Skins
by Gavin Watson

Perhaps one of the most reviled yet misunderstood of all the youth subcultures, the skinhead look originated back in the 60s as a simple fashion statement. Sartorially proud of their working class roots, the original skinhead was a multi-cultural, politically broad-minded individual. The 70s saw the look adopted by the legions of right-wing extremists and for many years was a fashion pariah. Towards the end of the 90s. the closely cropped look has been championed by a new generation of celebrities, bringing skinhead style back into the mainstream once again.

Gavin Watson's critically acclaimed work is widely acknowledged as a classic photograph archive of historical value.
