Tommy Roberts: Mr. Freedom: British Design Hero
One of the most innovative boutiques in rock fashion history, Mr. Freedom was as much a show as a shop - a fashion, art and design mecca for Swinging London's most outré set. In his new book, 'Mr. Freedom - Tommy Roberts: British Design Hero,' Paul Gorman tells the story of the boutique's driving force: the stocky maverick entrepeneur Tommy Roberts, "one of those unpindownable figures," the author says, "who fast-tracked vanguard ideas right into the mainstream."
