[lbo-talk] Style & GQ.com: Big look for men in '08 is "skinhead style"

[B.]

Oddly, this comes on the heels of Prada playing Death
in June during their Milan fashion show.

Here's GQ and Details Magazine's purchasing guide to
skinhead wear:

Of course, this is boutique skinhead stuff, and, yes,
not all skinheads are, and/or never were, neo-Nazis.
(Rooted in reggae/ska culture, actually.) In any
event, it was a working class thing that the fashion
industry has managed to turn -- yet again! -- into a
high-priced fashion feature, pointing you to Urban
Outfitters, etc., to look like a skin. Yay.
