Hi, I am a japanese girl who gonna uni in Engalnd.

I am interested in fashion industry and like to check fashion runway. I have some majour brand items such as bags, shoes and etc. I am not rich, but i saved up to buy them. I didnt buy them just because of the brand name, i bought them because these have a nice designe.

Here is my question, during my stay in England, shouldnt i wear those brands items and bags? I hear that foreighners dont like people with brands and they look down on us. They think its stupid to buy such expensive items, right? Is it true? In Japan, its not unusual that girls are walking with brand bags or wearing brands clothes. But abroad..i dunno... i see less people with majour brands overseas compared to Japan...I dont wanna put my future classmates down...i wanna make many friends at uni...so is it better not to bring my favorite items to England?

Things you wear or have are not important at all.
They don't care what you wear or have like you think you would.
I think japanese people care what other people think about you, but people in overseas don't seem like care too much.
You should wear anything you like and you feel confortable!

Most important thing to make friends is your personality, so if you want to make friends in England, you should have nice personarity!!

You should get some opinions from foreigners too. especially British people!

Good luck!

This is such a stupid question to ask,,,

I think you will struggle as England is on Planet Earth.
You however, are clearly not.

Dear 1st and 2nd guest,
Thanks a lot, yes, the personality is the most important!
I will try not to care about it.

Dear 3rd guest,
I thought its a silly question too, but i just wanted to know. I think lots of things from stupid one to serious one.

Dear 4rth guest,
dunno the meaning of what u have written...

i think you have to not worry so much. if you like brand name things that is what you like. you will find people with similar interests. i think you worry too much!!! don't care what people think!! this is very western though. lots of japanese people care what other people think.

i would suggest you be who you are. if you have expensive bags than don't change, but your attitude is more important. if you say a stupid thing like this than people are not going to like you. people don't like stupid girls with expensive things. and i think that is what question 3 and 4 are saying. you are stupid and buy expensive things.

i can understand you worked hard and you like them. if you say that then people will respect you. what you are saying now is stupid and people will give you no respect.

good luck. i hope you get repect!!

HELL, YOU SHOULD SEE THE PINK OUTFITS THAT JASPER WEARS

There are some Westerners out there who are judgemental or insecure about that kind of stuff but to be honest, don't worry about them. Do you really wanna be friends with someone who looks down on you just for having designer bags and shoes?

On the other hand, if you bring your favorite items, who knows, they could end up becoming some kind of conversation starter and you might make some friends with the same interests or tastes. If you want to make good, quality friends, don't hide who you are and what you like, or else you'll end up with those kind of faceless or judgemental people as your "friends."Quote:
