Rebel
Threads : Clothing of the Bad, Beautiful & Misunderstood Hardback
by Roger K.
Burton
“Featuring
over 1300 examples of rare vintage clothing, from the swing, counterculture and
blank generation eras, detailed photographs and factual stories of the clothes
origins, alongside many previously unseen fashion and film stills. The book
traces how these distinct street punk styles were originally put together and
worn by the predominant teenage sub-cultures that emerged between 1940 - 1980,
and set these kids apart from mainstream fashion. With 50 years’ experience
collecting vintage street fashion, costume designer, stylist and former mod,
the author, supplied original mod clothing for the 1978 cult film Quadrophenia,
before establishing the Contemporary Wardrobe Collection, to provide street
fashion for TV and Film. He went on to dress literally hundreds of influential
bands, from David Bowie to the Rolling Stones. The archive now exceeds some 20
thousand items and serves as a valuable resource for leading fashion and film
stylists, designers and important museums around the world. Rebel Threads is
prerequisite for all lovers of vintage clothing, collectors, fashion students,
designers, costumiers and anyone fascinated by the history of stree style.” ROGER
