What Fun We Had","description":"Not just an ambitious restoration of a fascinating unseen archive, but a book that  takes on the gargantuan task of shifting the collective memory around key moments in British youth culture history, with a mesmerizing force of honesty and humanity.   By the man who’s previous books Skins  (1994), and Skins \u0026amp; Punks (2008), have been  hailed as modern classics, Damiani is pleased to announce the latest Gavin Watson  monograph, titled Oh the Fun We Had!    Appropriating the Madness lyrics as an anthem  of its times, this intimate selection of photography disrupts the notion of skinheads  and council estate residents as problematic figures in an almost endearing manner  while still preserving the subversive character of the cult of youth. At an undisputed  time of little optimism, Oh the Fun We Had! is a very important fly-on-the-wall  testimonial and reminder that  no matter how difficult life is; so it shall also be Fun...  At least when captured from the right angle.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49738218995985,"sku":"NGR9788862086349","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51365682512145,"sku":"GOR014241664","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52763056505105,"sku":"NIN9788862086349","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8862086342.jpg?v=1773919956"},{"product_id":"skins-book-gavin-watson-9781788842167","title":"Skins","description":"\"Skins by Gavin Watson has been argued as being 'the single most important record' of 1970s skinhead culture in Britain, who have possibly been one of the most reviled yet misunderstood of the nation's youth subcultures.\" — Daily Mail  \"Gavin Watson documented his friends as they came of age at the heart of a misunderstood community.\" — i-D  \"Gavin Watson’s cult documentary photo book Skins chronicles the radical and inclusive spirit which originally animated the emerging skinhead culture of 70s Britain.\" — Dazed   Skins by Gavin Watson is arguably the single most important record of '70s skinhead culture in Britain.

These are classic photographs of historical value.   “What makes Gavin’s photos so special is that when you look at them, there’s clearly trust from the subject towards the photographer, so it feels like you’re in the photo rather than just observing.” - Shane Meadows (Director of award-winning film This Is England).   The book, described by The Times as “a modern classic”, forms an important visual record of its time and has attained cult status in the genre, alongside works by other eminent photographers such as Derek Ridgers and Nick Knight.   “Arguably one of the best and most important books about youth fashion and culture ever published.” – Vice Magazine","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49744237101329,"sku":"NGR9781788842167","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52653817757969,"sku":"NLS9781788842167","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53270642163985,"sku":"GOR012990027","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1788842162.jpg?v=1751427033"},{"product_id":"skins-book-gavin-watson-9780955282294","title":"Skins","description":"Perhaps one of the most reviled yet misunderstood of all the youth subcultures, the skinhead look and lifestyle has now rightly returned to the very forefront of contemporary youth culture.

Sartorially proud of their working class roots, the original skinhead was a multi-cultural, politically broad-minded and fashion-aware individual. Favourite music was reggae, soul and ska and key artists included Desmond Dekker, Max Romeo and The Pyramids. Above all else, genuine skinheads were obsessed with their presentation. Their choice of immaculate clothing and invariably Dr Martens boots was the ultimate anti-fashion statement and a badge of both power and pride. Sadly, the fashion suffered a phase of being appropriated by right-wing extremists and for many years was a fashion pariah. However, towards the end of the 90s, the closely cropped look has been championed by a whole new generation of high profile celebrities, including David Beckham and Ewan McGregor, bringing skinhead style back into the mainstream once again. Gavin Watson's critically acclaimed photography of late 70s skinheads perfectly captures a snapshot of this unique youth culture.  The scores of black and white shots offer a fascinating glimpse into a skinhead community that was multi-cultural, tightly knit and above all else, fiercely proud of their look.
