Yuri Manabe Libri

Tokyo is a hub of creative and stylish fashion, showcasing a vibrant array of trends and styles. This exploration takes readers through the streets, clubs, and boutiques of the city, introducing the trendsetters and designers behind the latest fashions. Featuring stunning, full-color photographs of Tokyo's fashionable youth, the narrative highlights the diverse fashion scenes that flourish in the capital—from the "gal" culture of Shibuya to the goths and cosplayers at Jingubashi bridge, and the cutting-edge styles of Harajuku's backstreets, alongside the polished looks of young professionals on Omotesando Boulevard. Yuri Manabe's striking photographic portraits are paired with engaging text from British anthropologist and fashion expert Philomena Keet, who provides insightful commentary on each fashion scene and shares quotes from the featured individuals. The book also includes interviews and highlights of Tokyo's leading fashion designers, boutiques, and magazines, such as the iconic SHIBUYA 109 shopping mall, GLAD NEWS boutique, and influential street-fashion magazine FRUiTS. Notable figures featured include Reiko Nakane, Mana, H.NAOTO, Takuya Angel, and the husband-and-wife team behind Garcia Marquez Gauche, offering a glimpse into the dynamic and eclectic world of Tokyo fashion.
