James R. Holland said Fresh, Funky, Fantastic, Fluffy, Frumpy Flashy Fashions. Harajuku is real place: it's a one-square mile section of Tokyo. After WW II it was where much of the occupying military and their families resided and it was packed with American Stores catering to the military. Naturally, those same stores attracted the young Japanese who wished to see what was the style in America and the western world. Over the years the tables have turned and now fashion designers and fashionistas including pop musicians and television on movie stars flock to Harajuku in search of the latest fashion outbreaks. This rev. Alex H said *COOL* Fashion Book!. STYLE DEFICIT DISORDER: HARAJUKU STREET FASHION-TOKYO is a mid-sized book filled with lots of color and b&w photographs of some of the most colorful and outrageous fashion outfits ever seen.Obviously these pictures were taken in the Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo and it includes historical information that starts in the 60s and pretty much goes to the present. It describes the shops (some of whom are still there), designers, artists, and more importantly the young people that flocked to the area and created their own identities, which helpe. Better than I expected Although this is a subject that "ages" fast, the book does help creating a big picture of Japanese street fashion and the context in which it developed.Unlike other related books, the pictures here are well selected and match the subject of each chapter.
Featuring nearly 200 photos, essays by key Japanese fashion editors, and commentary by Edison Chen, Patricia Field, John Galliano, Shawn Stussy, Shu Uemura and others, this is a must-have, insider's look at an international fashion and pop culture epicenter, past, present, and future.. 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 Comme des Garons, Hysteric Glamour, Super Lovers, A Bathing Ape, and Laforet). 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 an awesome encyclopedic breakdown of Harajuku" —The Fader "essential reading for anyone who wants to get the real lowdown on the fabled district." —Japan Times
