About this Item

4°. 183 S. mit teils farb. Tafeln nach Aufnahmen von Jamie Morgan, Martin Brading, Roger Charity, Marc Lebon und Norman Watson. OLn. mit illustr. OU. Erste Ausgabe. - Der Mode-Designer Ray Petri (1948-1989) war Creativ Director des Modelabels Buffalo. Zusammen mit der Stylistin M. Lorenz und den Fototografen Jamie Morgan, Martin Brading, Roger Charity, Marc Lebon und Norman Watson entwickelte er die "Buffalo Boy series of fashion spreads". - "Buffalo quietly defined the look of 80s youth culture, especially in the UK, and this legacy of an uncompromisingly urban style has since inspired legions of designers, stylists, and photographers who were part of the gang, but who absorbed and understood the images and references and made them their own in cities the world over. From the simple combo of the ubiquitous MA-1 flight jacket and an old pair of Levi's (Ray's own uniform), to the rarified clothing produced by cutting-edge designers, Petri's legacy of style and the Buffalo stance is still alive and making its presence felt on the biggest catwalk of them all: the street" (Kate Flett). - "Fashion really is about styling; that was Ray's talent. In his own way Ray was a genius; he left his own mark" (Jean-Paul Gaultier). - St.a.T., sehr gutes Exemplar. Sprache: englisch.

Synopsis

This is the story of the legendary Ray Petri and his gang Buffalo, who started a revolution in the 1980s in the world of fashion and style.

About the Author

THE HARDER THEY COME, THE BETTER (Ray Petri, The Face March 1985). Mitzi Lorenz was by her own definition a fifteen year-old ragga/punk chick when she first met Ray Petri. He bought her a cappuccino and they chatted for over two hours. So was born the beginning of a lifelong friendship and collaboration together, that was tragically cut short by Ray's death at the end of the 1980s. Over their years together, and along with other founding members, photographers Jamie Morgan, Cameron McVey and Mark Lebon, and brothers Nick and Barry Kamen, they started a revolution in the world of fashion, beginning the evolution and definition of the term 'stylist'.
