Future Beauty is the first comprehensive survey of Japanese avant-garde fashion of the last 30 years.

Today a new generation of radical designers, among them Tao Kurihara and Jun Takahashi, is fast gaining acclaim. This spectacular book, written by a team of experts led by the eminent fashion historian Akiko Fukai, explores the distinct sensibility of Japanese design the uniqueness of its form, cut and fabric.
