Vivienne Westwood in Harajuku

Both Japanese fashion lovers and Vivienne Westwood fans are likely to be familiar with the deep connection between the two. The British high-fashion brand, with its punk history and avant-garde flair, has had a huge influence on Japanese fashion over the decades, particularly helping to form the vibrant Tokyo street fashion style that came alive in the back alleys of Harajuku in the ’90s and 2000s. The everyday fashion icons of Harajuku have, in turn, played a part in transforming how Vivienne Westwood’s fashion is seen and styled all around the world, with Tokyo street snaps and Japanese manga series like Nana shining a fresh light on the brand’s signature style. Vivienne Westwood is deeply embedded in the core of Harajuku fashion, so it only makes sense that you’ll find one of the best Vivienne Westwood boutiques in the heart of the Harajuku neighborhood.

For Vivienne Westwood fans visiting Japan, there are a few enticing Vivienne Westwood shops in the wider Harajuku area, but the boutique on the first floor of Laforet HARAJUKU has long stood out like a gleaming gem amid the neighborhood’s riot of teeming crowds and new trends. Even in a mall known for its eclectic mix of street fashion and high-end brands, the Vivienne Westwood shop draws its own crowds. Which is why this year’s short closure for renovations from late May to early July (2025) was a thorn in the side of many hopeful shoppers dreaming of decadent Harajuku shopping trips. Fortunately, the Vivienne Westwood boutique in Laforet HARAJUKU is finally back – and we think it’s better than ever.

The Grand Reopening of the Harajuku Vivienne Westwood RED+MAN Store

On July 5th, 2025, the Harajuku Vivienne Westwood RED+MAN Store opened to welcome back a wave of local customers and international visitors, just over a month after the former Harajuku Vivienne Westwood Store had closed for renovations. Refreshed with a new look and a new lineup, the boutique now brings together all of the three exclusive Vivienne Westwood collections currently only available in Japan: RED LABEL, MAN, and RED+MAN. Up until this point, boutiques for these two lines could be found around Japan, but thanks to this round of renovations, anyone looking to find exclusive Japan-limited Vivienne Westwood products can now do all their shopping in one spot. Just head to Japan’s most iconic fashion district, between Harajuku and Omotesando.

For the shop’s grand reopening celebrations, a steady trickle of influencers and Tokyo’s fashion elite could be seen on the premises, arriving to admire the shop’s new look, new selection, and special pre-opening preview decorations.

Shoppers can now browse racks of Vivienne Westwood RED LABEL, MAN, and RED+MAN designs, all elegantly accented by the new striped mirrors that run all along the back wall. These mirrors not only make the shop feel spacious, but the design is also a special treat for any experts knowledgeable about the design house’s history – the striped pattern on the mirrors and walls is actually the “Anarchy Print” pulled from the Vivienne Westwood archive. The reflections show off the designs from every angle, as well as the bustle of the Harajuku streets on the other side of the windows!

The Place to Shop Japan-Exclusive Vivienne Westwood Products in Tokyo

Now that the Harajuku Vivienne Westwood boutique is back open for business, it’s the go-to destination for shoppers interested in Vivienne Westwood only available in Japan, with a selection of items from the RED LABEL, MAN, and RED+MAN lines. Racks show off a wide range of apparel, from casual looks to special occasion pieces. Glass cases hold many of the designer’s most popular accessory collections, while shelves display everything from the most practical purses to accessories with more avant-garde designs, perfect for making a bold fashion statement any day of the week.

For the pre-opening preview (July 2025), the shop was full to the brim with items from this year’s autumn/winter collection, offering a stylish wardrobe refresh of long sleeves and warm coats to show off in the coming months. (Truly a dreamy thought in the midst of Tokyo’s steamy July heat!) Since the shop has only just reopened, it’s extremely well stocked right at this moment, making now a fantastic time to shop for totally new designs as well as classics!
