This is Not Fashion: Streetwear Past, Present and Future
Shelflife Online Store presents the This is Not Fashion: Streetwear Past, Present and Future - Multicolour - 1015320.
This is the story of streetwear. Authors King ADZ and Wilma Stone recount how a long line of subcultural movements have taken over both the high street and high-end fashion, and explore just how a revolutionary sartorial trend has evolved to encompass a vast range of disparate tribes, offering a powerful sense of belonging and identity to all.
The story begins in 1972, in Jersey City, USA, with the birth of the first-ever streetwear shop, Trash and Vaudeville. The journey then encompasses punk, Ivy League preppies, the hip-hop kings and queens of Harlem, the dresser/casual movement born out of British football culture, the skater scene of California, the Paninari scooter-brats of Milan, and much more. Whether focusing on major brands such as Stüssy, Carhartt, Tommy Hilfiger and SHUT or today’s up-and-comers from South African townships or downtown Seoul, this dynamic study surveys the scene. It also takes a look at how the internet era has changed the ways streetwear is sold and consumed, and how the field may evolve in the future.
Packed with profiles
of industry pioneers, Q&As with key figures and over 300
illustrations, this is the complete history of the fastest-growing and
most influential movement in contemporary clothing.
