Each bookstore will act as a concierge, recommending "the one book you should read right now" to FASHION HEADLINE readers. Every Friday, Daikanyama T-Site (17-5 Sarugaku-cho, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo) will introduce a book selected by them.

■ "THE 501(R) XX A COLLECTION OF VINTAGE JEANS"

This book traces the evolution of the 501 from around 1890 to 1966, with photographs of 51 pairs of jeans. The editors are Fujiwara Yutaka, manager of vintage clothing shop BerBerJin, and Kawamata Naoki, manager of Smiley.

The book traces the history of the 501, from the earliest model with a lot number, through its transformation into workwear, and all the way to the completion of today's five-pocket jeans.
