Photography and Fashion Since the 1990s
Published by Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, Tokyo, 2020, 112 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 26 × 19 cm, Japanese/English
Price: €85 (Out of stock)

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Photography and Fashion Since the 1990s at Tokyo Photographic Art Museum, 3 March–5 October, 2020, including photographers Anders Edström, Kyoji Takashi, Elein Fleiss, Yukinori Maeda, PUGMENT and Takashi Homma.

The 1990s saw the emergence of photographers who went beyond the conventional framework for communicating the appeal of fashion items to create images that appeal to people. Moreover, fashion magazines appeared that took an independent stance in transmitting information. Images created from new points of view influenced people’s thinking and lifestyles. Those images have been referred to repeatedly by subsequent generations.
