Reviews

We thank Gorman for so vividly bringing to life the times when dancing in the street, in fantastic new styles, was a radical revolutionary thing to do
Big Issue
Paul Gorman's intricately researched book is a must for anyone interested in the influence of rock and pop icons on style
OK! Magazine
Covers everything from The Beatles to Bowie, bringing the styles to life by talking to designers, tailors, stars and style icons past and present
The Face
A must for all pop culture fans
Marie Claire
Excellent, immaculately researched history of rock 'n' roll fashion, from the 50s to the present . . . Written after several decades of immersing himself in his subject
Max Décharné, Top 10 London Fashion Books
Beautifully presented and meticulously researched . . . An exhilarating read . . . Gorman's conclusion, that pop's insurrectionist style has been replaced by label-led product, is almost impossible to deny, especially when you see David Beckham in a Grateful Dead T-shirt. An essential purchase for anyone who has ever cared about offending his or her parents
