Signing copies of The Story Of The Face at Paul Smith Beak Street this week

Nov 20th, 2017

I’m signing copies of my new book The Story Of The Face at Paul Smith’s Beak Street store in London’s Soho on Thursday evening.

Smith’s shop is opposite the address of one of my all-time favourite fashion outlets, Demob, which was at 47 Beak Street in the early to mid-80s.

In fact Demob’s opening was heralded in a spring 1982 issue of The Face, with a report by Anne Witchard and photographs by Neil Matthews.

If you’re in town drop in to 46-48 Beak Street on Thursday evening and say hi.

The Story Of The Face: The Magazine That Changed Culture is out now.
