Description: Alistair O'Neill maps fashion's progress in a variety of London locations such as the King's Road and Jermyn Street. He considers many diverse and unusual examples, from tattooing in 1890s London society and hats in British Surrealism to mods in Carnaby Street and Francis Bacon in Soho.
