Gothic & Lolita Masayuki Yoshinaga, Katsuhiko Ishikawa Phaidon 0714847852 / 9780714847856 Paperback New Gothic & Lolita charts the current trend of Gothic street fashion that has swept Japan over the last decade. Influenced by Western fashion trends from the mid 1980s young teenagers predominately adolescent girls congregate in the urban centres of Harajuku Akihabara and a number of underground clubs in and around Tokyo dressed head-to-toe in gothic costumes and late-Victorian dress. The psychological characteristics of the average Japanese Goth is one of introversion and exclusivity. The majority of girls in the scene are teenagers and most usually stop by the age of eighteen. The origin of the movement was in Osaka in the mid 1990s when young teenagers adopted Gothic fashion in response to the clothes worn and promoted by Japanese Gothic rock bands. In the ten years since the trend began it has expanded to a number of cities including Tokyo and now boasts many thousands of devotees who dedicate their lives to creating ever more flamboyant and bizarre variations on the Gothic theme. From handmade black lace dresses based on designs from the 1860s to 'Lolita' outfits lacy Gothic designs that have a pre-pubescent 'rococo' edge to them to dresses with an occult flavour the Gothic and Lolita scene is one of the more bizarre hybrids within Japanese street fashion. Gothic & Lolita is specially commissioned by Phaidon Press. Based on the creative design of the best selling Fruits and Fresh Fruits it will feature portraits and group portraits of Japanese Goths and Lolitas both at home and in the urban centres of Tokyo and Osaka. In addition to the visual content of the book each subject will also be asked a number of questions about their handmade designs and why the fashion is so important to them. This text will run in a similar 'question and answer' format as in the original Fruits publications. The coupling of portraits and insightful first-person commentary will together make Gothic & Lolita the definitive book on the scene in both the West and in Japan presenting an ideal opportunity to view one of the more surreal aspects of Japanese popular youth culture in an informative yet entertaining manner.

Ripped: T-Shirts From The Underground Cesar Padilla Universe Pfeminine m(NY) 0789320339 / 9780789320339 Paperback New A visual history of counterculture music T-shirts, spanning the defining era of indie music. Ripped is the first book to document the shirts of the post-punk and indie period, after the submission of 1960s rock 'n' roll to mass popularity and before the onset of ironic consumerism. Carefully selected from the archives of vintage fashion collector Cesar Padilla, the 200 T-shirts in this book are classic examples of rare and extremely limited shirts created by and for the very bands who embodied the true essence of the DIY and indie movements--from The Ramones to Sonic Youth, John Cale, Talking Heads, Madonna, X, Pil, The Germs, and many others. Each shirt has been photographed in all its gritty, sweat-stained glory just as it was found--on the street, in a thrift store, or inherited from a friend. Introduced by Lydia Lunch, the book includes recollections and ruminations from musicians, fashion designers, and pop culture personalities on the enigmatic and enduring appeal of the rock band T-shirt.

Keet combines her findings with bold graphics more than 200 color photographs information on popular shops and brands and interviews with several Tokyo-based fashion designer to take the reader beyond the outer layers of clothing and into the minds of the wearers. Starting in the street fashion epicenters of Shibuya and Harajuku Keet introduces the fast-paced trends of the teenage gyaru the panda-like make-up of yamamba street kids the Little Bo Peep dresses of the Lolitas and the colorful costumes worn at the biggest anime and manga convention in Tokyo. Beyond the highly visible extreme minority fashions Keet also covers the more sophisticated clothing of upmarket Ginza and the Marunouchi business district showcasing style tribes who are little known outside of Tokyo but who represent what is probably the dominant fashion aesthetic. While Keet's method of spontaneously meeting and interviewing subjects gives the book a you-are-there feel similarly impromptu photography can be frustratingly repetitive (many one- or two-shots playing stiffly to the camera) and occasionally out of focus. Still with its cheerful format and knowledgeable commentary this book is sure to catch the eye of young fashionistas around the globe. Price: |
