Transalpino Counter Culture Book
Counter Culture is a definitive coffee table book that chronicles 25 years of British working-class style, authored and curated by Jay Montessori and Brendan Wyatt. Fearless and uncompromising, it celebrates the attitude, creativity, and raw energy of Britain’s youth subcultures, charting the period from 1977 to 2002—a time of profound transformation across fashion, music, identity, and social awareness.
Expertly bound and thoughtfully assembled, the 653-page volume is structured across 14 in-depth chapters and showcases more than 1,000 original vintage garments and accessories. You will Find Hurleys Mentioned on page 164! Each piece is meticulously photographed from the authors’ own extensive collections. At 4.5kg and measuring 340mm x 270mm, Counter Culture stands as more than a book—it is a visual record, a cultural artefact, and a heartfelt homage to the enduring influence of British street style.
The book opens with a striking 10-page foreword by Peter Hooton, frontman of The Farm and respected cultural voice. Insightful and politically conscious, his introduction sets the scene, positioning Counter Culture not simply as a fashion chronicle, but as an important marker in Britain’s cultural history.
