1980s fashion and culture, as seen on the deeply influential pages of Blitz, the pioneering '80s style magazine. In London at the start of the 1980s, three new style magazines emerged to define an era. It was a time of change: after Punk, before the digital age, and at the dawn of a hedonistic club scene that saw the birth of the New Romantics. On the pages of Blitz, The Face and i-D, a new breed of young iconoclasts hoped to inspire revolution. As Blitz magazine's fashion editor from 1982-87, Iain R. Webb was at the centre of this world. His images manipulated fashion to explore ideas of transformation, beauty, glamour and sex. The magazine's arresting, subversive fashion pages, and its profiles of disparate designers and creative types, let the imagination run free. Lavishly presented here are over 100 Blitz fashion stories, with unseen archive content, original images and tear-sheets. A separate section features original Blitz interviews with the key designers, and a vast amount of completely new material: Iain R. Webb has gathered the memories of those involved into a gripping oral history of an under-documented time. The cast of characters and contributors includes: Leigh Bowery, Amanda Cazalet, Boy George, Princess Julia, Nick Knight, David LaChapelle, Paul Morley and Anna Piaggi. Featured designers include Bodymap, Judy Blame, Dean Bright, Comme Des Garcons, Jasper Conran, John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier, Katharine Hamnett, Hermes, Pam Hogg, Marc Jacobs, Stephen Jones, Calvin Klein, Andrew Logan, Issey Miyake, Franco Moschino, Rifat Ozbek, Antony Price, Vivienne Westwood, and more. AUTHOR: Iain R. Webb is Professor of Fashion at Royal College of Art and Central Saint Martins. During his career he has been fashion editor/director of Blitz, The Evening Standard, Harpers & Queen, The Times and Elle. He won the Fashion Journalist of The Year Award two years running in 1995 and 1996. A respected fashion writer, he is the author of Foale and Tuffin: The Sixties. A Decade in Fashion, ISBN 9781851496068 and Postcards From the Edge of the Catwalk ISBN 9781851496471. 150 colour and 100 b/w illustrations
