Gothic & Lolita softback lookbook by Katsuhiko Ishikawa published by Phaidon 2007.
Gothic & Lolitacharts the trend of Gothic street fashion that has swept Japan over the last decade. Influenced by Western fashion trends from the mid 1980s, young teenagers, predominantly adolescent girls, congregate in the urban centres of Harajuku, Akihabara and a number of underground clubs in and around Tokyo, dressed head-to-toe in gothic costumes and late-Victorian dress. Fully illustrated and a fashion library must have. Shows age appropriate bumps and scuffs as pictured.
