Fully illustrated, it delves into the stories behind the styles, what sets each of them apart, and looks at the influence and legacy of each of these tribes. Promotion info'Style is a language, a philosophy, an identity. It is reaction, provocation, rebellion, expression. It is counter culture. It is sub culture. It is socio political, potent, bold and powerful. Style Tribes examines how we express our individuality and our politics by the choices we make in presenting ourselves to the world. It is an exploration into the role that style has played within our culture and a probe into the intent, the meanings and the weight behind something we often think of as so frivolous.' Shirley Manson, Garbage Author descriptionCaroline Young is an Edinburgh-based journalist and fashion writer, blogger on film costume design and former assistant digital editor for the Herald Scotland.
