This is a good book breaks down each style tribe and their lifestyle of choice. My only complaint, I wish this book break down (on both genders) where are their signature fashion pieces, hairstyles, make up, accessories, and shoes that they wear like, "The Looks Book [Paperback], Esther Drill (Author), Heather McDonald (Author), Rebecca Odes (Author)" demonstrates it.

Anyone who truly loves fashion, and is interested in the history, heritage and inspiration of it, has to read Ted Polhemus' books. He gives a down-to-earth, knowledgable insight into trends.

I'm a fashion merchandising student and was so glad to find a copy of this book. It is extremely well written and legitimately documented to the extent that my best professors use it as a teaching source. It has become my bible for understanding and referencing the history of alternative fashions and for tracing how they become mainstream. I hope that the author will update it to an edition that includes street fashions from the late nineties up until now. However, it's interesting to note that the alternative styles from the early 90's highlighted in the book have become the mainstream styles of today. This book will never lose its relevancy.

I quite liked the delivery, because the hood came very wrinkled, the fact that he came in an envelope without poteção.
thanks
