Thanks to Rowdy for introducing me to the East End HQ of BOY London. I don't know which rock Ive been trapped under but I had no idea it was there now?! Aswell as original pieces and re-issue t-shirts the establishment has diversified to reconditioning vintage European bikes. Another thing I had no idea about and have now learnt about stripping a bike of all gears and breaks to become a fixed wheel model which is light enough to carry into your building without risk of locking it up outside to be stolen. A bike with no breaks? That's the new trend apparently. Have a look at whats whizzing past and you'll start to notice! Yikes! Here is Elisha trying on a covetable coat which she had to reluctantly leave behind. I would love to see her barking orders from the director's chair wearing a gold BOY bomber jacket! Perfect! So if you want to snap up a piece of BOY, a copy of Blitz (see Boy George wearing some Blame on the cover above) and a flash new bike for the Spring, spend your Sunday down at Brick Lane Market.
