Reviews

We are sure you will get the picture' - FHM; 'A candid, no-punches-pulled profile, a colourful set of motifs for a cultural subsector and crammed with absolutely enthralling images. Thought-provoking stuff' - Record Collector; 'Arguably one of the best and most important books about youth fashion and culture ever published' - Vice Magazine
