Skins by Gavin Watson is arguably the single most important record
of '70s skinhead culture in Britain. Rightly celebrated as a true
classic of photobook publishing, the book is now reissued in a
high-quality new edition under close supervision from the
photographer. The scores of black and white shots offer a
fascinating glimpse into a skinhead community that was
multi-cultural, tightly knit and, above all else, fiercely proud of
its look. These are classic photographs of historical value. "What
makes Gavin's photos so special is that when you look at them,
there's clearly trust from the subject towards the photographer, so
it feels like you're in the photo rather than just observing." -
Shane Meadows (Director of award-winning film This Is England). The
book, described by The Times as "a modern classic", forms an
important visual record of its time and has attained cult status in
the genre, alongside works by other eminent photographers such as
Derek Ridgers and Nick Knight. "Arguably one of the best and most
important books about youth fashion and culture ever published." -
