Description: | Adam Thorpe and Joe Hunter set up Vexed Generation Clothing in 1994. Their urban street-wear reflects their concerns about society, civil liberties and the environment.
This outfit was designed to protect the wearer against the dangers and intrusions of urban life. The parka, made from nylon 66, a high-tenacity (neoballistic) fibre used in bomb blankets, is waterproof, fire retardant and knife-proof. Its hood protects and conceals the identity of the wearer. The left sleeve has a slit pocket on the front below the shoulder to hold a facemask to protect the wearer against urban pollution. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Youth Culture and Fashion | Temporal: | 1994 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
