Editor Stanfill presents this exploration of 1980s London fashion. The introduction theorizes on the general mood of independent creativity that permeated the place and time, and the economic
conditions that allowed fashion design to flourish. Essays from fashion commentators discuss the artistic development of fashion in the 80s, style trends resulting from technological textile
development, and the interface with subculture. Page-filling illustrations present clothing displays, advertisements, and catwalk photos. A list of further reading resides at the end.
