Following on with this concept of everyday heroes of fashion, I continued looking at photographers that focus on documenting life and the concepts and ideas behind the photos as opposed to creating an imagined concept and image. I found myself fascinated by a book I bought not long ago called Fashion Forever: 30 years of subculture by Iain McKell and Liz Farrelly. Its a photographic account of British style sub cultures from the last three decades documented by Iain McKell. It captures the England as it is and was - real people in real situations in real fashion. It shows how people live.
When I showed this book to the group we agreed again that we all liked the idea of trying to capture reality in an interesting photo and wanted to combine this with the idea of Heroes of Fashion.
Here are some of Iain McKell's photos, presenting
"a unique collection of portraits of distinctive individuals, their looks, their styles and their very personal statements." - Liz Farrelly - Fashion Forever
