How long ago did punk splutter out? Remember all those safety pins and slits? What about the New Romantics and hefty blokes slapping on the lippy and eye shadow? How about the much, much earlier Teddy Boys?
I recall going in my early teens to an old tailor working from the front room of a terraced house in the back streets of south Lowestoft to get some trousers narrowed to the cool 14-inch bottoms that everyone wanted in those days. Drainpipes, they were, my cheapo attempt to emulate my fashion idols of those days, the young fishermen (pictured) who were earning loadsamoney every week and getting suits hand made at Edwards in the High Street. They were in outrageous colours and combined Teddy Boy styles with cowboy touches.
