Description
The 1980s were a time of raw energy and creativity, marked by a flamboyant fashion scene and a vibrant music culture. This visual account, featuring images from renowned photographer Sheila Rock's archive, offers a unique perspective on the decade that defined an era. Sheila Rock's personal journey takes us through London, LA, San Francisco, and Tokyo, capturing the essence of a time when style was paramount and youth made its own identity. The book showcases the burgeoning roots of gender fluidity and highlights the talents of artists, designers, stylists, hairdressers, models, and performers who shaped the decade's style. From the New Romantics to Goths, Mods, and Metal Heads, this lavish compendium documents the style gangs and subcultures that lived by their own rules. Alongside notable figures like David Bowie and Naomi Campbell, it bears witness to the powerful explosion of imagination and innovation that defined the 1980s.
