Produktbeschreibung
A nostalgic romp through the sixties that changed everyone's lives forever, Mods, Minis, and Madmen© presents a story of remarkable achievement during the twentieth century's most significant cultural reboot. It celebrates a wondrous age drugged by the can-do attitude of youth. Revolutionary London was the birthplace of the boutique, and Mary Quant introduced the mini-skirt-named after a car. John Stephen introduced heart-racing male boutiques on Kings Road that soon carved out a global niche. Lesley Hornby- also known as Twiggy, the Cockney dolly bird-strutted her popsicle legs while touting mini-fashions. East Londoner Vidal Sassoon gave new life to tousled hair with a look that is still with us today. And of course, British sounds, led by the Beatles, hammered the charts in every country able to tune in. The lyrics spoke to us and seemed to sympathize with our turmoil, revealing an honest understanding of life as it would be, up to the age of sixty-four. It was a booster shot that pumped up everyone living in the sixties, and their tales would be told decades later. Mods, Minis, and Madmen© is the tale of a writer and his disciples from the New World arriving in the old, just as the explosion was about to take place.
Autorenporträt
D. RICHARD TRUMAN is an international Creative Director who plied his trade in the swinging sixties in London, then the global epicenter of advertising creativity. It was also the birthplace of industry giants like Ridley and Tony Scott, David Puttnam, Frank Lowe, Alan Parker, John Hegarty, and the redoubtable Saatchi brothers. The trillion dollar global advertising business titillates observers with controversy and don't-tell-all adventures starring heroes and swine in a profession perceived to be laced with cut-throat skullduggery. Advertising is a muscular force that damns us when we listen and shames us if we don't. This is Truman's 10th book. He currently resides in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada with his wife, Bev, and a clowder of moggies.
