Visually stunning and deeply insightful, 80s Sound and Vision is
THE defining book of an unforgettable decade, capturing the raw
energy, creativity and flamboyance of the era through its fashion
and music. With images by renowned photographer Sheila Rock, this
personal journey offers a sumptuous visual account including many
rare images from the photographer's archive, alongside those
originally featured in seminal publications such as The Face,
Rolling Stone and Vogue. Rock's compelling first hand narrative
shot across a decade primarily in London but also LA, San Francisco
and Tokyo, takes us to a time when the real catwalk happened on the
street; when style was the first and last word and when youth made
their own identity, culture, music and entertainment. Here are the
burgeoning roots of gender fluidity and an index of impressive
talents that bubbled out of the suburbs and art schools to energise
and invigorate a grey place with positivity and possibility. This
lavish compendium is a who's who of the artists, designers,
stylists, hairdressers, models and performers, who made the 1980s
their own. Alongside many notable stars (David Bowie, Brian Ferry,
Naomi Campbell, Judy Blame, Leigh Bowery) are documented the
equally relevant style gangs and subcultures who lived by their own
rules (New Romantics, Goths, Mods and Metal Heads) and the 'it'
hang outs and clubs (Billy's, Blitz, Le Beat Route) where a new
sensibility was created and paraded. 80s Sound and Vision is a
unique chronicle of an extraordinary time and bears witness to the
powerful explosion of imagination and innovation that shaped a
decade.
