Product reviewsGothic & Lolita by Katsuhiko Ishikawa (Paperback, 2007)

Beautifully informative and colourful.

This book, Gothic & Lolita, is all about Japanese street fashion today in Japan, mostly Gothic & Lolita as the title suggests. The book is huge and packed full of glossy, full page photographs of all kinds of people wearing beautiful and unusual outfits - some are obviously coming out of clubs and gigs at night, some are shopping, some are going their day to day business - all beautiful, unique and amazing. There are a few photos that aren't considers "Gothic" or "Lolita" and are more Decora and FRUiTS but who cares? If you're truly into alternative/Japanese street fashion you will appreciate all the different styles and looks.

I bought this book as it has been on my wishlist of fashion books and managed to get it cheap. I have not been disappointed and even though, over the course of a few nightly sessions, have finished looking at all the gorgeous outfits and reading the info (where they got the clothes, their point of fashion and current obsession) I know I'll continue to look over it for many years to come as I have done with my Gothic & Lolita Bibles.Read full review...
