THE STORY OF THE FACE has the size and heft of a coffee-table book, with plenty of striking reproductions of famous covers and spreads. Gorman is a steadfast admirer, and much of the text is given over to meticulous, moment-by-moment accounts of the magazine's inner workings., The Face captured the imaginations of young people for two decades. Gorman recounts the history and influence of the monthly British publication [that] set the standard for its style-conscious readership interested in discovering new looks, music, and trends. Fans of 1980s and 1990s alternative music and fashion will appreciate this retrospective, as will students of journalism and graphic design.

Synopsis
Launched by NME editor and Smash Hits creator Nick Logan in 1980, The Face became an icon of "style culture," the benchmark for the latest trends in art, design, fashion, photography, film, and music being defined by a thriving youth culture. The Story of The Face tracks the exciting highs and calamitous lows of the life of the magazine in two parts. Part one focuses on the rise of the magazine in the 1980s, highlighting its striking visual identity--embodied by Neville Brody's era-defining graphic designs, Nick Knight's dramatic fashion photography, and the "Buffalo" styling of Ray Petr-- and its unflinching approach to journalism. Contributors included a host of writers who subsequently made their impact in the wider world, from Julie Burchill, Robert Elms, Tony Parsons, and James Truman to Jon Savage, Richard Benson, and Sheryl Garratt. Part two shows how in the 1990s, after surviving a disastrous Jason Donovan libel suit, the magazine heralded the post-acid house era of Britpop and Brit Art. However, after the magazine had become the engine of the booming British magazine industry, the end of this decade also saw the eventual demise of The Face. Including an introduction by Dylan Jones, The Story of The Face is an engaging behind-the-scenes look at the rise and fall of one of the 80s and 90s' most influential music and style publications., A landmark publication offering a definitive overview of one of the most influential transatlantic magazines produced in the 1980s and 1990s, Featured on Rough Trade's top 20 Books of the Year list Launched by NME editor and Smash Hits creator Nick Logan in 1980, The Face was Britain's first youth magazine to present 'youth subject matter' beyond music alone. A strong voice of urban identity in the age of Thatcher, it rapidly became an icon of 'style culture', the benchmark for the very latest trends in music, fashion, photography and film. The Story of The Face tracks the exciting highs and calamitous lows of the life of the magazine in two parts. Part one focuses on the rise of the magazine in the 1980s, highlighting its striking visual identity - embodied by Neville Brody's era-defining graphic designs, Nick Knight's dramatic fashion photography and the 'Buffalo' styling of Ray Petri. The Face introduced Spandau Ballet and Boy George; Wham! and Sade, and was an early showcase for the works of Robert Mapplethorpe, Bruce Weber and Cindy Sherman. In 1990, The Face featured a 15-year-old Kate Moss on her first cover campaign. Styled by Melanie Ward, The Face published a series of fresh-faced cover images, an antidote to the glossy Vogue models of the time. Other iconic cover stars included David Bowie, Annie Lennox, Prince, George Michael and Adam Ant. Part two shows how in the 1990s, after surviving the Jason Donovan libel suit, the magazine heralded the post-acid house era of Britpop and Brit Art, shifting its focus from London to the regions. However, The Face met its eventual demise in 2004. With an introduction by Dylan Jones, The Story of The Face is an engaging behind-the-scenes look at the rise and fall of one of the most influential publications of the 80s and 90s.

Messaged the seller a week after I ordered it to see when they were going to ship it. They responded immediately and said it would be shipped out soon. Got it about a week later. Book did arrive in the date range that they provided though  Minimal packaging. Book is Shrink wrapped and only wrapped in thin plastic. No bubble wrap. Book is in good shape though. 
- c***t (923)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThe book I bought was reasonably priced and when it arrived it was in the 'Like New' condition specified in the listing. However, when I saw that the seller had not shipped the book after more than 15 days had passed since my order I felt I must write to say that I had actually placed an order with the seller and inquire when it planned to send the book. The brusque reply was that a tracking number was available, but no number HAD been created until I pointed out that I had placed the order.Catland by Hughes, Kathryn, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US (N° 356798982438)
