with Miss Japan 2008 Hiroko Mima as model
Sportin’ it
Sporty doesn’t always have to mean trainers. Upgrade the look when you don these nude killer heels, tights and a girly numbered tee, and finish off with a varsity jacket.

Check mate
It takes a certain sophistication to mix pieces with bold and fine prints, without making them clash. Accessorize this very cosmopolitan look with a pair of short pointed-toe heeled pumps.
