A review by typewriterdeluxe
Fresh Fruits by Schoichi Aoki, Shoichi Aoki

3.0

I've read and revisited this book a couple of times now and I enjoy it every time. The only thing I don't like is how difficult the text is to read due to small font size and colors.

Fresh Fruits is special for capturing so many fashion moments in a certain time and place. (I think I like more looks in this compilation slightly more than in the previous book.)

Reading these 2 books makes me wonder about Fruits magazine itself, which I've only seen in occasional scans online. How were the photos in these books chosen from among many others? 

It also makes me wish there was a third book, either covering the last 11 years of the magazine or showcasing highlights from 20 years of street snaps.
