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.
