New Wave Tatty Devine

 Very amazing document of a 1980 exhibition by Susanna Heron. For those of you that don't know, Heron made perspex jewellery in the 70s and early 80s, rather like a new wave tatty devine, and it's pretty amazing stuff. Stocked by Swanky modes amongst others at the time and now somewhat forgotten.

Avangarde Hair - 1977


Phenomenally rare book that accompanied 'Wave 77', which was an industry presentation and showcase for the best working in their field. Amazing work from Trevor Sorbie, Vidal Sassoon, Brian Drumm, Tony and Guy, Jean Marc Maniatis, Renate Ludemann, Irvine Rusk, Mod's Hair, Studio Junge & Michaelis and the Hairtuning group. Full of beautiful work and highly recommended.

Cheap Chic


A superb copy of the legendary book. Amazing DIY guide to fashion and getting dressed. Contributions from Diana Vreeland, Yves Saint Laurent, Jerry Hall, Jean Paul Goude etc. and images by Antonio Lopez, Bill Cunningham, Helmut Newton et al. on how they get dressed and why they wear what they wear. Brilliant!
