The December 2009 issue of Lightning – Denim Buyers Guide, published in Japan by Ei Publishing, offers a comprehensive survey of contemporary denim culture and craftsmanship. Acting as both catalog and style manual, the issue profiles leading Japanese and international denim brands, emphasizing the artistry of selvage and raw denim through its detailed coverage of fabric construction, stitching, and dyeing techniques. Featuring studio and lifestyle photography that juxtaposes new pieces with their naturally aged counterparts, it reveals the evolving character of denim as it fades, creases, and personalizes with wear. With brand features, workshop visits, and essays on authenticity and design, Lightning – Denim Buyers Guide 2009 stands as a testament to Japan’s enduring reverence for quality, material heritage, and the timeless beauty of well-worn denim.
