HAPPY VICTIMS

The premise of Happy Victims remains curiously subversive: a fashion magazine that actually connected with those who bought the brands they admired. In cramped spaces throughout Tokyo, these anonymous disciples detail with glee their obsession with brands like Comme des Garçons and Alexander McQueen. Kyoichi's anti-heroes are photographed at home, with their extensive collections before them, at once paralleling and contradicting with the fashion world's pretensions to fame and glamour.
