Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis…
Though originally released some time ago, Tiffany Godoy‘s
As you can see above, there’s a two page spread on the influence David Bowie’s look and Sukita‘s photography has had on the street fashion scene in Tokyo…A connection I alluded to back in 2001 (12.25.2001 NEWS: MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!) with this bit of PhotoShop fun…
Anyway, here’s some guff regarding the book…
———————————————————————————————————————–
The Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo has become an international style mecca, a street-level fashion scene prowled by major designers looking for inspiration, and whose local, cutting-edge labels enjoy global cache. Style Deficit Disorder is the first book to explore this remixed, fast-forward fashion hotbed, profiling its most daring and influential designers, labels, stylists, and shops (including Hysteric Glamour, Super Lovers, A Bathing Ape, Sonia Park, and Laforet). Featuring nearly 200 photos, essays, by key Japanese fashion editors, and commentary by David Byrne, Patricia Field, Shawn Stussy, John Galliano and many others, this is a must-have, insider?s look at an international fashion and pop culture epicenter, past, present, and future.
Tiffany Godoy has lived in Japan since 1997, when she began working as a fashion editor for the Japanese culture magazine Composite and then subsequently for Studio Voice. She is a contributing editor and writer for Vogue Nippon, V Magazine, the New York Times Magazine, WWD, and Interview. She has served as creative consultant for fashion and advertising companies in Japan.
