Skins Summary

Skins by Gavin Watson

Perhaps one of the most reviled yet misunderstood of all the youth subcultures, the skinhead look and lifestyle has now rightly returned to the very forefront of contemporary youth culture. While celebrities and sportsmen shave their heads for the red carpet, the underbelly of British youth culture has rediscovered the look which is now more fashionable than it has ever been. The single most important photographic record of this unique subculture is Gavin Watson's Skins, now proudly released as a brand new edition, complete with dozens of previously unpublished photographs and a new chapter. The scores of black and white shots offer a fascinating glimpse into a skinhead community that was multi-cultural, tightly knit and above all else, fiercely proud of their look. These are classic photographs of historical value.

Skins Reviews

'A modern classic' - The Times; 'This book has become a cult itself' - Observer Review; 'The world Watson depicts is so skilfully captured, giving an undeniable pull to these pictures, making Skins a compelling tome. We are sure you will get the picture' - FHM; 'A candid, no-punches-pulled profile, a colourful set of motifs for a cultural subsector and crammed with absolutely enthralling images. Thought-provoking stuff' - Record Collector; 'Arguably one of the best and most important books about youth fashion and culture ever published' - Vice Magazine
