Not only does she profile specific youth subcultures concentrated in a few celebrated districts, but she also turns a lens on the rest of Tokyo society. Not only does it have lovely pictures of some of the citizens of Tokyo, it has wonderfully descriptive paragraphs about where they got their clothes and accessories from, and sometimes information about the people themselves. There is even a section at the back with the addresses, phone numbers and web sites of the shops where the clothes came from. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a passion for modern Japan, fashion and culture. You really get a good look behind the scenes of the many different styles I admire so much :D Also you feel just like one of those "models" yourself, 'cause most of these pictures aren't shoot professional and aren't photoshopped!!! First, unlike the majority of the other book-length color photo essays, it includes males. It's The Tokyo Look Book: Stylish to Spectacular just a collection of preteen and teenage fashion-crazed Japanese girls. Secondly, unlike its competition, it actually has some text explaining the history of the various fashion trends and fads illustrated in the book. That's useful information since for foreigners and The Tokyo Look Book: Stylish to Spectacular outsiders it's not always easy to see just how the various fashion styles actually differ especially since some of them are amalgamations of several trends. Some times the differences are really quite subtle. Definitely unlike most of the other books on the youth culture fashions, this The Tokyo Look Book: Stylish to Spectacular includes lots of close-ups of details such as elaborate fingernail decoration and individual fashion accessories. This reviewer very much enjoyed the book except that some of the type fonts and layout styles made it unnecessarily hard to read quickly. I personally detest having to turn the book horizontal The Tokyo Look Book: Stylish to Spectacular some of the captions run up and down the sides of some of the vertical pictures. I'm also one of those people that never liked to turn "Playboy" sideways to better examine its centerpiece, so I'm an equal opportunity criticizer on that type of layouts. Otherwise this is an excellent guide to Tokyo Fashions for the teenage subcultures as well as the over-the-hill, aged thirty plus fashionistas who look wonderful in their more classic toned down fashions. The types of kimonos and elaborate hair styles typically worn during the "Coming-of-age Day, a national holiday in early January to honor all those who attained the age of 20 in the previous year" were quite lovely and harkened back to the ancient, colorful woodblock prints showing Feudal Japan. One of the kimonos pictured cost the young wearerYen. The Goth to Gyaru look kimonos are often updated with modern purses or other accent items. Another good book on these fashion subcultures is "Style Deficit Disorder: Harajuku Street Fashions-Tokyo" which also includes a decent amount of informative and helpful text but is more limited in the number of different fashion styles covered. This is the best over-all fashion guide that this reviewer has so far located. Tokyo is home to the most creative and stylish fashion in the world. The Tokyo Look Book takes us on a dazzling journey through the streets, clubs, and boutiques of this trendsetting city to introduce us to the people who wear the latest fashions Sidewalk to Catwalk the people who make them. Crammed with cool, full-color photographs of Tokyo's trendy teens and twenty-somethings captured candidly Goth to Gyaru they work and play, this is a comprehensive look at the richly varied fashion scenes that thrive in Japan's capital city -- from the "gal" mecca of Shibuya, to the goths and cosplayers who hang out on Jingubashi bridge on Sundays, through the cutting-edge kids on the Harajuku backstreets, to Sidewalk to Catwalk stylish young professional men and women on Omotesando Boulevard.
