I recently went to see a collection of photographs by Francesco Mellina at the Liverpool Conservation Centre. The photographs featured a range of images showing numerous local fashion styles between 1978-82 as well as some of the most iconic bands of the period.I found these photos really interesting as they showed a huge contrast between fashion then and now. In the aftermath of the punk movement, people were keen to show their personality and their individuality by the clothes that they wore, before famous brands took over the high street. Although the images were in black and white, you could really see the personality and attitude that this fashion conveyed.
