THE NEW 1982 DISCOVERY.
NIIN KAUAN KUN RIITTÄÄ. WHICH IS FINNISH FOR SOMETHING ALONG LINES
OF: AS LONG AS IT LASTS.
AND WHAT THAT MEANS, TO
US AT LEAST, IS: EARLY EIGHTIES TEENAGE ENNUI IN ACTION SUPERBOOK.
FUNLAND IN FINLAND!
How could that happen?! All this time looking for exactly this book in all corners of Earth... Joseph Szabo Almost Grown, Soren Svendsen Lort Nok, Max Natkiel's Paradiso Stills and Miguel Trillo's Parejas... and then, so many years year later, a new entry in the wasted youth chart from Finland. 1982 this book was published. We are so glad to have (re)discovered it.
Photographed by Martti Jämsä in and around the Helsinki post punk club scene of 1980 and 1981, it is a gem of a book for both fashion and faces - our two favourite subjects!
Fashion 100%. Faces 100%.
And hair!!! This really is the lost book of youth or the book of lost youth; however you want to phrase it, it is all of it!
Nights in black satin.
Oh wow. This is great! There are more images. More than can fit on an IDEA newsletter. It's the new best book ever!
We have three copies and of course they are the only three copies for sale in the world. We went to Finland to find them :) This really is a rare one (rare three). Buy them all!
