COMING SOON: 80S CASUALS the book.
This book aims to give an insight into a culture that could have been lost and forgotten. A culture that has revolutionised every major high street in the land. Charting the most crucial decade in menswear history, 80s Casuals has almost fetishistic imagery of the most iconic sportswear ever made. This inspirational catalogue chronicles one of the most productive periods in design history. A period of council estate recession emerging to consume great design, from covetable training shoes to Italian designer wear, whilst re-defining male style along the way. The ‘Casual’ came to bequeath a level of taste and quality before infiltrating the mainstream and becoming mass marketed. This visual expression of the period gives an appreciation of some, if not all of the revered pieces from the days of standing on the terraces.
