The Infinite World of Japanese Dolls: From Religious Icons to Works of Art
Since the 1970s Japanese fashion has continued to surprise. From the emergence of internationally active designers in that decade to Gothic Lolita and other street fashions, kawaii youth culture, and more, here’s a full guide to Japanese fashion postwar to present, starting with a look further back at the social contexts and trends from the late nineteenth century that prepared the way for today’s vibrant proliferation. Garments, photographs, periodicals, video images, and other sources richly explicate the fashions of each era from the perspectives of the creators and consumers of clothing trends as well as of the media that served as their go-between.
