FRUITS
SHOICHI AOKI
This is a collection of 45 Tokyo street fashion
portraits from Japan's premier fanzine. Fruits was established in 1994, by
photographer Shoich Aoki, initially as a project to document the growing
explosion in street fashion within the suburbs of Tokyo. The magazine has since
grown to cult status and is now avidly followed by thousands of Japanese
teenagers who also use the magazine as an opportunity to check out the latest
styles and trends. The average age of the kids featured in the magazine is
between 12 and 18 years and the clothes they wear are a mixture of high fashion
- Vivienne Westwood is a keen favourite - and home-made ensembles which, when
combined, create a novel, if not hysterical, effect. This collection of
postcards represents a documentation of the changing face of street fashion
throughout the 1990s.
