‘Dress as though your life depends on it, or don’t bother.’ (Leigh Bowery, 1985) The book Outlaws delves into the anarchic energy of the 1980s London club scene, celebrating the avant-garde and experimental designs of Leigh Bowery and his contemporaries, including John Galliano, Stephen Linard, BodyMap, Pam Hogg, Rachel Auburn, and Wayne Hemingway. This unique and bold creative movement sparked an explosion of striking fashion. Outlaws includes specially commissioned photographs of original garments created by 28 innovative fashion designers. They are accompanied by testimonies from musician Holly Johnson, DJ Mark Moore, artist Peter Doig, and photographer Dave Swindells, as well as rare photos and posters from club nights where these clothes were worn, such as Bowery's legendary Taboo. Outlaws captures a subculture that challenged the rules and pushed the boundaries. It is a tribute to the visionaries who reshaped British pop culture and paved the way for high fashion.
