Opis

British born RICHARD STEIN reveals his KINKY ROOTS as he craftily cuts his way out of a corrupt class system into the glamorous world of high fashion hairstyling. We join him Twisting and Frug-ing through London's Swinging Sixties Sexual Revolution into a world of celebrities, models and weirdoes that inhabit the emerging disco underworld. The memoir draws an insider portrait of an outsider's position in the murky business of smoke and mirrors, also known as Style. STEIN exposes the reader to the manners and mores of Mayfair's influence on an East End boy, chronicling an ascent that's Phoenix-like in its heat and passion. Arriving in New York in 1965 with mentors Vidal Sassoon and Paul Mitchell, STEIN soon joins the party scene in Manhattan meeting a new group of hipsters. KINKY ROOTS are soon shared as he embarks on a new path, dancing alongside New York's Warhol Factory's emerging superstars. RICHARD STEIN is the author of "Set Free;The Book About Hair" {Simon and Schuster} He is a pioneer of "wash and wear haircutting and the Shag haircut. He lives in Manhattan.
