From rococo to Edwardian fashions, Japanese street style has
reinvented many western dress styles, reinterpreting and altering
their meanings and messages in a different cultural and historical
context. This wide ranging and original study reveals the complex
exchange of styles and what they represent in Japan and beyond,
contesting common perceptions of gender in Japanese dress and the
notion that non-western fashions simply imitate western styles.
Through case studies focussing on fashion image consumption in
style tribes such as Kamikaze Girls, Lolita, Edwardian, Ivy Style,
Victorian, Romantic and Kawaii, this ground-breaking book
investigates the complexities of dress and gender and demonstrates
the flexible nature of contemporary fashion and style exchange in a
global context. Japanese Fashion Cultures will appeal to students
and scholars of fashion, cultural studies, gender studies, media
studies and related fields.
