"Style Deficit Disorder: Harajuku Street Fashion, Tokyo," written by fashion journalist Tiffany Godoy and edited by Ivan Vartanian, re-examines the attire of young people in Harajuku in the mid-2000s, who were independent of brands and trends, viewing it not as a result of consumption but as an act of visual expression. Godoy's text meticulously captures the impulses and spontaneity that emerged on the streets, quietly depicting how individual styles were connected to the city. Meanwhile, Vartanian's editing, through the arrangement of photographs and visuals, positions these not as fleeting trends but as contemporary visual culture. Rather than summarizing Harajuku fashion, this book, through the power of photography and editing, records the very moment when self-expression accumulated, and questions the conditions under which fashion can exist as culture.
