About
'Happy Victims' by Kyoichi Tsuzuki is a compelling photographic exploration of Japan's most dedicated fashion enthusiasts. Released in 2008, this book delves into the lives of individuals who prioritize their passion for designer clothing above all else, often at the expense of personal comfort and financial stability. Tsuzuki's intimate portraits and narratives showcase these fashion aficionados within their homes, which are often cluttered with their extensive and meticulously curated wardrobes. The book not only highlights their unique styles but also offers insight into the cultural phenomenon of fashion obsession, depicting how these "victims" of fashion derive immense joy and identity from their sartorial investments. Through his lens, Tsuzuki captures the juxtaposition of extravagance and everyday life, presenting a vivid tableau of contemporary Japanese fashion culture.
