Mori Kei (森系) is a japanese fashion that centers around an appearance that is inspired by living in the woods.

History

In 2006, a community called "Mori Girl" was created on the japanese social network mixi. The name was choosen by it's manager, Choco, after a friend commented one of her outfits with "You look like you are in the forest.".

The “Mori Girl” community reached 35,000 people in 2009, and it caused a big boom that lead to creation of multiple mori kei magazines and brands. However, magazines and brands decline with the end of its popularity.

As of 2019, the online article about the origin of mori kei has been deleted, and the brand that has been worn at the highest of its popularity, "Wonder Rocket," also closed its Harajuku store in 2017.

The heyday of the fashion might have passed, but since there still is certain number of enthusiasts, the genre of mori kei itself has not disappeared. There are still brands cathering to mori kei even though the design has changed to suit the present.
