Kozue Akimoto Is Releasing Her Second Book This Weekend

Full of photos, illustrations and essays celebrating her 30th birthday.

Tokyo street style star Kozue Akimoto is gearing up to release her second book. In honor of her 30th birthday she curated art from various photographers, writers and illustrators inspired by the different phases of the past year.

The 148-page book boasts contributions from Foxy Illustrations and Chocomoo. In the book’s preview above we see Akimoto in a range of settings chronicling her travels over the year. The images jump from an off-guard street shot to professional shoots where she poses as a model. The book will be distributed worldwide and sold physical at thirty different retailers.

Take a sneak peek at the book above and be sure to mark your calendars for its May 26 release. Stay tuned to her social media accounts to find out where you can pick up the book for yourself. In case you missed it, read our quick interview with her too.
