Asian Fashion and Cosplay Exhibit

In 2008, students participated in a summer study tour in Tokyo, Japan. The tour description read:

Love Harajuku street fashion? Big fan of manga, anime, and Japanese pop culture? Interested in Japanese art, design, new media and its history? Join us for a study tour to Tokyo, the cultural capital of Asia where refined traditions, Zen philosophy and tranquil aesthetic coexist with the exaggerated cuteness of animate subculture and imported global influences.


The street fashion images displayed in the Library, 3rd floor, east contain highlights from an exhibit co-created by the Center for Asian Arts and Media at Columbia College Chicago.
The exhibit runs through December 23, 2011.
