Published every month by Shoichi Aoki, who is also the sole photographer for the magazine, Fruits was established in 1994 as a project to document the growing explosion in street fashion within the suburbs of Tokyo. Over the last decade the magazine has grown to cult status and is now avidly followed by thousands of Japanese teenagers who also use the magazine as an opportunity to check out the latest styles and trends. The average age of those kids featured in the magazine is between 12 and 18 years old. Most of the clothes that they wear are a combination of high fashion - Vivienne Westwood is a keen favourite - and homemade ensembles which when combined together create a novel if not hysterical combination. This latest publication of the best of Fruits will follow the original Phaidon publication by including translations of the various Japanese captions that were originally attached to the photographs that list the name, age and clothing of each person photographed. 237198 1 6 2005 Fresh Fruits total:197|5:98|4:62|3:31|2:5|1:1| 197 842 268 18 4 1 false false Sun Jul 08 17:42:35 -0700 2007 Sun Jul 08 20:28:57 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Tue Jul 07 10:41:44 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 10:45:52 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Thu Nov 15 23:31:19 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 28 07:27:10 -0800 2007
