Tokyo Adorned

The neon, pastels, bows, and vibrant prints of Tokyo's fashion tribes are unmistakable, outrageous, and fun. Recognised around the world, with huge online followings, the city's style icons are photographed here against white backgrounds, revealing a new dimension of personality and emotion in these remarkable individuals. Portraits include fashion icon Kumamiki--the vision behind the Party Baby movement and clothing brand--who has a growing global online following, as well as personalities such as Chocomelo, Saki Kurumi, and Haruka Kurebayashi. The book includes an introduction by Simon Doonan and a cultural critique by artist and writer Buzz Spector. AUTHOR: Thomas C.
