Review from the Trenches

Trenches

>>I came across this piece of very very early (his first actually...) writing by the fashion journalist/lecturer/writer Iain R. Webb (has just written a great book on British 60s duo Foale and Tuffin) via the site of his new concept/gallery store venture Orange Snow.  It was written in 1978 for an art school project to review the Paris collections.  Webb says he was heavily influenced by the punky likes of Julie Burchill, Nick Kent, Tony parsons, Vivien Goldman and Jon Savage.... in other words, show-reviewing whilst under a heavy dose of early 80s NME, The Face and Melody Maker makes  for a far more interesting, if albeit not so insightful (with regards to the collections anyway...) read...
