Tokyo’s Real-Life Alien Girl: Sunny Bunny Cupcake, An Avant-Garde Street Fashion Icon
Japan once glowed with a vivid community of fashion kids, punks, gyarus, and v-kei lovers.
Streets of Harajuku were glimmering with fresh ideas, DIY outfits, and budding communities of kids reuniting for their love of fashion and expression. This once-sweet era of Japan died down with the increase of fast fashion, lifestyle influencing, and consumerism sweeping away creativity. But this doesn’t mean that all bubbly things are gone; a few hardcore fashion connoisseurs still roam. One of these people is the showstopping Sunny Bunny Cupcake.
Sunny Bunny cupcake turns heads everywhere she goes for her extravagantly camp looks. Bringing back gyaru and decora with full force, she welds these styles with Paris Hilton’s luscious pink brand, Bratz’s sexy coolness, and all of Harajuku’s glittering energy. Sex doll flair and pops of Lisa Frank’s kaleidoscopic universe top off her wardrobe with a bang.
Calling Sunny Bunny Cupcake a work of art would still be undermining considering the amount of work she puts into every outfit. The only time she does not dress up is for her regular day job, but apart from that, it takes her hours to get ready. Her pink alien look when she appeared at a Puma show took her nearly five hours of work.
Renouncing the normie life, Sunnybunny is propelling personality in its most glamorous, physical form like Tokyo’s young streets once did. She was first noticed on street snap accounts, but her frilly mini-skirts quickly turned into huge coloured lenses, wedding dresses, body paint, fur pasties, aluminum foil, and floor-length wigs and nails.
Irreverently cute and sexy, Sunny Bunny is an enthralling performer and dancer - you can catch her hanging out at the coolest parties. Radiating from the inside out, she’s setting a new norm in fashion, and inspiring us to live to the fullest, even if it means standing out from a strictly cohesive society.
