Synopsis

Not just about reporting on retro revival subcultures, this visual collection conveys a whole movement wanting the symmetry of modernism, an unrecognized counterculture that has been a significant influence on design since the death of punk in 1979. Revival is not so much about looking backwards as attempting to create a new and different future from that offered by the market, consumerism, and mainstream aesthetics. This book is for the outsider, the individual, the man who has found he is part of the world of "other" without trying.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Since 2008, the cult magazine Men's File has explored the authentic roots of men's style. Whether expressed in the countercultures of surf, caf© racers or hot rods, or in creating retro revivals of the gentlemanly pursuits of cricket or sailing, the magazine has created a stunning visual record of what constitutes true heritage style. Men's File is for those who reject the mainstream, the short-lived, the superficial in favour of true individualism, where style is connected to a way of life.
