From the teenage Elvis Presley’s pursuit of “high fashion” in the early ‘50s at the historic Lansky Bros store in Memphis, Tennessee, to the multi-million-dollar streetwear phenomenon of the new millennium, clothing and image remain as crucial in pop as the music itself.

Featuring contributions from Malcom McLaren, Glen Matlock of The Sex Pistols, Boy George, Kevin Rowland, Bernard Lansky, Johnny Moke, Wayne Hemmingway, Dougie Millings and John Stephen, The Look is the definitive investigations into the links between popular music, fashion and visual style over the last half-century. Examining the influence of the leading designers on individual performers and trends, it looks at the key clothing stores in the history of rock and pop and highlights the artists who encapsulates each style.

A highly visual book with design values to match, The Look features a host of striking photographs and illustrations, many of which are rare and never previously published.
