A fashion phenomenon born in the underground clubs of Tokyo and
Osaka has made its way aboveground. The streets of Japan are filled
with teenagers clad in corsets, spikes, lacy Victorian dresses,
dark eye makeup, black spandex, frilly tutus, patterned knee-highs,
ruffled bows, and wigs of all lengths and styles. A mixture of high
fashion and home-made ensembles, the Gothic and Lolita scene is one
of the more bizarre hybrids of Japanese street fashion, boasting
thousands of devotees who dedicate their lives to creating ever
more flamboyant and original variations of this fused style.
GOTHIC & LOLITA, edited by Katsuhiko Ishikawa with
photographs by Masayuki Yoshinaga, is a new and exclusive
photography collection that celebrates the eclectic and bizarre
Gothic street fashion of Japan's teens. Specially commissioned by
Phaidon Press and based on the creative design of the best selling
Fruits and Fresh Fruits, GOTHIC & LOLITA features portraits and
group shots of Japanese Goths and Lolitas both at home and in the
urban centers of Tokyo and Osaka.
Presented in a simple format with a funky design, hundreds of
teenagers posed for the camera in their imaginative and often
surreal outfits and offered personal insights into the idea behind
their personal fashion choices. The responses are sometimes
surprising, sometimes shocking, often hilarious, and always
compelling. The images combined with the text, which is presented
in question and answer format, present a unique "look book" of one
of the more surreal aspects of Japanese popular youth culture.
GOTHIC & LOLITA allows us to trespass on the streets of Japan
and witness in an informative yet entertaining way this fashion
phenomenon.
The origin of this eccentric fashion movement traces back to
Osaka in the mid 1990s when young teenagers adopted Gothic fashion
in response to the clothes worn and promoted by Japanese Gothic
rock bands. Influenced by Western fashion trends from the mid
1980s, young teenagers, predominately adolescent girls, dress
head-to-toe in gothic costumes and late-Victorian dress. GOTHIC
& LOLITA charts the current trend from the clubs of Tokyo to
the streets of Harajuku and Akihabara.
These street fashions provide inspiration to professional and
would-be fashion designers, as well as teenagers and `Gothic' fans
from coast to coast.
