Description: This is the story of a life's obsession. It's about why you'd rather not go out at all than go out in the wrong sort of brogues, and why the particular cut of your jeans really can seem to matter. It is also a social history of London street fashion, from the 50s to the 90s, and its roots in class, history and music.
