But perhaps less well-known is the fascinating decades-long dialogue between American and Japanese mens fashion that Marx skillfully explores here. He expounds on everything from the Japanese menswear industrys single-person origin (a stylish and eccentric man named Kensuke Ishizu) to the prostitutes who introduced black-market shoppers to perfectly worn-in Levis (gifts from American GIs) to the explosive success of hip-hop-inspired Japanese streetwear brands such as Bape....
