Description
The Liverpool Boys are in Town: The Birth of Terrace Culture In the late 1970s, a vibrant youth culture emerged on the Football Terraces of Liverpool, which would come to be known as Casuals. This book tells the story of that era, as experienced by a Season Ticket holder, who recounts the adventures of acquiring the latest fashion trends, from designer jeans to coveted trainers. The book takes a chronological look at the development of this style, from its early days to its global influence. It explores the European experience, a rite of passage for many Liverpool teenagers, and how it shaped a generation. The story also delves into the world of sportswear, which became a staple of everyday fashion. With quotes from key figures and a foreword from a prominent industry expert, this book offers a unique insight into a pivotal moment in fashion history.
