Production of street fashion in Harajuku/Omotesando, Tokyo

1980年代后期，零售商店发展成为住宅区，促进了集聚。在需求方面，自1990年代以来，年轻设计师开设的商店得到了原宿一位著名服装经理的支持。产业集聚对服装生产过程的影响主要体现在两个方面。首先，零售商店将消费者作为设计来源。其次，零售店将制造流程外包给海外工厂，主要是在中国。

The development of the retail stores into residential area in the late 1980s contributed to the agglomeration. On the demand side, the opening of stores by young designers was found to have been supported by a prominent apparel manager in Harajuku since the 1990s. The agglomeration affects the process of apparel production in two ways. First, retail stores are using consumers as a design source. Second, retail stores outsource the manufacturing process to overseas factories, mainly in China.
