Ahhh, fashion (to be sung in the style of the theme music to Gok Wan’s Fashion Fix)! For every stylish item, cleverly constructed outfit or tasteful trend, there has been bad taste and vulgarity, the shady yin to fashion’s shiny yang. Sometimes, the distinction is thinly veiled, à la Christopher Kane’s floral print Crocs shown at […]
It’s got to the stage where if I don’t write something about the V&A’s big new exhibition, You Say You Want a Revolution: Records & Rebels 1966-70, it’ll be bloody over (jokes, you’ve got until Feb next year, but still).
