These names and photos bring back such memories. I was a teenager in Dallas at the time, and we used to comb "underground" shops for i-D and The Face and similar publications to learn what the pace-setting Londoners were up to. I hadn't thought of these names in years.
That's great to hear, i-D and the face were only popular amongst a particular demographic here in Britain, being in Dallas you must've been at the forefront of fashion and youth culture. I lived in the suburbs and after short trips to London I'd shock people on my return with what I was wearing, I can only imagine how it was in Dallas, it was an amazing time.
Wonderful presentation 👏
Wonderful lots of social history. no mentions of Japan the band or Classix Nouveau or Derek Jarman. But i guess you cannot include everyone. Superb
I am sorry but I believe it was Steve Strange holding the mirror to people trying to get in not Scarlet...?
love the full drag lewks! the pickup truck story is my fave =] wonder about those burly men and their reactions. glad they helped
Thanks. Really enjoyed this. So glad John Flett was mentioned. Such extraordinary talent!
R.I.P. John. Miss your mischievous laughter. Gone from us way too soon 💔
The 70's were politically fraught but FAB. Bill Gibb was one of our best designers, in the Zandra Rhodes shop I could only afford the padded satin clothes hangers or tiny chiffon hankies, Big Biba and the Rainbow Room, Bianca Jagger in Tommy Nutter, and NO student loans, education was free. I am so glad I was a young in the 70's.
What's Hamish up to now? I really enjoy him.
I would strongly dispute that Westwood is a genius! She only ever designed one dress in her life and has simply repeated it ad infinitum. using the skills of very good pattern cutters and a library of costume books but as for personal skills, an ability for self promotion but even that she learnt from her Svengali, Malcolm.
Interesting take.
Great speech
BRILLIANT !!!!!!!!
His last sentences just bring tears to my eyes.
His misinformed 1 minute summary of what was wrong with England in the 1970's proves what I had thought, he isn't very smart.
