Distro - Street Fashion in Japan. 1999. 

Chris Steele-Perkins 

On the surface of things Japan is a society marked by restraint and
inhibition, formality and manners, understatement and conservatism.
However Japan has also reinvented itself as loud, brash and showy.

Walk down any central Tokyo street, or travel on the subway and you are
assaulted by noise: music, instructions and sales pitches, for everything
from mobile phones to sex bars. Walk in the trendy Shibua or Harajuku
areas, particularly in the weekends or evenings, and you will see gaggles
of exotically plumaged girls out parading their look; a look far from the
conformist conventions...
