Erste Ausgabe. – Der Mode-Designer Ray Petri (1948-1989) war Creativ Director des Modelabels Buffalo. Zusammen mit der Stylistin M. Lorenz und den Fototografen Jamie Morgan, Martin Brading, Roger Charity, Marc Lebon und Norman Watson entwickelte er die „Buffalo Boy series of fashion spreads“. – „Buffalo quietly defined the look of 80s youth culture, especially in the UK, and this legacy of an uncompromisingly urban style has since inspired legions of designers, stylists, and photographers who were part of the gang, but who absorbed and understood the images and references and made them their own in cities the world over. From the simple combo of the ubiquitous MA-1 flight jacket and an old pair of Levi’s (Ray’s own uniform), to the rarified clothing produced by cutting-edge designers, Petri’s legacy of style and the Buffalo stance is still alive and making its presence felt on the biggest catwalk of them all: the street“ (Kate Flett). – „Fashion really is about styling; that was Ray’s talent. In his own way Ray was a genius; he left his own mark“ (Jean-Paul Gaultier). – St.a.T., sehr gutes Exemplar.
