What started as an odd retail venture\/art installation in a depressed part of London known as World's End became an international byword for glam decadence in Manhattan and Hollywood, combining flamboyant style and all manner of countercultural activity to attract everyone from Pattie Boyd, Marianne Faithfull and Anita Pallenberg to Elton John, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Mick Jagger, Rod Stewart, the Beatles, and Lou Reed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Unfolding over a decade-and-a-half, this tumultuous story invokes a cast of often unique, sometimes entitled, unusually talented and troubled individuals on a collective mission to shake up austere, repressed, class-ridden Britain and white bread America. Some achieved this at great personal cost as darkness, addiction and tragedy stalked those behind the extraordinary shop facades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Much mythologised but never told, this cautionary tale has now found its definitive chronicler in celebrated cultural historian Paul Gorman who has had access to first-hand accounts from all the principal figures, as well as notes for a memoir and a much-treasured scrapbook by Freddie Hornik, the tailoring entrepreneur who survived the death marches of central Europe after WW2 to acquire Granny Takes A Trip in the late 60s and transform into an unparalleled pop cultural force. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Beautifully illustrated with archival images of the shop, principal players and the clothes themselves, this book concludes with a never-seen-before 48-page tour through the Rolling Stones' wild wardrobe of sartorial delights tailored and sold in the original shop.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaul Gorman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many books on music, fashion, design and pop culture, including \u003ci\u003eThe Story of the Face: The Magazine that Changed Culture\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Look: Adventures in Pop \u0026amp; Rock Fashion\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Life and Times of Malcolm McLaren\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003cb\u003eThe Wild World of Barney Bubbles\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.3 x 10.52 x 7.97 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 30, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52050357584173,"sku":"9781399623612","price":41.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/granny-takes-a-trip-high-fashion-and-high-times-at-the-wildest-rock-n-roll-boutique-hardcover-2302537.webp?v=1780169527","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/granny-takes-a-trip-high-fashion-and-high-times-at-the-wildest-rock-n-roll-boutique-hardcover","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
