Description
"THE SOUL STYLISTS is about 40 years of Moderism. A world of clothes and music, highly influential but deliberately hidden away for years from the mainstream media. This book explores the enduring relationship that exists between American black music and British working-class style, tracing a Mod tradition that began in Soho just after the Second World War and continues to this day. From Mod to Casual, from Skinhead to Northern Souler, the soul stylists are an amazing family joined together show more by a tradition of secrecy, exclusively and absolute indifference towards the outside world. They pass unnoticed because soul stylists always shun the spotlight. To them, attention to detail is far more important than attention seeking. And here is this book, for the very first time, are some of their stories." show lessTags
