Overview:
Never Before Published Photographs Celebrating the Eclectic and Bizarre Street Fashion of Japan's Teens.
Follows the Popularity of Phaidon's Fruits and Fresh Fruits.
A fashion phenomenon born in the underground clubs of Tokyo and Osaka has made its way aboveground. The streets of Japan are filled with teenagers clad in corsets, spikes, lacy Victorian dresses, dark eye makeup, black spandex, frilly tutus, patterned knee-highs, ruffled bows, and wigs of all lengths and styles. A mixture of high fashion and home-made ensembles, the Gothic and Lolita scene is one of the more bizarre hybrids of Japanese street fashion, boasting thousands of devotees who dedicate their lives to creating ever more flamboyant and original variations of this fused style.
