FRUiTS, Vol. 17 published in 1998 captures a formative moment in Harajuku’s evolving visual language, where individuality is shaped through quiet experimentation and an intuitive sense of play. In this issue, FRUiTS moves through the city with its characteristic clarity, observing young people who mix secondhand finds with emerging trends to create silhouettes that feel both improvised and intentional. The magazine’s portraits preserve the texture of a late-90s street scene that was still unpolished and emotionally sincere, revealing how style functioned less as performance and more as a reflection of personal rhythm. With its calm attention to detail and its celebration of everyday creativity, this volume offers an atmospheric glimpse into a generation defining itself one outfit at a time.
