This photobook is by Japanese street photographer Rei Shito. Since the early 2000s, Shito has been sharing Tokyo street fashion with the world through her blog "Style from Tokyo," and is known as a representative figure of street snap culture in the digital age, alongside Scott Schuman's "The Sartorialist." While this work mainly features fashion from Tokyo, as well as Paris, London, Milan, and other cities, its core perspective is "how individuals express themselves through clothing." It doesn't just focus on eccentricity or trends, but carefully captures the attention to detail of each individual, such as the combination of different materials, the use of accessories, the vintage feel, and the balance of colors, and you can feel the depth of the DIY fashion culture that Tokyo has nurtured for many years. Unlike high-fashion photography that focuses on luxury brands, this work's appeal lies in its recording of the creativity of "ordinary people" standing on the streets. It can be said to be an important archive of contemporary street culture, capturing the atmosphere of cities and fashion around 2020.
