| Summary, etc.: | Multicultural, adjacent to London's wealthy financial district, home to artists and designers of all stripes, funky boutiques and a vibrant night-life, the East End is alive with creative possibility, and its inhabitants are stylishly individual and self-fashioned to the extreme. Photographer Anthony Webb, who travelled the world to photograph the most interesting destinations in Thames & Hudson's StyleCity series, has trawled the streets of East London, using his metropolitan savvy to present the colourful characters and inspirational personalities in a heady mix of fashionable portraits animated by aphorisms culled from the wisdom of urban life. |

Summary
East End Fashionistas
An edgy photographic celebration of the unique street style and remarkable personalities to be found in the new urban counterculture Multicultural, adjacent to London's wealthy financial district, home to artists and designers of all stripes, London's East End neighborhood is alive with creative possibility. Not unlike the denizens of Brooklyn's Williamsburg, its inhabitants exhibit a highly individual sense of style, in keeping with their environment. Anthony Webb's exhilarating portraits capture the expressive characters who populate the East End. His full-color shots--framed against raw, vibrant backgrounds--portray hundreds of self-fashioned individuals flaunting remarkably creative personal style. Animated by graffiti found on local streets, as well as quotes from style and cultural icons including Vivienne Westwood, Malcolm McLaren, and Alexander McQueen, this book encapsulates the avant-garde spirit of a new urban counterculture taking not just London but all major urban centers by storm.
