5. moussy

Moussy was created to really bring the "109-style fashion" (a type of subculture under gyaru fashion) to Japan in 2000. It has continued to lead 109-style fashion, and now it\'s an incredibly famous brand known not just in Japan but also overseas. They have plenty of cool and sexy items and use components from styles like vintage rock into their designs to create a style that represents a woman with all eyes on her.

There are many people that say that they can\'t wear any other jeans now that they\'ve tried moussy\'s. Why not try it for yourself?
