When Seditionaries closed in 1980 to be refitted and restyled as swishy, squiggly World's End, BOY at 153 King's Road sold off any remaining Seditionaries stock and continued production of a few selected Westwood and McClarens designs along side it's own BOY and Kitsch 22 togs . These are a few of the items from the 1981 2nd edition catalogue - with titles, prices and (designs by in brackets). Check out the long sleeve muslins for £8.50!! - how much do they go for on ebay now?? I had two and binned them. Whoops!

I can't tell you how much stuff I 'liberated' from Boy.
I used to go in a scrawny youth and come out looking like Buster Bloodvessel.
I think I may have invented the 'layered look'.
You were brave - I was always terrified of the Scottish glue sniffers hanging around in the doorway asking for spare change.
Wow, look at all the cool stuff...
You wouldn't happen to have a working time machine and a couple hundred pounds I could borrow?
:D :D thank you for posting these photos
