Eccentric Tokyo Fashion Photography

Thomas C. Card Finds the Fierce Females in 'Tokyo Adorned'

— March 22, 2014 — Fashion
Hopping on the plane and venturing to Tokyo in 2012, Thomas C. Card had no idea what to expect in terms of people and style. However, what he did get were some sensational pictures and a look into the fiercest females in this booming metropolis.

Thomas C. Card's photos have recently been released in a book titled Tokyo Adorned, which shows some of the most eccentric looks and outfits donned by these women. It's tough to tell whether or not these were just put on for show, or if some people in Tokyo dress this way all the time. The main fashion tip to get from this, however, is that the more colorful and over-the-top you can be, the better. Oh yes, and looking like a doll is perfectly acceptable too.
