Do you live in Colorado? Do you enjoy wearing Japanese alternative fashion like EGL, Jirai Kei, Gyaru, and Decora? Are you looking for fellow J-Fashion enthusiasts? Check out COGALS, Kawaii 303, and Rosé Forêt!

COGALS is Colorado's original J-Fashion community group! Established in 2002, COGALS has played an active role in Colorado’s Japanese pop culture community, hosting tea parties, fashion walks, pop up events, and more. COGALS currently boasts more than 300 members and hosts meetups monthly (and sometimes more!). Meetups are hosted across the Denver metro area and beyond, as the community has members located all over the state.

COGALS is now available as a Tumblr Community! Please message me if you are interested in joining!

Kawaii 303 was founded in 2025 with the goal of providing a space for those who love J-fashion beyond EGL. It serves as the hub for Colorado’s growing gyaru and jirai kei communities, although members participate in a diversity of jfashion styles.

Rosé Forêt (rōˈzā fo-ré) is a J-fashion event planning organization based out of Colorado. They have hosted one major in-person event so far and numerous virtual events. More events are planned for the future!
