We first met Raw (Kota) on the streets of Harajuku back in 2017. We got to know him while he attended his first year at the most famous fashion school in Asia, Japan's Bunka Fashion College. Often wearing his own handmade (or at least hand modified) creations, he immediately struck us as someone who was more serious about fashion than the average Harajuku kid.
During the summer of 2017, Raw scored an internship at the world famous Dog Harajuku boutique (known for their relationship with Lady Gaga as well as numerous other international celebrities and stylists) - establishing himself as one of the new faces worth watching in the Japanese street fashion scene.
Now a second year student at Bunka Fashion College, Raw continues to focus on making his own outfits as well as expanding his skills in fashion styling and fashion promotion. He also spends time thinking about how modern social media impacts what fashion people wear, and how people present themselves on social media.
Enjoy Raw's interview, and please leave comments if you have any thoughts or questions on what he has to say, on Bunka Fashion College, or on Harajuku.

I get emotional when i see this type of videos because i really relate to when they say people look at you weirdly just because you dress differently. For me, by just wearing a short skirt to go out my dad would look at me like im crazy. I've been to harajuku once, and I really believe the place is magical in a way that it gives people confidence and acceptance. I'm from malaysia and the fashion style of society here is mostly uninteresting, or repetitive. It's hard to express my style without people judging me for not following the norm. Raw is only 19, the same age as me, but he's already figured out so much and has such mature thoughts about his fashion and style. I hope to be like that some day.
Natasha CES I can completely understand how you feel.... I live in Switzerland and our cities aren't that big so you will get noticed very quickly if you don't dress like what's viewed appropriate or normal here... I mean there are teenagers that can dress a bit differently but I'm 20 now and people don't accept that anymore... They say things like "Take responsibility for yourself and dress your age"... This makes me sad, why can't everyone just wear what they like?
I hope that one day I as well can find the confidence to just wear whatever I like and I wish the same for you :)
Sorry for spamming your comment with my bad english... Hope you have a nice day
Thanks for sharing!! I also hope the same for you~
I wear a lot of unique headbands to school and cool patterns as well. Sometimes when I get home my mom often judges my outfits. So you're not alone I'm sure what you wear is amazing so embrace it
Natasha CES orang mane?Sabah or Sarawak..biasalah orang tua ..trend malaysia boring..and repetitive ,lelaki semua nak acah macho jer..and fahamx2lah....religious...tok guru others....
halo MagiMoon I feel you!! but i feel the best when i wear what i like~
"The Internet is just the Internet..." I love Raw's thoughts in this and style.
The Adrenalized Artist what a grounded statement.
His words were honestly so inspirational, to be 19 and manage to overcome that fear of what people think about what you wear is amazing, especially as we're all brought up being told to conform to society. I'm 16 now, but i really want to take this on board. I've started to care less about what people think about what I wear, I've worn things I wouldn't have dreamed of a year ago, and now I want to fully let it go so I can stand out and not care about it👏
That's awesome. I started to dress differently when I was 8 or 9. I wore nothing but men's clothing for about a year or two, then I really embraced my sense of style around age 10. It's been twenty years now and I love being artistic with my appearance and expressing myself. Keep it going and have fun with it.
Where do you even find clothes this cool damn
Devilman Hooeee literally anywhere, it’s not about the pieces but how they work together
You have to be creative enough to have a drive to look for them outfit ideas will pop into your head then Yu find a piece that's perfect for it That's why this is an art
I usually find cool stuff on thrift stores and just, you know, mix it up?
6:42 This young, brilliant designer gave the best advice ever: “FOCUS ON YOR REAL LIFE.” 🌟💯👍
Gotta love him! 😍💖
His words are very inspiring in addition to having a great style
Wow such an inspiration! To be able to not care what other people think at 19 that's impressive. I'm just starting to not care what others think but part of me still wants to wear the fashion that's considered "normal" by society's standers to fit in and not stand out. This gives me a little more courage with wearing crazy fashions and I can't wait to go to Japan next year and shop for some crazy things! 🌈🌟🙏
You don't need a job, and you need for people to look at you.
Super insightful! It's really nice to hear a bit more about how things are changing for the environment that Japanese street fashion appeared in. It's also interesting to learn about Bunka, and the philosophy that you can put in your clothes.
I just want to thank you so much for the pure way you showcase these artists. Simple photographs of their style contrasted with only their speaking is a refreshing change from the usual overused instrumental music and awkwardly posed film segments. I got emotional listening to Raw speak about individuality, as I certainly feel that I've been fighting to find myself in a world of clones for many years now. Thank you, thank you, for sharing some rays of light and hope with the world.
I don't know much about fashion, I just feel it's right thing to do that you find yourself in your own way. So Be yourself. I admire this kid's courage.
I love how the styles r unique per individual. Love the confidence. A lot to learn from Harajuku
I wish this young man lots of success in his future endeavors.
Wow, he’s stylish af
In Indonesia, there is a fashion designer called Diana Rikasari. I think she is more like Harajuku style. And first people think her fashion waspada weird. But now, she success and has her clothing line. Not only one but two. And write book too.
So whatever kind of your fashion. Don't afraid with people's eyes. Just be your self
He’s so poised, yet his look is so chaotic. A nice contrast :)
idk why this is such a shock, most guys like this are pretty much the same, it's not that odd.
I gave it a thumbs up hi all the way from the u.s. :)
自分、派手目というかモードなファッションが好きなんだけど、
「原宿」の存在がすごい勇気とインスピレーションをくれるから、
まだまだこれからがアートだと思った。
I love watching these videos because it gives me even more confidence to keep wearing whatever I want and see I'm not the only one that doesn't want to follow the crowd. I get a lot shit in school for what I wear because it's different but they all dress boringly and they follow the crowd. I don't want to be like them, everyone in my school wears almost the same outfits and there's like three people including myself that actually wear different stuff. I feel like dutch students are so judging towards people that stand out, well at least the kids in my school. Next summer I'm going to Japan and Harajuku and I honestly can't wait to wear my most unique outfits and score some special clothes in the street fashion holy place x
He's so young but everything he says is really mature and inspiring! I think it's so great that he wants Japanese people and the Japanese fashion scene to move forward too. He's so pure in the sense that he truly uses fashion as a way to express himself and his emotions. I hope he does a lot of great work in future!
Raw I wish you every success, you are so smart and your sense of style is incredible!
I love his style, his courage and his way of living !
It was interesting this time as well! I like to learn some Japanese point of views about Japanese fashion and Harajuku. Thank you Tokyo Fashion and thank you Raw-san :)
I love this kinda fashion it defies all rules, fucking sick
I love this interview series so much! 💖
Raw is really inspiring, intelligent and confident- that's amazing ✨
Every outfit slayed me, You are inspiring Raw! I go out to clubs a lot where everyone wears the same things. I try to break that mold and be myself. It feels so good not to put yourself in a box. I feel like I can truly be myself even if people laugh at me. They laugh because they are scared of being themselves. It's too bad.

I love Harajuku fashion and i would like to go to japan one day to see the scene.
The first place i want to visit after getting my fashion designing degree is harajuku I'm so much into street fashion and i find harajuku street fashion really unique ❤
Much respect for this courageous, inspiring, wise young man.
I really enjoyed this interview and the way he expressed himself. And I fell in love in how basketball I pronounced in Japanese.
Very interesting and relatable philosophy. His voice is quite calming too. Great informative video!
I really love his style
We miss being 16 and those amazing teenage years! The carefree of those years to being able to pursue passions if one of the most invaluable times of our lives! It is also what that drives us to create our own custom made Randoseru backpack! In Japan we carry a Randoseru backpack through the first 6 years of school, it's such a functional and classic Japanese aesthetic but it's only available to children. We hence made it for adults of all genders and professions! If you are looking for a classic style Tokyo backpack do check us out!
4:11 everyday mood
awesome video. raw seems like a great guy and i admire his outfits. has anyone found his new instagram?? the link in the description doesn’t work..
Me encantaría que vendieran ropa de ese estilo en mi país, la verdad es muy difícil encontrar esos estilos y si los encuentro es ropa muy cara. Al final solo me tengo que conformar con ropa de tiendas como aliexpress o wish...pronto espero ir a Japón :c
Who is german and smiled about the Bayern München shirt he weared? 😂❤️ btw. This is a really famous german soccer team.
I was so focused on the Telekom logo I really diddn't notice until you pointet it out :D
me encanta como se visten en Japón y Corea... i loved
top 3 human ever
It seems harajuju style is dying out which is very sad because it is a form of art, and those that wear are so brave. I was hoping it would spread to the states. Don’t give up.
I really love this guy 😻
i would 100% buy from his clothing line if he made one
Fashion is self expression, this is what he says. This is all you need to know. Fashion designers should be like artists, who create only one work of art, that can be hung in only one gallery. Prints of this work of art are worthless. Fashion is a way of life that changes with each day. Fashion only exists at the moment it is conceived and worn. It is only useful for the inspiration it gives to creative individuals at the felting moment it is seen. It has no use at all once repeated. A fashion designer is a seller of outdated ideas.
great video ❤️🌸
Great! I think men’s fashion is too structured as well 😊
この男の人は私に感動しました。その理由はファッションに言うことが全部好きでした。私は自分のファッションがあると思います。ですから、原宿にある日は行きたいです。

What you dress is one of the more important things.

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them."
Matthew 6:25
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?"
somehow he reminds me of bigmarvel
I want to be "weird" but my mom said no.
The US honestly is boring fashion wise, uninteresting and the same everywhere you look.
haha..exactly...and don't forget western men stereotype you *MUST* be toxic masculine to become man.those right wing still believe fashion still tight with *gender roles* social construct that women and men fashion should be in the separate way....
I agree we need this kind of fashion. No but a way where people can walk around with a new trend of themselves no matter what others think! I LOVE THERE FASHION! KEEP IT UP!
the cover looks like rm from bts
What I've never understood is that everyone hates being Judged but they do it to others ....whats up with that ?
Minute 2 he´wearing a WAP Tshirt. Would he do it when would know what wap means in 2020? :D
🌝
I WANT THIS FASHION STYLE IN #PUBG #PUBGMOBILE
FASHION DOES NOT MEAN "WEIRED".........
aka weirdo fashion
bruh he literally just copied, mainline comme des garcon and margiela, there isnt a single outfit showcased here that isnt a blatant copy of another designer, that guy "raw" claims he dosent want to dress like everyone else on instagram yet he rips off other designers, man dropout of that fashion schoola and become a salaryman
They need a more Anime inspired fashion style, like Kpop for example.
Bishounen Fangirl
Kpop style? No, thank you.
That is pretentious af
gay
Tbh, every single outfit in this video is a mess.
