But the book Japan Fashion Now has great in depth writing from Valerie Steele and Yuniyo Kawamura, its focus is Japan, obviously, but it has a great section on the shift in the 80s.

My copy of the new Tashen Comme des Garcons book arrived today. A much larger format than I was expecting - 12"x17," running 3/4" thick.
The contents are mostly what you can expect from a Tashen book by Terry Jones: though not 100%, almost entirely culled from i-D editorials. The earliest date I see from the i-D images is from 1990, though there are a couple of Peter Lindbergh images from 1982. The majority of images are from the mid to late 1990's to present though.
At the back there is a key to what issues from i-D each page came from. That leaves you wishing it had what season the clothing is from instead. Otherwise its visually stunning. I have yet to delve into the few text sections of the book.
