EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of 80s fashion and the vibrant energy of London's Covent Garden. Taken on June 11th, 1986, by renowned photographer Paul Barkshire, it offers a glimpse into an era defined by its unique style and cultural movements. The shop window display at No. 60 Neal Street immediately catches the eye with its bold showcase of menswear. The mannequins donning oversized blazers, baggy trousers, and chunky sneakers perfectly embody the iconic fashion trends that dominated this decade. It is a visual feast for anyone nostalgic about the golden age of hip-hop and rap music. Adding to the urban flair is a graffiti tag reading "Cure" which adds an element of rebellion against societal norms in true street art fashion. This juxtaposition between high-end retail displays and underground artistic expression encapsulates the spirit of Covent Garden during this time – a melting pot where creativity thrived. Paul Barkshire skillfully captures not only the fashionable merchandise but also reflects upon society's evolving tastes and attitudes towards consumerism. Through his lens, we witness how shop windows became canvases for self-expression as well as platforms for brands to communicate their identity. This print serves as both a historical document preserving an important moment in London's cultural history and an aesthetic delight for those who appreciate vintage fashion photography. It transports us back to a time when individuality was celebrated through clothing choices while reminding us that even commercial spaces can become works of art themselves.
