There’s a lovely article over on the British Culture Archive about the importance of Scouse style in the 80s (and beyond) told through the lens of photographer Rob Bremner. I love the Marco Polo sweater tucked into the pleated slacks …

Great that. I grew up 15-20 miles away and as a teenager was always a little in awe of that Scouse style of the mid-late 80s. Farah kecks and Lacoste jumpers hit our school about six months after they became popular in Liverpool / took a while to filter through and the knock-offs in Ellesmere Port market didn’t have the same allure, funnily enough.

There were many shops in London that you had to buy from in a group, or risk immediate mugging when you left the shop. 4 Star general could be like that also, especially when they had Canada Goose jackets.

+1 on the Lambert/Highlander look striking a note in my proto-fashion mind back then… And also Ford/Deckard 1982/2019, Voight-Kampff test optional

Anyone used to go here? Similar to 4 star general in that you had to go with your mates otherwise there was a good chance you’d get taxed. Big for chipie, chevignon and C17s
