If you love Japanese female fashion get this book!
 
"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!!!

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

Uwaah!
 
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 ><
