The fashionable, eccentric pedestrians of Tokyo are captured with hundreds of portrait photographs in this fun guide to Tokyo street fashion. Tokyo is considered one of the world`s style capitals for its vibrant youth fashion culture. Part guidebook, part fashion photography album, `Tokyo Fashion City` takes a stroll through eight Tokyo neighbourhoods, each with its own unique fashion characteristics, to see what streetwise young Tokyoites are wearing, where they`re shopping, what they`re eating and drinking, and where they`re hanging out. Author Philomena Keet and photographer Yuri Manabe accompany the reader to a number of unique Tokyo neighbourhoods, including: Harajuku where high fashion rubs shoulders with hip-hop style; Shibuya, birthplace of the gal and stomping ground for Tokyo`s most sophisticated fashionistas; Hipster hangout Daikanyama; The goth and geek meccas of Shinjuku and Ikebukuro; Bohemian Koenji and otaku neighbourhood Nakano; Ginza`s lunching ladies and dapper gentlemen; The cosplay paradise of Akihabara; The narrow lanes of East Tokyo, where everyday Japanese fashion gets a traditional touch. Each chapter is packed with photographs of young fashionistas captured as they go about their daily lives, with info-rich captions, and insightful text giving the background to the trends and tribes featured. With the inclusion of area maps, and shop and cafe listings, `Tokyo Fashion City` is an indispensable resource for readers wishing to keep a finger on Tokyo`s style pulse.
