Omotesando Hills
Oooh the drama.
Omotesando, for those of you who don’t know, is the main street that passes through Harajuku, from Omotesando station. It is known for boutique shopping and galleries, fashionable young things and down near Meiji Shrine, the bridge where all the cosplayers and street fashion creators show off and hang out.
This week, a new complex called Omotesando Hills opened. It’s causing a lot of fuss. Mark Devlin from CrissCross News hates it with a passion, other bloggers and design fans have criticised it too, for not “fitting in” with the rest of Omotesando’s architecture.
But that’s not in the realm of this blog. What will interest you fashionistas is the fashion! There are over 93 shops inside this new mall, and while there are some of the upper end stores, it’s not overloaded with the big names like Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc. There’s just a few.
Mainly, Omotesando Hills has small cute boutiques that you can easily spend your salary on. But it’s always free to look.
