Amy Arbus / On The Street 1980-1990


Way before the Scott Schuman et al started taking street style shots, Amy Arbus (Daughter of Diane) ran a weekly column in the Village Voice called 'On The Street'. Similar to the straight-ups of i-D she pictured anybody and everyone who appeared interesting. This book compiles highlights of a decade of her work, and features a young Madonna amongst others. Of course, as it was shot during the Autumn of New York's golden era as far as style is concerned all the images are staggeringly EXCELLENT. It really is quite a surprise this book hasn't received the attention it deserves and is very highly recommended.
