Cultural Traffic presents PRELUDE Transgression In The UK, by Toby Mott. This visual archive explores the UK’s fetish and transgressive scenes from the 1980s onwards, featuring material from Mott’s collection. The book includes pre-internet items, club flyers, posters, and fashion catalogues, documenting this underground movement. PRELUDE highlights the influence of publications like Skin Two magazine and clubs such as Torture Garden, where fashion, music, and art combined. Mott’s collection traces how leather, latex, punk, and goth subcultures moved from Soho to mainstream fashion. From London’s Kensington Market to Manchester’s Affleck’s Palace, this book offers a look into the culture that shaped ideas of self-expression. PRELUDE marks a movement that continues to challenge norms.
