OH YES AND YES AND YES AGAIN! A COMPLETE RUN OF JOHN SUTCLIFFE'S LEATHER AND RUBBER AND LATEX AMAZINE, ATOMAGE. WE LOVE IT SO MUCH. WE CAN HARDLY BREATHE!
Your face when opening this email newsletter at work.
John Sutcliffe may just have been the greatest of British fashion designers. In the specific use of leather and rubber no one in the world would ever come close. And his magazine Atomage is the historic document of the scene he surveyed. Every page is perfect. We have the full run of 32 issues dating 1972 to 1980. We will try and do this in just 10 pictures but believe us, it could have been 100. And forgive us for the short captions below. We are writing fast today.
