Photo by @kurebayashiii Haruka Kurebayashi (@kurebayashiii) travels the world as a kawaii fashion model, a style that?s known for colorful, playful clothing. But in her eyes, kawaii ? which translates as ?cute? in English ? isn?t just about style. ?It is about accepting diversity,? says Haruka, who lives in Tokyo, the birthplace of kawaii. ?I?ve learned from kawaii culture that feeling bad about myself or disliking someone who?s different than me is silly. People who like kawaii culture are always praising each other. And not only can you enjoy wearing the clothes, but hopefully you can cheer up other people who see you.? ? Haruka shows us around her colorful kawaii world today on our story and on our IGTV channel. To watch IGTV, update your app now, then look for the new icon in the top right corner of feed.
