This is England... (Skinhead Chic)

Aww thank you :flower:

I find out on Monday, I am soooo nervous because apparently one girl had her tutorial with him (our tutor) after she handed in her work and he made her rip one of the images up!!!:(


Woah ! Bit extreme , I hope you do well I like the images.
 
^^ I got my feedback and I got 77%! Woo hoo! Not bad for a first attempt, eh!?
 
Well done InnocentFairy- I loved your pictures.

The images from This is England look great. It is such a shame that the far right has infected these looks.

The skinhead look


Rocking this ensemble from head to toe—as David Beckham did on a recent Arena magazine cover—may not be for everyone, but chances are there's a pair of bovver boots or suspenders in your future. And for the record, we said skinhead look, not skinhead outlook.

Thoughts, questions, concerns?

I personaly love it.
 
and if we're trying to get more people to shave their heads, to make it seem trendy, i think it'd be more successful if it wasnt connected with the word, "skinhead."
Indeed. I'd never describe myself as a "skinhead" even though I shave my head (not too short mind you!) about once a month - I have to because my hair is thinning on top (male baldness sucks!) and me with long hair just looks stupid!
 
I love the skin head look on lads .. :heart::brows::blush:

My hair is frazled beyond repair really atm years of bleaching and god knows what have messed it up ..so I am seriosuly consideirng a chelsea cut ..or maybe a longer chelsea style (like the blonde girl in this is england)

So if anyone has any pictures of this hair style ?? then i would love ya to bits

I think this is kind of classic look skinheads have been around for so long but doesnt really ever appear on catwalks i think though for some unknown reason in the past 4 years or so its become more popular.. dunno why though ?? maybes it because hardcore n ska etc. has had new waves maybe ?? ne1 ne ideas ?? Maybe its because the 60's had a revival .. and the trends they are wearing are those of the earlier 60's skinheads.
 
yeah...i think it's only natural that the whole sixties mod thing was in fashion following Slimane's indie rocker inspired collections....and that this progressed to skinhead as the skinheads were a counter product of the mod movement.
it can look really good!
 
"Skinhead" chic? Seriously? "Skinhead" chic?

That sounds so wrong. Not as a style but as a name.
 
^^ i know what you mean skin head is rough tough n ready.. but i guess you could make it chic if you wanted it to be
 
^^^ yes thank you :flower: i really wanna get it done .. but im worried ill regret it so much later on haha oh well we will see
 
I have deleted over a dozen comments made in the last few days due to off topic discussion of political issues.

I am aware that this can be a touchy political topic and it is difficult not to discuss the various things that this style may refer to, but we must stay on the topic of fashion and style. Although it was a good exchange of information about the differences between the US and the UK skinheads as well as the rest of the world ... political discussions are not allowed anywhere on the Fashion Spot. Therefore, any posts in this thread that refer to anything that could be interpreted as political issues, racial issues, class issues, etc. will be deleted.

We thank you for your cooperation.
