Product Description

Live Forever is a film about a period in the Nineties when anything seemed possible. Britain was of a time, of a people, of a place, which captured the world’s imagination. A bright new culture deserved a bright new government. And it seemed, for a little while at least, that Britain had one. Live Forever is a story that builds to that moment in the Nineties when the politicians recognized the emergence of a vibrant British popular culture and seized it, guerrilla-fashion, to re-brand the country. In the mid-Nineties Britain was swinging again and Oasis’ debut album Definitely Maybe captured the mood of the times; a swaggering and epic celebration of the joys of living purely for the moment. Along with Pulp and Blur, Oasis had kick-started an upsurge in home-grown musical talent. It heralded a new music scene, which became known as Britpop. But it wasn’t just the music. British galleries, catwalks and records were the envy of the rest of the world. British culture rocked and cool Britannia had arrived. Top to learn more

Good but maybe a bit too surface for true fans
I watched a new to DVD documentary called "Live Forever" this weekend and it's entertaining as hell. Most of the interviews feature the big names of the era: Damon, Noel, Liam, Jarvis and other assorted talking heads and pundits. In addition to the 90 min main film, there is a supplement with all the interview bits they didn't edit in, and that section has some priceless moments, especially from Liam. Two examples: Interviewer: You've often been described as androgynous..Liam: What's that mean?I: You have a feminine quality...Liam: What's that mean?I: You have a look that's neither masculine or feminine exactly...Liam: You mean I look like a bird?and he goes on to explain that he does care about how his hair looks cuz that's important.I: "Live Forever" has been mentioned as a song that cystalizes the mid 90s. What's that song about?Liam: It's about living forever, innit?Lots of good music and vintage footage, but overall a...

Cool, sleek, engrossing and crammed with great music
"Live Forever" takes a sleek, well-documented look at "Cool Britannia," the British pop movement of the 1990s that briefly filled the void left by the demise of Nirvana and provided a soundtrack for the new era of Tony Blair and the Labour Party. Though the DVD box promises looks at great bands such as Radiohead, The Verve, Elastica, Massive Attack and Portishead, those groups are just name-checked. The movie is actually dominated by Oasis, Pulp and Blur, three of the era's most popular bands who flew high for a while, got bogged down by feuding and excess and eventually tanked out. My only quibble is that the movie pokes a stick into the old Blur/Oasis rivalry; the feud was a marketing gimmick but the movie lingers on it too long and structures its coverage so that Damon Albairn (who famously came out on the bottom) gets kicked while he's down. Seemingly taking its cue from the Experience Music Project's excellent musical history "Rock and Roll," "Live...

For what it's worth
Nicely packaged documentary not only about Brit pop, but 90's Britian period. The main focus is on Oasis & Blur, with some Jarivs/Pulp (but not nearly enough). Live Forever runs a little over an hour and also touches on politics, fashion, and art of the time. I had nearly forgotten about that horribly cheesey Vanity Fair cover with Liam and Patsy, but there it was--along with a flood of memories of the time.

Product Description

A fully illustrated history of bespoke tailoring—the custom-made men’s clothing that made a small London street a globally known brand to generations of sartorial connoisseurs. Savile Row is renowned for fine custom tailoring—"bespoke" in its own parlance. The term originated when cloth for a suit was said to "be spoken for" by customers who have included generations of stylish and tasteful men, from rakes to royals. Bespoke is the epitome of male sartorial style, exquisite quality, and craftsmanship, and has been worn by a veritable who’s who of famous and important men: Winston Churchill, Cary Grant, Russell Crowe, David Beckham, and countless world leaders. Bespoke charts Savile Row’s contribution to fashion and culture chronologically and features twenty-six profiles of today’s master tailors from historic firms such as Gieves & Hawkes and Henry Poole to more recent ones like Nutters and Ozwald Boateng, who was the first Savile Row tailor to stage a catwalk show in Paris.

A coffee table book with meat as well as sheen
This is a coffee table book by definition. The thing is huge; opening it makes me feel like a Mediaeval scholar-monk ready to work on his calligraphy. But it's also full of information. Glossy pictures and in-depth information, good photography and good journalism walking hand in hand... I like it. The book offers a succinct introduction to Savile Row if that's what you're after, but if you're after just looking for big glossy pictures of well-crafted suits, this book offers quite a few yummy photographs of the best bespoke has to offer for you to drool over.Only caveat? The author, like every other effort to delve into the world of Savile Row, was too selective. Why did he choose the particular tailors that he showcases in the book and not others? I found no reasoning in the book for this. Before buying it, know that, while it is a great "eye candy" book and also full of accurate information (a rare and good thing), it's by no means the definitive guide to Savile Row. For...
