PYMCA PRESENTS “STREET STYLE” BY TED POLHEMUS
A new deluxe edition of Streetstyle – Ted Polhemus’s book documenting how fashion has shaped music over the years – is out now, accompanied by an exhibition in London. This completely updated edition has nearly 100 extra pages, five new chapters, including more than 250 compelling images, all in 224 pages devilishly smart. The exhibition and book launch of “Streetstyle” presents images of the book and a series of talks with Ted Polhemus and guests about the past, present and future of Street Style and fashion subculture.
First published by Thames and Hudson in 1994, Streetstyle has been a revelation right from its launch at London’s V&A Museum. Born in London but successful worldwide, Streetstyle has now been distributed internationally.
‘The Street’ is both – the stage upon which this drama unfolds and the bottom line metaphor for all
that is presumed to be real and happening in our world today.
