Each bookstore will act as a concierge, recommending "the book you should read now" to FASHION HEADLINE readers. Every Saturday, we will introduce books selected by Shelf (3-7-4 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), a Harajuku/Gaienmae bookshop that specializes in foreign books.



■ "When I was seven." by Kawauchi Rinko

This photograph was taken by Kawauchi Rinko to commemorate the 40th anniversary of agnès b.'s iconic "Cardigan Pression" item.

The book, which consists of a first part photographed using her own beloved daughter as a model, and a second part composed of recollections of herself as a seven-year-old 40 years ago, is a sometimes gentle and sometimes dynamic story of one woman's precious 40 years, with the past and future intertwining.
