Let’s talk about something else for a minute.
Tokyo Look Book is one of the best books on Tokyo street fashion around, and believe me, there are hundreds! Author Philomena Keet is a graduate student in anthropology who splits her time between London and Tokyo. She and photographer Yuri Manabe produced this amazing, very well researched book, and it is a visual treat for fashionistas everywhere. The author clearly took a genuine interest in the lives and activities of the people she interviewed, and this approach lends depth and insight that most other books of its kind are lacking. Manabe’s photographs are fantistic, as well.
I bought this book a month or two again and it is now my J-fashion bible. I’d recommend it to anybody that wants a good insight on Japanese fashion. That review is spot on.
