Cheap Date

by Kira Jolliffe (Editor)

At last a poke in the eye, on behalf of just about everybody, to uptight fashion dictators. Already a successful cult magazine, Cheap Date -- the book -- is for the imaginative second-hand clothes buyer, the eccentric and the 'alternative consumer'. It confirms what every junk junkie knows -- thrifting style means expressing yourself and being glamorous. The pages detail methods of scavenging; novel tips on customization; research into the increasing homogenization of our choices; ethical consumerism; the psychology of the thrifter and deadly serious photo stories on the hazards of wearing diamante-studded leg-warmers. Cheap Date will empower the skint and inspire the crazy.
