[OVERVIEW]
A time-capsule visual guide to London's most exciting fashion shops, published in February 1986 as a special issue of Music Life — Japan's premier rock and pop music magazine. Subtitled “A Visual Shop Guide for the New Age,” this large-format mook dispatched photographers and writers to the streets of London to document the boutiques, designers, and subcultures that were defining global fashion at the height of the post-punk and New Wave era. King's Road, Kensington High Street, Carnaby Street, and beyond — each district is mapped and surveyed with full-color photography, shop addresses, opening hours, and nearest tube stations. Shops featured include Robot Shoes, Wild (Kensington), and dozens of others that dressed the musicians, stylists, and street kids of mid-1980s London. An irreplaceable primary document of the moment when London street fashion conquered the world.
