my favorite fashion magazine that comes from japan! specifically harajuku in tokyo! it highlights fashion subcultures and unique styles in the streets of these communities. it had such an insane cultural significance at the time and a huge influence overtime as it challenged the fashion norms at the time. it’s curated and created such a bold and intense way of youths to express themselves :D!! highly highly recommend going through schoichi aoki‘s photography if you can!

i think people don’t utilize their local libraries enough when they’re such wonderful resources! one of my favorite things to stem from the library and library cards is the app “libby”! it’s an amazing way to get free books, audiobooks, and magazines digitally. completely free if you have a library card (which are also totally free!) go support your local library!
