Fresh Fruits
Forty-five exciting new postcards selected from the acclaimed book Fresh Fruits, the best-selling, second volume of photographs by Shoichi Aoki, a leading publisher and photographer of street fashion in Japan, which is proving to be just as popular as its predecessor Fruits. The postcards are illustrated with an all-new collection of Tokyo street fashion portraits featuring Japanese teenagers between the ages of 12 and 18 wearing everything from haute couture to home-made items, always with utter conviction and often to startling effect. The postcards are presented in a transparent plastic case, which is available in a range of ‘fruity’ colours.
