A black and white photographic portfolio by Johnnie Shand Kydd offers vital portraiture, while Katherine Hamnett1s blurry vision soft-focuses on some questionable regions, and contribution from foxy queen of downtown erotica Ellen Cantor; Wolfgang Tillmans imagery is so real you’ll wonder why you’re not sweating like his subjects.“I spoke to Wolfgang and, as a regular at the club, felt that he would be perfect to document the club. I was excited by his approach to the project and his unique interpretation of the night. He came down to the club on several occasions to shoot, and we are both extremely happy with the resulting images.” — Richard Mortimer Founder BoomBoxFashion is part of the DNA of M.A.C, inspiring their artists and products worldwide. They were the obvious sponsor for the book, which bursts with colour, and raw creativity at source, dripping in full throttle visual artistry and smudged shadow, coloured paper helmets fashioned that night, MC Hammer-style sequin harem pants, and regulars living such a fabulous life that Monday morning doesn’t even figure on their schedule.”BoomBox has initiated an incredible cultural movement in the most irreverent manner that marries music, fashion and makeup.
