Gavin Watson’s Skins is a tour de force of publishing. Roundly acclaimed as perhaps the single most important,compelling and illuminating book ever to be produced on youth culture, Skins harks back to one of the most reviled –yet most misunderstood – of all British subcults. Skins features scores of stunning, historically important black and white photographs depicting a community that was fiercely proud and protective of its roots, and will provide a rush of nostalgia to the thousands upon thousands of men and women who once wore their Doc Martens with pride.
