Style Codes of Americana<\/h1>\n

BEAMS<\/h2>\n
\n

A brand and retailer that is considered ubiquitous far outside its home of Japan, BEAMS traces its roots back almost half a century to 1976.<\/p>\n

It was during this year that BEAMS opened a conservatively sized shop in Tokyo\u2019s famous Harajuku district, famous for its ability to incubate fashion trends. From this neighborhood, BEAMS started its journey toward becoming a pioneer of Japanese fashion, and specifically what is referred to as \u201cAmetora\u201d as a way to describe Japan\u2019s obsession with Americana. This fixation largely centers around American denim, workwear, and military surplus, as well as Ivy League prep from America\u2019s post-war period between 1940 and 1960. One faction of this style set established what was known as aibii style, a Japanified distortion of the English word \u201cIvy,\u201d which was a style born on American university campuses.<\/p>\n
