‘Carnaby Street: 1960 - 2010’ celebrates the 50th anniversary of London’s most iconic street, drawing on a wealth of photographs, archival exhibits and facts to document the history of one street that has been so influential in shaping British style and music.

The vibrancy and variety of the photo- journalistic images record Carnaby’s exciting sartorial past from the 16th Century through to the style tribes of the Mods, Goths, Rockers and Punks to the international shopping destination and creative hub for trend innovation and modern style it is known as today.

‘Carnaby Street: 1960- 2010’ is divided into 6 intriguing themes; Time, Place, Death, Life, Style and Sound, putting into context the history of Carnaby from its earliest origins in the 16th Century to the present day with a focus on the 1960s.  Images are featured by acclaimed 1960s photographer Philip Townsend and exclusive interviews with people who have lived and worked in Carnaby including The Who’s Pete Townshend.

The book is the work of acclaimed fashion historians Judith Clark and Amy de la Haye, who have curated exhibitions at major international museums including the V&A and Mode Museum in Antwerp.  They are joint directors of the MA Fashion Curation course at London College of Fashion, one of the foremost centres of fashion education in the world.  The book also includes work especially commissioned by documentary photographer Syd Shelton, graphic designer John Morgan and illustrator Alice Smith.
