Surfers, soulies, skinheads and skaters: subcultural style from the forties to the nineties - Tapa blanda

This photographic survey features extraordinary clothes worn by members of subcultures as diverse as beatniks and skinheads, punks and New-Age travellers. It covers streetstyle from the 1940s through to the 1990s. These outfits, collected for the V&A's Streetstyle exhibition, are a visual record of subcultural expression over the last 60 years. The clothes are accompanied by quotes from their original wearers, whose readical and often subversive ideas have been a trendsetting influence on contemporary fashion.
