More Description"THE SOUL STYLISTS is about 40 years of Moderism. A world of clothes and music, highly influential but deliberately hidden away for years from the mainstream media. This book explores the enduring relationship that exists between American black music and British working-class style, tracing a Mod tradition that began in Soho just after the Second World War and continues to this day. From Mod to Casual, from Skinhead to Northern Souler, the soul stylists are an amazing family joined together by a tradition of secrecy, exclusively and absolute indifference towards the outside world.

And here is this book, for the very first time, are some of their stories."
