New York: Simon & Schuster, 1985. First edition. Very good plus.. First printing of this colorful guide to peak '80s fashion presented in a quintessentially Memphis-inspired design. Surveys a wide array of mid-80s fashion and youth culture, with a strong downtown NYC bias: street photography and candid pix of big hair, mohawks, and colorful party-going outfits. Includes an appearance by Keith Haring wearing a leather jacket with an airbrushed image of Michael Jackson on the back. Featuring photographs by Doug Vann. An interesting popular survey of fashion trends standing at the neon intersections of punk, the New Romantics, and downtown club fits. (truncated)
