Tiffany Godoy and Ivan Vartanian's Japanese Goth is rich with amazing inspirational imagery

Tiffany Godoy, author of the indispensable "Style Deficit Disorder" is back on the block with a new tome, the succinctly titled "Japanese Goth". Unlike "Style Deficit Disorder" "Japanese Goth" is not so much a text driven chronicle of Japanese youth culture. In addition to examining a very specific niche, the new book includes what feels like a very curated series of inspirational images that give a sharp context to the cultural phenomena it describes . "Japanese Goth" is as much about these inspirations as they are about the denizens of the scene. With a gorgeously twisted mix of Victoriana, anime, punk, metal and club kid culture this book will serve any image starved designer, editor, photographer or stylist very very well.
