Nobumi Kurimoto Girl's Fashion 1970-1988

Tokyo. CBS. 1987. First Edition. 8vo, 320pp. Cream wraps in silver dustwrapper with Obi. Hundereds Black & White plates. Text in Japanese. 

Killer reference. Kurimoto's shots of girls on the street from 1970-1987, in Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto, Yokohama and the like, arranged by year and roughly grouped by style. There's so much material it's insane, all from a time before people were quite so self aware infront of a camera. So- 320 pages of natural styling, accessorising and youth fashion, with pretty much everything here! Very brilliant.
