If you love Japanese female fashion get this book! - 07-28-2007, 02:47 AM

"Japanese Schoolgirl Inferno" Tokyo teen fashion subculture handbook" It tells you all about the different fashions that came out in the last 60 to 50 years. It is AWESOME!!!

I couldn't find it anywhere on J-box, but I found it on Amazon:
Click here for link

Looks like it's good (^^) Only two reviews, but both were 5 stars! I'm going to get it as soon as I can~

I SO NEED THAT BOOK!!! I also want a book called something like Fresh FRUiTS, which is a compendium of Shoichi Aoki's photographs of interestingly dressed people in the streets of Japan. There was a book in 2001- so before this one- called FRUiTS, which was the same idea.

Finished reading the book a few days ago (forgot to comment here)~ I loved it! It gave a lot of backround information I wasn't aware of. Though it was also filled with common sense stuff most already know that are into Japanese Street Fashion. (Though, since it's a 'handbook', I guess it's suppose to have both). haha. Much worth the money~! (^^)/

One of the authors, Patrick Macias, is the editor of OtakuUSA magazine. He knows his stuff...

I have thaat.

: D

FRUiTS I mean. Rly guiid. A lot better than that Japanese Schoolgirl Inferno one IMO.

The Waterstones over here stocks it so I had a flick through. And eh, I don;t like it...XD Pretty small and just too basic. It's based solely for ULTRAAA beginners and there's not many picturds in it either.

FRUiTS is rly nize though, although they have a random picturd of a dog in it. Like, just a plain dog on it's own infront of a wall.

XD

Confused me for a while ><
