The House Of Beauty And Culture
The House of Beauty and Culture (HOBAC) was an avant-garde boutique, design studio, and crafts collective in late 1980s London, with key figures likeJudy Blame, John Moore, Cindy Palmano, and duoFric and Frack. Until recently, HOBACās influence was widely felt, yet barely documented, part of a subculture rooted in artistic practice, post-punk rebellion, and resistance to mainstream culture and overproduction. Against a dire socio-political and economic backdrop, they were among the first to upcycle found materials and champion androgynous urban style. Through diligent research, interviews, and countless images, Kasia Maciejowska honours the groupās legacy. Thanks to Roma PublicationsĀ (Amsterdam).Ā
