Fish Zhang:

"I want to explore the complicated relationships/friendships between girls by shooting them dressed in similar styles. The location, Odaiba, in Tokyo somewhat reminds me of where I come from- Shenzhen, China. Odaiba is an artificial island in Tokyo and Shenzhen is a completely new town with only 40 years history. The ultra-futuristic side and the fake side of the Odaiba reminds me of Shenzhen and of my teenage days when I was there. I remember I wanted to be/ dressed like my best friends so much, yet wanted to also stay unique. The contradiction of emotion is kind of similar to how the city makes me feel."

The stylist Jen-fang also has similar views with Fish, she tried to reproduce the street styling of FRUiTS magazine back to the 90’s and 00’s.
