Rockers Style


Great book full of photographs taken on set and around 70's Kingston during the filming of the cult 'Rockers'. Surely by accident the father of countless style source books. Tip!

Stephen Willats / Doppelganger

Wonderful little project from Willats- where he takes 3 people, and builds a portait of them through the objects around them and places they go. It's a super book, and a deceptively simple cultural artefact.

Bodymap

Think this came from an issue of Jill, circa '84, before it flew off the shelf and into the pocket of a collector. A nice 6 page special on Stevie Stewart and David Holah's legendary Body Map. According to a couple of people who were around in the 80's, for a few years Body Map was everywhere. Surely by now a retrospective is in order..
