Street Magazine Issue 1 + 2
Really special one here- the first two issues of the legendary 'Street' magazine from way back in 1985. Way before the internet street was the definitive source of streetstyle shots, mainly taken outside fashion shows in London, Paris, Milan and New York. So- we basically have a behind the scenes of all the shows in '85, which includes Comme, Alaia, Anthony Price and so on, plus a lot of out and about shots. Seriously amazing.

Derek Ridgers / When We Were Young : Club and Street Portraits 1978-1987
Whats to be said? This is probably the best book on youth culture that exists at this time. Everything from Skinheads, through to punks, new romantics, goths and all the rest, shot at source by a man who was a fly on the wall throughout the whole lot. Everything that counts is here. From The Batcave to The Blitz and the Wag via World's End and Petticoat Lane. Stupendous.
Search & Destroy complete run (1-11)
The best punk zine ever. Started with two $100 loan from Lawrence Ferlenghetti and Allan Ginsberg. The U.S. scene, far from being a poor impersonation of the British movement, soon developed an energy and talent of its own, which was documented in its own home-grown magazine, "Search and Destroy", edited by V. Vale between 1977 and 1979. Sums up the more intelligent end of the movement. Featuring Patti Smith, Vivienne Westwood, Nico, the Buzzcocks, the Clash, the Cramps, Siousxie, the Damned, Captain Beefheart, Throbbing Gristle, Devo, Iggy Pop, Cabaret Voltaire, the Dead Kennedys, and the Ramones, alongside writers and filmmakers such as William Burroughs, J.G. Ballard, John Waters, Russ Meyer and David Lynch. An amazing and complete overview of the U.S. Punk/New Wave scene in its infancy, as well as being an important link between the beat movement and punk. All issues are in perfect condition.
Purple Fashion 4 - Winter 1998
The last Purple fashion single issue before the magazine amalgamated into one, and then divided again in 2004. Lots of super Bernadette Corporation, Mark Borthwick, Hussein Chalayan, Viktor & Rolf, Helmut Lang by Terry Richardson, Bless, streetstyle a la 1998, Margiela, the new Selfridges etc. Great.
