About The Way We Wore: A Life in Threads
The youth-cult confessional to end them all… if you grew up in the Seventies or Eighties, if you ever spent more on a pair of trousers than you needed to, if you ever got beaten up for having the wrong haircut, then this is the book for you. Funny, accurate and touching' - Dylan Jones, GQRobert Elms can remember the moment he fell in love with clothes: it was 1965, and the record player in his family’s North London living room was spinning Otis Redding. His older brother was putting on a show for their parents, dancing across the floral carpet in his new blue Italian-made mohair suit. Five-year-old Robert sat mesmerised.As the lead writer for hip style bible The Face, Robert Elms defined what was cool in the mid-eighties for a generation of British teenagers. From mod to punk there’s barely a look he didn’t dabble in over the years. This witty and often moving sartorial memoir is a love letter to London street fashion, from mods and suedeheads via punk and New Romantic to Comme des Garcon devotees.This is as much a coming of age story about grammar school boy Elms’ own journey from a council estate in Burnt Oak to student at the London School of Economics – the first in his family to attend university - to hip young man about town, boyfriend of chart diva Sade and voice of a generation, as it is about the clothes he wore. It will enthral the legions of listeners to Elms’ popular daily slot on BBC London, as it will the baby boomers who grew up in London during the 70s and 80sPraise for The Way We Wore:'This is not really a book about clothes. It is about class, adolescence and desire. How the pursuit of elegance, correctness and one-upmanship in style could turn any "council house coxcomb" into a star’ – Robert Mighall – The Independent on Sunday'A wonderful book that should be read by everyone who believes that clothes are tools for living' - Tony Parsons'If I could write and had to write a book about clothes, this would be it. A bloody brilliant book' - Paul Smith'Incisive, obsessive and quite brilliant’ - Observer Music Monthly'As stylish and witty as the finery it obsesses over' - Independent On Sunday'Provocative, charming and fiercely proud' - Daily Telegraph‘A brave, unexpected and wonderful book’ - Independent‘A hymn to the burning desire of young men to look right and look smart’ - Evening StandardRobert Elms is a journalist, author and broadcaster, hosting his own BBC Radio London show since 1994. He has published Spain: a Portrait after the General, In Search of the Crack, a novel and in 2019 London Made Us: A Memoir of a Shape Shifting City. He lives in Camden, north west London, with his wife Christina Wilson and their three children, and is a lifelong QPR supporter.
