BOY LONDON fashion line

#1 Post by Nickname »

Chris Lowe appeared with the "Boy" cap in the cover of the single Love Comes Quickly in 24 February 1986 and the photo was taken before, obviously.

Buy also Boy George used it at that time.

I don't know who was the first to use it and appear with it.

What came first, the chicken or the egg? The George or the Chris?

It was/is a weird brand. It went from signaling Punk to Gay to Hip Hop to almost complete irrelevancy to a nostalgia-fuled resurgence a few years ago. I even have a “boy” face mask.
I sincerely *love* Disco 2 and listen to it straight through regularly.

The quality of this forum.
Literally a thread about someone recognising the fact Love Comes Quickly has a branded hat featured.
Yes, Boy London is a brand. PSB have since revisited it in the Electric era.
I'm with minimal, what exactly are you trying to establish here??????????????????????????????????????
Better to post a question at the end of any new thread, so we have something to respond to.
Boy London obviously has the word "Boy" so both Neil and Chris would wear the brand in the heyday.
Place is still in business, not a bad buy for dedicated fans. Though there are other brands PSB have been affiliated with. Dior, Y3, and.... what is the dark blue jumper Neil wore in the Hotspot promotions? I can't for the life of me remember. I'm sorry I just can't find the brand name. It was something high-fashion.
And there's Lo, which Chris wears and it's essentially his name.
My point is, yes Boy is big but it's not the only big fashion brand associated with PSB.

Holy shit, stop the presses. Did anyone ever know this? Chris wears a hat that says Boy on it.
You realise they did this for most of the TV appearance too. It's one of the most obviously PSB things you could try to emphasise.
It's like making a thread saying hey look they used an E-mu keyboard in the early days. It's like......okay??

I went there with my parents back in 1986 and I remember asking if they had the yellow logo rather than the standard black and white which Neil wore and they told me it was a one off made just for Chris. I didn’t want the black and white one but had to get it as I was there.
