Japanese high school girl uniform pimping

Japanese high school girl uniform customized up to the smallest detail. Yes it is the most recent fashion trend to pick up its pace in Tokyo. The trend is known as Nanchatte seifuku (なんちゃって制服, lit. “just kidding uniform”) and started back in 2002. The idea is simple, high school girls customizes their uniforms personally or bring it to a shop that does customizations and add whatever bling and glitters they want and make it look unique up to their hearts content. It's like pimping your ride, but instead of cars you do it on school uniforms. That is just awesome!
