A landmark publication offering a definitive overview of the rise and fall of the era-defining magazine.

Launched by NME editor and Smash Hits creator Nick Logan in 1980, The Face was Britain’s first youth magazine to present ‘youth subject matter’ beyond music alone. A strong voice of urban identity in the age of Thatcher, it rapidly became an icon of ‘style culture’, the benchmark for the very latest trends in music, fashion, photography and film.

The Story of The Face tracks the exciting highs and calamitous lows of the life of the magazine in two parts. Part one focuses on the rise of the magazine in the 1980s, highlighting its striking visual identity – embodied by Neville Brody’s era-defining graphic designs, Nick Knight’s dramatic fashion photography and the ‘Buffalo’ styling of Ray Petri. The Face introduced Spandau Ballet and Boy George; Wham! and Sade, and was an early showcase for the works of Robert Mapplethorpe, Bruce Weber and Cindy Sherman. In 1990, The Face featured a 15-year-old Kate Moss on her first cover campaign. Styled by Melanie Ward, The Face published a series of fresh-faced cover images, an antidote to the glossy Vogue models of the time. Other iconic cover stars included David Bowie, Annie Lennox, Prince, George Michael and Adam Ant.

Part two shows how in the 1990s, after surviving the Jason Donovan libel suit, the magazine heralded the post-acid house era of Britpop and Brit Art, shifting its focus from London to the regions. However, The Face met its eventual demise in 2004. With an introduction by Dylan Jones, The Story of The Face is an engaging behind-the-scenes look at the rise and fall of one of the most influential publications of the 80s and 90s.

Works well even through lots of unfastening and refastening.
Size: 3/4 Inch X 90 ft, Number of Items: 1
This stuff is a necessity in my house. We use it for cord organization, keeping French doors and cabinets closed (toddler proofing), even on the garden hoses in the garage during the winter. This is holding up great even after removing dozens of times.

bought for work and home
Size: 1/2 Inch X 90 ft, Number of Items: 1
I have tried several different rolls of velcro. What sets this brand apart is that it is thinner than the others I have used, so when wrapped around cables is not as bulky. It does grip as it should. As mentioned in my headline, I originally purchased this for work, so when I wanted a roll for home, I chose this one.

Cheap tie for cables and hoses
Size: 3/4 Inch X 90 ft, Number of Items: 1
I just cut to length, then use a hole punch or ID punch to make custom wraps for cords and hoses. Pull the wrap through the hole after it goes around one cable, then wrap the coiled cable. Much cheaper than buying ties from the local discount hardware store.
