FRUiTS, Vol. 1, published in July 1997, marks the beginning of the magazine and the first printed record of Harajuku street style as a subject in its own right. As the inaugural issue, it sets a clear tone by presenting young people exactly as they appeared on the streets, without styling, explanation, or judgment. The outfits are bold, personal, and sometimes raw, combining handmade elements, secondhand clothing, and unexpected contrasts that reflect instinct rather than trend. More than a fashion document, this first volume feels like a starting point for a new way of looking, where clothing becomes a direct extension of daily life and self expression in late-nineties Tokyo.
