Overview"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 guide book, 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 Harajuku where high fashion rubs shoulders with hip-hop style; to Shibuya, birthplace of the ""gal"" and stomping ground for Tokyo's most sophisticated fashionistas; to hipster hangout Daikanyama; to the goth and geek meccas of Shinjuku and Ikebukuro; to bohemian Koenji and otaku neighbourhood Nakano; to Ginza's lunching ladies and dapper gentlemen; to the cosplay paradise of Akihabara; and to the narrow lanes of East Tokyo, where everyday Japanese fashion gets a traditional touch. ""While not a guidebook, per se, Tokyo Fashion City: A Detailed Guide to Tokyo's Trendiest Fashion Districts brings the colorful and shockingly fashionable streets of Tokyo to life. Not only for style enthusiasts, this beautifully-photographed book is also a great primer on Tokyo's most interesting neighborhoods, including chapters featuring trendy Daikanyama, Naka-Meguro, Aoyama, Omotesando, Harajuku, Shibuya, Koenji, Shimokitazawa, and many more."" -BoutiqueJapan.com" Full Product DetailsAuthor: Philomena Keet , Yuri ManabePublisher: Tuttle Publishing Imprint: Tuttle Publishing Weight: 0.567kg ISBN: 9780804851855ISBN 10: 0804851859 Pages: 144 Publication Date: 30 April 2019 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Temporarily unavailable  The supplier advises that this item is temporarily unavailable.
