The Young Rolling Stones Return, in All Their Swinging London Splendor, in ‘Rare and Unseen’ Photo Book
The sleek style of the young Rolling Stones gets a definitive treatment to date in Gered Mankowitz's book 'Rare and Unseen' — see photos here.
Their look defined Swinging London: the turtlenecks, the suede, the sunglasses, the corduroys, the Cuban heels, the checkered jackets and pants, all hanging perfectly on those skinny, vitamin-deprived postwar-British frames. Brian Jones’ iconic fringe haircut flew thousands of miles to California, where his and the band’s look quickly alighted on the Byrds, Love and the Jefferson Airplane. You truly feel the insane pace of life as a Stone, because Mankowitz was with them in the studio, in planes, in hotels, onstage (and yelling at The Man backstage), in photo sessions and even in the rare times they were home.
