Street Fashion Bible

I'm a fashion merchandising student and was so glad to find a copy of this book. It is extremely well written and legitimately documented to the extent that my best professors use it as a teaching source. It has become my bible for understanding and referencing the history of alternative fashions and for tracing how they become mainstream. I hope that the author will update it to an edition that includes street fashions from the late nineties up until now. However, it's interesting to note that the alternative styles from the early 90's highlighted in the book have become the mainstream styles of today. This book will never lose its relevancy.
