Fruits Reviews

A funny, funky look at Tokyo's street fashion... Guaranteed to give you that happy-all-over feeling.-Elle

Fascinating... Inventive.-i-D

Will delight all dedicated followers of fashion.-Glamour

hat is exciting about [Aoki's] photographs is that he portrays teenagers' desires to express themselves through the way they dress. The originality and non-conformist attitudes they exude show little desire to follow trends. By taking in references as far flung as Blade Runner nihilism, Vivienne Westwood couture and Hello Kitty kitschness, Aoki's subjects pride themselves on creating a personal identity that is instantly recognisable as their own.-Dazed & Confused
