Hiroshi Fujiwara - Fragment #2 Book

Hiroshi Fujiwara masters the hothouse atmosphere of Harajuku, Tokyo's street fashion and cultural district. Recognized worldwide as a pioneer in streetwear, music and art, he is the ultimate arbiter of cool. Fujiwara is internationally recognized as one of the founding fathers of the 1990s Tokyo scene and exerts a disproportionate influence on contemporary design culture. With recent and highly successful collaborations with Louis Vuitton and Moncler, as well as his major work at Nike and Medicom, Fujiwara refines an aesthetic rooted in punk, hip-hop and skate culture and translates it into pure luxury.

Fujiwara, a musician and producer originally from western Japan, is one of the most prolific sneaker designers and his sneakers remain among the most sought-after collectibles. In addition to his highly visible and long-standing collaborations with major Western brands, he has long-standing connections with Japanese disruptors such as Jun Takahashi of Undercover and is the head of Tokyo-based Fragment Design.

This book chronicles his thirty-plus year reign as arbiter of the hip and presents his current preoccupations. It includes chapters on his coveted artwork and graphics, sneakers, product design and curated personal items, giving readers a unique insight into the work of one of the most influential tastemakers of our time.
