PYMCA have unveiled a new edition of the seminal work by
Ted Polhemus
, Streetstyle. Fashion icon
Chloe Sevigny
has been quoted by The New York Times as referring to Streetstyle as her “Sartorial Bible”.
First published by Thames and Hudson in 1994, the book was instantly successful and had a profound effect, describing and documenting how youth subcultures grew, manifested themselves and evolved.
As it’s title implies, it focuses on styles and trends that emanate from the street, having a trickle-up effect, eventually reaching high fashion status.
Dean’s pictures have been selected to feature in, not only the book but also in the exhibition.
The Private view of the exhibition/book launch and signing took place at the Book Club, London on 30th September. You can get your hands on a singed copy by Ted Polhemus from
PYMCA
