■ "PEOPLE OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY" by Hans Eijkelboom

This is a street fashion photobook compiled by Dutch photographer Hans Eijkelboom over a 20-year period, starting in 1993, in cities around the world, from Amsterdam to New York, Paris, and Tokyo. Each page features numerous images of people of similar ages and appearances, wearing the same clothes and accessories, on the same day and in the same location. "A man in a black leather jacket and jeans," "A woman with a bare midriff and a T-shirt," "An elderly couple wearing coats and arms crossed," "A striped shirt and long pants," etc. Are there really so many people dressed so similarly? The collection's extensive collection is impressive. This unique book explores the styles and fashion styles of people in the 21st century, and reveals what fashion trends are popular among different age groups in each city and what has become the standard.
