Scorcha! Skins, Suedes and Style from the Streets 1967-1973
Skins, Suedeheads and Style - Book - by Paul Anderson
(2021)
I thought it was a great cultural movement, the music, the look, they're
things that have shaped who I am... Paul WellerThe skin-suede era was
the most rigorously smart and pedantically correct in the history of
working class street style. Robert ElmsLevis, Ben Sherman, Crombie.
Reggae, rocksteady, soul. The look and sound of Suedeheads - instantly
recognisable in the sixties and early seventies - had a long-lasting
impact on British style. Scorcha!: Skins, Suedes and Style from the
Streets 1967—73 delves into the roots, rise and fall of the Suedeheads
and their close companions the Skinheads.
Covering topics from
fashion and football to the influence of black music and culture, the
book draws on first-hand accounts from the original skin-suede
generation and later adopters, such as Paul Weller and Norman Jay MBE.
Featuring a foreword by Suggs and jam-packed with iconic images, this
is the definitive visual history of the Suedehead way of life.
