The Soul Stylists is about six decades of Modernism & a highly influential world of clothes & music but one deliberately hidden away for years from the mainstream media. This book explores the enduring relationship that exists between American black music & British working-class style tracing a Mod tradition that began in Soho just after the Second World War & continues to this day. From Mod to Casual from Skinhead to Northern Souler the soul stylists are an amazing family joined together by a tradition of secrecy exclusivity & absolute indifference towards the outside world. They pass unnoticed because soul stylists always shun the spotlight. To them attention to detail is far more important than attention seeking. & here in this book for the very first time are some of their stories.
