The East Village Scene Book

In the 1980s Paper magazine was published in New York City and was at the vanguard of the wild craziness of an exploding fashion scene. Even though I didn't live in NY, I usually bought a new copy of Paper when I saw it on a newsstand. The magazine felt both extravagantly hip and a little sleazy. This book is a retrospective of Paper's best work, especially its thought-provoking fashion photography. Kim Hastreiter and David Hershkovitz pushed fashion in new directions through Paper, beyond the Valley of the Vogue and into the reality of the streets.
